I watched Picard too, based on the advice of a friend. It started out seeming pretty promising, and just kept getting worse, all the way to the end.
It's not actually Star Trek, but the Orville is the best Trek that has been made since DS9. It starts pretty campy and stupid, but it gets really good! They back off the jokes and goofiness, and start making an impactful show after a few episodes. I may have fast forwarded through parts of episode two, but I'm so glad that I stuck with the show. You sound like your tastes align with mine, and I highly advise watching The Orville, and giving it a chance to find its footing.
Ooh yeah I've heard people speak highly of The Orville, and I keep forgetting to check it out! If I'm not mistaken, it's got Penny Johnson (Kasidy Yates) in it, right?
Yes, she's one of the main characters. She has a pretty interesting storyline throughout the show.
