The two part finale is yet to be rated, but people who've seen it say it's great.
First eight episodes are all 8.0-9.1. The other top New Trek seasons all have 7.x ratings.
Episodic Star Trek is alway going to have a wider range.

Mandalorian is #3, Picard #9.
‘Picard’ Becomes First Star Trek Series To Break Into Streaming Top 10 Ranking

This is a Star Trek first for Nielsen which started charting streaming content in 2021. As noted above, this chart covers mid-March, around the release of the fourth episode of Picard season 3. Nielsen’s streaming charts take around a month to be released. This indicates that the Picard audience is growing during season 3 and so the show could start showing up more in the coming weeks.
Of the 30 episodes, all of S3 are in the top 12. The other 2 are S1 Nepenthe and Rememberance. Top 2 are the two-part finale.

It was a fantastic season with one of the strongest Trek finales (though still not quite as good as All Good Things). I want some time to settle in and maybe a rewatch, but I thought Picard season 3 was in strong contention for the best single season of Star Trek ever.
shareSeason 3 had five episodes with an IMDB rating of 9.0 or higher. I don't think any previous single season of Star Trek had more than two episodes with a 9.0 or more, and most those were in 20 to 26 episode seasons. Hell, not even The Expanse, the best sci-fi show of the last 15 years, had a season with that many 9.0 or higher rated episodes.
Take into account that season 2 of Picard had seven episodes rated below a 7.0 and I wonder if this is the highest jump in average IMDB rating in consecutive TV seasons ever.
If voters were allowed to give a rating for each individual season of TV on IMDB, my guess is this is how each individual season of Picard would fare:
Season 1 - 7.6
Season 2 - 6.5
Season 3 - 9.0
