Picard S1 was quite a bit darker than other Trek. Pointless death in just about every episode, even an on-screen eye pull moment.

I love Star Trek old and new, but I sincerely hope the writers who killed off Hugh and Icheb are never allowed near the franchise again.

    Honestly, the eye gouging didn't hit me all that hard. I'll have to do a rewatch someday and see how I feel. But sure, if it were 2020 I wouldn't really bother arguing against the "gritty" description. Looking back at this point, only about 10% of the Kurtzman era had that kind of tone.
