What Are the Critics Saying about Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1?
With an official critics rating of 94% and an average audience score of 72%, Star Trek: Prodigy has been well-received across the viewer spectrum. The stunning animation and the unique storyline involving teenagers have been a hit.
Slashfilm’s Jeff Ewing writes, “It’s great to encourage younger audiences to boldly go themselves, but it also makes it difficult to pin the series’ longevity and its utility beyond franchise newbies. Altogether, still an engaging and gorgeous series.”
Shah Shahid from Comic Years says, “For those who have never heard of Starfleet, (and by extension, Star Trek) it’s a way to discover this world and its intentions of unity and moving forward as a collective than the individual. It’s absolutely amazing!”
