Halfway through and I’m enjoying it immensely. I’m in my middle age years so don’t tell me this show is for kids. Trek fans shouldn’t miss this series.
Its just so damn good.
56 here, I discovered and was blasting through first season last Summer when I realized that was the only season so far so I started pacing myself... and then all the crap came down about it being cancelled and I was flabbergasted. I mean yeah it's an animated series, that doesn't mean it's ONLY for children. Hell look at how many animated shows Star Wars has and I would never expect something "Bad Batch" to be marketed as a kids show. Prodigy feels more like DS9 to me, showing the really dark side of the Federation and things that slip through the cracks, it's not the typical show where everything gets wrapped up in the last five minutes and you move on to the next episode, and I really love that. Hopefully it will get picked up for more seasons but meanwhile I'm taking my time going through the episodes.
This is what I needed to hear actually, I haven't checked it out but I've also heard nothing but praise so maybe it's time!
The plot is surprisingly complex for what is cast as a “kids show” or “Trek for newbs”. Don’t watch it unless you have seen at least some of the Voyager series. The plot from S1 ties right into S2. I had a moment in S2E6 (or thereabouts) where my emotions got trigger when Janeway makes a tough choice.
The show works.
