Its funny when you look at the evolution of Picard.
In year 1 of next generation, he just wasn't good in the role, he was stiff, and cold in the role, and it didn't help that year 1 and 2 they just didn't have a rhythm.
From year 3 to 7 they did a really good job on the series and had a bunch of strong episodes. Stewart was very good in his role as they allowed him to be more human and have failings.
The problem though is as it went along the show basically became the Picard and Data show and everyone else was essentially a cameo on their own show.
Then Stewart decided that he wanted his role to be more action oriented and they went triple of nothing on Picard and Data being the show. This reflected in the horrific movies that kept getting worse and worse, as we got action Picard and Super Solution Data.
If they want to get my faith back the series should start with a flashback to the movies, and then Picard wakes up out of a 10 year coma and realizes that those movies were all a horrible dream. This would shove them out of Canon and the adventures of the Enterprise would have ended with All Good Things.
Then the first scene after that would be him being invited to the roll out of the new Enterprise M or something like that.
