if Dan Murrell doesn't like it, it must be bad

I never watched any of the TV series "Picard" because I kept hearing it was a shit-show, but along comes critic Dan Murrell with a belated review of the first two seasons of the series, and Dan hates it. I watch a few critics on YouTube; politically, most of them skew left (with the notable exception of The Critical Drinker). Dan Murrell (surname rhymes with twirl), who's pretty mild-mannered, is as much of a leftie as the other critics; he doesn't complain much (or at all, really) about things like encroaching wokeness and other forms of Hollywood poison, but if even he hates a show like "Picard," then "Picard" must be a pretty bad show. Anyway, if you're prepared for the ultimate flaying of a TV series, here's Dan in his own words:

I've never heard the man be this critical. That in itself is astounding. I mean, seriously, this is wave after wave of ranting about story logic. Brutal. And a lot of his insights sound very much like something The Critical Drinker might say, especially regarding shitting on canon.
