‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Is the Perfect Show for Trekkies — Now They Need to Watch It
"Star Trek: Prodigy" embodies everything a good "Trek" show should be. So watch it on Netflix or it will be lost forever.
After all, “Star Trek: Discovery” was already airing its second season (which clearly set up the phenomenal spinoff “Strange New Worlds), and “Picard” had already been announced, as had the adult animated series “Lower Decks.” How could a show clearly intended for kids measure up against all of that? This show, about a group of young misfits who stumble across a Starfleet ship and use it to escape their captivity on a desolate prison colony, embodied absolutely everything that I love about “Star Trek.” It could be because the show is able to blaze its own path while also incorporating memorable parts of “Trek’s” past into the storytelling: The return of Kate Mulgrew as Janeway, the use of archival voice recordings to bring back characters like Odo and Spock in the Season 1 episode “Kobayashi,” or even a little encounter with the Borg.
