I watched the first episode on YouTube and there were a few Easter Egg
videos recommended. They're fan made and reward obsessive knowledge. The
one I watched was useful for recalling plot points from Nemesis and showing
how they continue in Picard. But there was too much speculation about how
much you can draw from some set design details.

I wouldn't make the choice of quick cut martial arts for interpersonal
unarmed violence relevant to the quality of a show or movie. It's certainly
no worse than the haymaker punches thrown in the movies and TV we grew up
on and it's immediately familiar to younger audiences who grew up with it
in video games, TV, and movies.
