Just finished season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy--it is absolutely criminal that Paramount (or CBS or whoever) cancelled it (lemmy.world)

That show was already great and season 2 delivered and then some. Sure at points it feels kinda star wars-y but you can tell the creators really love Star Trek. The fact it was so unceremoniously cancelled then dumped really shows how out of touch studio executives are with the IP’s they own. Especially considering how god awful the final season of Discovery was (l mostly liked that show but Season 5 really leaned into every weak point of the series and jacked it up to 11).

Anyway, I am annoyed we’ll likely never get a 3rd season of Prodigy—and even if we do it likely will lose the lightning they caught with the first two seasons. If y’all have been sleeping on it, please check it out.

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.
