Star Trek: Picard

[Mando Knight]

The fact is that Discovery's first season was enough of a failure that Paramount/Bad Robot had to sell their second season

The same Paramount and Bad Robot that are not directly credited anywhere for producing Picard or Discovery?

STD didn't bring nearly as many viewers to CBS All-Access as they hoped,

CBS reached their 8 million direct-to-consumer subscriptions goal (split between All Access and Showtime) almost two years ahead of schedule, by 2018 Q4. In their 2019 Q1 report, they further claim that subscriptions are up 71% over last year.

You don't have valid sources, your understanding of the basic facts of the shows' production is demonstrably incorrect, and CBS is publicly making the exact opposite claims and movements one would expect if the show and subscription service were deemed failures.
