Star Trek: Picard is a ten part series created by CBS All Access and is streaming on Amazon Prime Video in most countries outside of the USA, including Australia. The series sees Patrick Stewart returning to the Star Trek universe and to the iconic role of Jean-Luc Picard - the role that made him a household name.Please note: there are mild spoilers ahead for Picard, and larger spoilers for Star Trek: Nemesis.
In the year 2399, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is retired from the United Federation Of Planets (Starfleet) and has taken charge at his family vineyard, Château Picard.
In his final mission for Starfleet, Picard was due to oversee the mass evacuation of Romulus, which was under threat of destruction from a nearby Supernova. At the same time, a violent uprising of synthetic lifeforms on Mars resulted in the banning of all synthetic life and research, and the sidelining of the Starfleet rescue armada. Picard’s alternate rescue plan was rejected by Starfleet and his acrimonious resignation was the result.
Then, many years into retirement, Picard is contacted by a young woman named Dahj (Isa Briones) who has been attacked by agents from the Romulan secret service, the Tal Shiar. Not knowing why she was targeted, Dahj turns to Picard for protection and help in finding her twin sister Soji (also played by Isa Briones). This sets the series in motion as Picard must come out of retirement, put together a crew and head out on a mission that involves a captured Borg Cube, a shadowy Romulan black ops unit known as the Zhat Vash, and in the grand tradition of The Next Generation, some philosophical pondering on human nature and what it means to be alive.
