I like Shaw more than Rayner and I DEFINITELY adore Todd Stashwick. He's my kind of improv comedy performer and nerd. But neither of them need their own series.
Am I the Only One Who Desperately Craves a Captain Shaw Series?

What if they teamed up as a pair of gruff, but somehow lovable cops?

Only if Picard's French bulldog Number One is their lovable sidekick.
Rayner: In twenty words or less, tell me why you'd make a suitable partner.
Shaw: No
The irony of this entire thread is that a Shaw series as Shaw himself describes his career would be incredibly boring. He himself described his career in his first episode as run of the mill, dry, science-y type stuff with no action or fighting. The stuff in Picard Season 3 was the exception, not the norm, and Shaw himself was deeply dismayed by everything that happened in that season. If Shaw found himself in a mission involving lots of explosions etc. (i.e. the stuff fans want to see in Star Trek), he'd ask to be reassigned to another mission/ship.
I'd turn THAT gold into a movie franchise!
So maybe we get a more mundane, average, mission of the week, minus explosions or combat and just strange new worlds.
Despite the fact that everyone always that's what they want in a Star Trek series, they'd almost certainly complain about that series and find a way to complain about it being "un-Trek" or something.
I'm not watching average, mundane, nothing they do matters. Saying that right upfront. I want the various series to be on the most important missions or get thrown into unusual circumstances.
It's part of why I don't watch Lower Decks. I'm not saying I think it's bad. I thought what I saw was mildly amusing, but it wasn't enough to keep me. An entire show about the "little people" on a ship that doesn't stand out just isn't to my tastes. And it's not laugh-out-loud enough as a comedy.

Possibly. Though, it could be done, just like a Jedi series were they don't use their lightsaber.
