It really is! I was a huge Star Trek fan going back to the original series, the first movies - saw Wrath of Khan in the theater like 3 times when I was 13.
The Next Generation series more or less spanned my A&M years, and I enjoyed DS9 and Voyager as well.
When the reboot came out with Chris Pine, etc, I was SUPER pissed that it essentially rewrote all the canonical Star Trek lore that I'd grown up with. Never watched any of those sequels.
All this is to say that the Picard series feels like the natural evolution and continuation of the Star Trek I know.
Don't know about the original series, but TNG, DS9, and VOY are basically shows about highly efficient committee meetings where all the participants are contributing professionals.
It's basically showing the pinnacle of human bureaucracy, not science and exploration IMO. The West Wing in space basically, or vice versa.
Discovery was a disaster overall though it had it's moments. SNW and Picard season 3 is more coming back to that formula.
Can't wait to see what's got into Jack lately and literally, tonight.
