The creators of 'Star Trek: Prodigy,' Kevin and Dan Hageman think that getting their show on Netflix is a dream come true. Here's why and what's next for Season 2.
Most long time fans who’ve seen the entire first season describe it as the most ‘Trek’ of the new eras of shows.
It starts out intentionally in a location outside the Federation that is tonally more like SW, and with characters that either don’t know or are hostile to the Federation. It meets new viewers where they are and then brings them into the fold.
By the middle of the first season it’s celebrating everything that’s great about the franchise.
Did you watch more than a handful of episodes?

I watched like half the season before I couldn’t anymore. It was more Star Wars than Star Trek.
Uhm, would that be 5/10 episodes of the first half of season one (which has two x 10 episodes)?
Most fans view S1E6 ‘Kobayashi’ as the episode where the balance flips to be more Star Trek as it pulls new viewers in.
Ok I’m willing to give it another try. But the whole thing just looked like a children’s show…
It’s one of those good children’s shows that’s been written with the understanding that parents will watch with their kids.
