Season 3 is fine but Season 1 will always be the best for me and I'm annoyed we're not following up on any of its plots.

After the past two episodes, I would say yes - let's see if that keeps up for the remaining six.
I will continue to enjoy the first season, however, and sigh that Narek received no ending.
I think it's important to note that in a lot of ways the first four episodes told a coherent story with complete character arcs. Not a full season arc, but a well-constructed Act 1. This is a great indication they're gonna stick the landing IMHO, since we haven't just been jerked around and teased as was the case in some other seasons of modern Trek.
They wisely ditched the bizarre pacing and padding that gravely affected PIC's S2 (and DSCO's S4 to a lesser extent) when it actually fucking felt like 4 episodes' worth of storyline fitted into 4 actual episodes, and not 4 episodes of character/plot development stretched out into 10 episodes.
What I do like is it did move away from the gross overcompensation of "THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE TNG S8!!!!!" that S1 and to a similar degree S2 had going for it.
What the hell was going on with Vadic's hand? Who is her handler?
Will Picard and company survive? Tune in nice time, same Trek time, same Trek channel!We got a band of pirates/mercs lead by Vadic and they're working in concert with a group of rogue Changelings (impersonating everybody from hustlers to Starfleet), but is Vadic a full Changeling herself or a merged/hijacked hybrid? Is her mook crew mercenaries with their own culture (they got their own language) or biomechanical synths akin to the original Jem'Hadar? Who is the asset, Admiral Picard or his illigimate son? Why is Jack Crusher getting a specific ominous vision? How will Worf and Raffi's plot intersect with the crew of the USS Titan, etc?

Tell that to the Mirror Universe.For starters...if the 2020s were altered that drastically from the original timeline, Picard, Seven and all the others shouldn't even exist in this new timeline
Tell that to the Mirror Universe.
Every Trek timeline operates on different rules. This one literally is "a wizard did it" type logic. So, yeah, of the issues I have with Season 2, this is far, far below on the list, and the time travel aspect has been done in multiple different ways.The Mirror Universe is really it's own thing. There may be an explanation for it someday.
What we got in Picard S2 was an altered timeline that had to be corrected. Yesterday's Enterprise, City on the Edge of Forever and many others.
If it was a branch timeline like Kelvin-verse, there would be no reason to fix 2021... as the original timeline would still exist
