It mostly doesn’t matter except for a couple of linking points:
-
Strange New Worlds effectively directly follows events of Discovery Season 2 with a plot point introduced in season 2 being a bit of a focus of SNW S1
-
It is probably advisable to watch Picard S1 before Discovery S3 and 4 as the first season of Picard introduces lore elements that have relevance.
Yeah when I saw the title I assumed it was going to be about the sheer crassness of the quarantine room scenes.
