I think Picard S2 was helped by the fact that the series-long arch was much 
clearer than in S1:

   - The Borg are back
   - Q cocked up the timeline
   - OH SHIT, THE CONFEDERACY!
   - We have a ticking clock to fix things

As for SNW, I was apprehensive given its starting point (specifically, 
Discovery, a/k/a "The Trek with ALL THE FEELS"), but IT'S SO GOOD.
