I was just talking about how season 1 of TNG and DS9 sucked. As long as its not like that sort of gamergate "ugh, theres a new character that isnt a white guy and I'm really upset about this for some reason", it should be fine. I definitely think a big part of the star trek fandom is bitching about star trek
I think both TNG and DS9 S1 were more uneven than outright sucking. You've got some great episodes like Measure of a Man and Duet in there.
That's fair, there are definitely good episodes in the bunch. But the sheer volume of filler episodes really weigh both down
Maybe not as much as you think, take a look at these graphs:

They definitely skew towards the low end but it's not that far from the rest of the series. Also I was mistaken Measure of a Man is a S2 episode. That being said outside of Code of Honor and Angel One most of the episodes are decent to good. There is the weird this seems like TOS and it doesn't quite fit but it's also fun to see the goofiness on a rewatch aspect.
The first 17 minutes of Picard S2E1 was awful. And I couldn't skip thru it like I normally would have because I thought it might have set something important up. Nope. I could have skipped it easily.
