gbarrett-39941 Review of Star Trek: Prodigy

Star Trek: Prodigy (2021–2024)

One Of The Best New Star Trek Shows

[8/10 · 27 December 2022]

I don't know what it is, but animation writers just seem better these days. The stories are better. The characters are more well developed and the stakes seem realistic. There is no heavy handed politics or overt agendas. They craft a world that is accessible for everyone. I wish the live action Star Trek shows would follow this blueprint. Also the episodic nature of the show is much better format and gives the Star Trek Original Series vibe. Even though the show is more geared towards younger audiences, unlike ST: Lower Decks, the story is very much engaging and the world building is nice. I am pleased that audiences seem to like it, as it is done very well.
