I think everyone was upset at the death of Hugh, and kudos to Jonathan Del Arco and the writers for making us care about a character who appeared only a handful of times across two series.
What made it particularly jarring, was that we saw him being threatened, then were told he can't be killed due to his protected status as a Federation citizen. It felt like he was safe, and then suddenly he wasn't.
We already had two characters barely holding it together over their dead son (some brilliantly subtle acting there as well), did we really need Hugh thrown into the mix? My heart can only take so much!
Ultimately, while I'm not a fan of shows killing off great characters, I'm mostly okay with it. He was a minor character, albeit with some major impact across both shows, and he got a full story arc. If you're going to kill a character for dramatic effect, a minor supporting one is the way to go. Viewing it with hindsight, seeing how good Del Arco was, it's easy to see why people are upset at the decision, but I'm not surprised they went that route.

Earlier in the season they hinted that the Tal Shiar and Starfleet Intelligence worked together to stop synths. I think Commodore Oh is a Vulcan and probably part of Section 31. After seeing Dr Jurati’s visions during the mind meld, I’m even more convinced of a Discovery tie in.

I was wrong, but it’s weird that Discovery S2 and Picard have the same theme; that A.I. Is bad and will lead to the destruction of your society.

Q's son was friends with Icheb. Any chance of bringing him back?
Probably not, but a girl can dream.

I was right, Comodore Oh is a Romulan.
Well half anyway, which explains how she was able to mind meld.

By the way, did anyone else note that Rios's engineering hologram had a Scottish accent? Bit of an Easter egg there.

It wasn't an egg it was an entire basket

Yep, that was a nice touch but too obvious to classify as an easter egg.
The veridium tracker fits the category.
Regarding Q, he book ended the original series so I wouldn't be surprised to see him closer to the end of this series.

Not Picard related, but
