Star Trek: Prodigy sets up a fun story that’s only somewhat connected to the greater canon of the Trek franchise, but with the addition of Mulgrew, makes the show accessible to newcomers and Trek fans alike.
There’s potential here, albeit of a moderate sort—the character banter, with an ensemble featuring not just one but four different versions of comic relief, is passable, and John Noble could (and maybe is) do this kind of role in his sleep. The series is aimed at children, but in a cheery all-ages kind of way that avoids insulting its audience even if it never quite manages to impress them.

Great visuals, fun characters for kids. I love the spirit of found family in these ragamuffin alien teens as they search for a new life with Starfleet.

SEASON 1
My favorite Star Trek was the Berman era with TNG, DS9 and Voyager. This series is just starting, but shows clear reverence for the themes of its predecessors. The art design is gorgeous, and while it looks a little like Star Wars at first, that goes away quickly. Beautiful series. Love that Janeway appears again!

SEASON 1
The double-sized premiere of Prodigy seems to be entirely in its own lane, refreshingly unconcerned with previous Star Trek series until two minutes before the closing credits.
“Prodigy” grows “Trek”-ier in episode two once the teens steal the Protostar and get to know their hologram adviser, Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew, voicing the character she created on “Star Trek: Voyager”). Janeway means nothing to this show’s target audience but her presence might make some parents smile.
While it's understandable why Paramount would want to expand the footprint to attract a younger audience, the search for synergy has come at the expense of prized commodity in "Trek" lore -- namely, logic. And in terms of showing abilities beyond its years, a prodigy this isn't.
One of the two best Star Trek shows currently on the air, and they are both animated. Kids love it, older Trek fans like me also get a kick out of it, and it truly embraces the spirit of the Federation. Star Trek: Prodigy is a winner, and as Hologram Janeway shows them the ropes I think this will quickly grow to be a fan favorite.

Brilliant **** is a fresh touch while we wait for the new series to air...I love the rock person with the kid's voice ..reminds me of Korg in Ragnarock

SEASON 1
Top notch animated style, a little reminiscent of Clone Wars (in a good way), but pretty clear this is going in a different direction. Lots of little nods to old school Star Trek (like a Medusan character from TOS) as well as hints at what's to come with Janeway in the future after Voyager. Live long and prosper, the kids will be all right.

SEASON 1
I made an account just so I could leave this review. What an appalling piece of garbage and an absolute slog it was to wade through this show. I tried to like it, I really did, but it just failed to hit any mark. This show felt like a bootleg Pixar studio tried to make their own Star Wars show. And that's right, I said Star Wars, because this does NOT feel like the Star Trek I known. You can call me jaded and nostalgic all you want and not take my review seriously, but trust me when I say that this steaming pile of a nightmare does NOT represent Star Trek one bit. How can a show miss the target this badly?!
