[ NOTES ]

This show reminds me of Jurassic Park: Camp Cretacious. I was expecting for Prodigy to be a stupid "kidified" version of Star Trek, but it's actually really good. I found myself enjoying it far more than I thought I would. It's a good show for both kids and adults.

Star Trek: Prodigy: Season 1, Volume 1 is available on Blu-ray and DVD. The remaining 10 episodes of the season were released in late 2022, so expect for Season 1, Volume 2 to be released later this year.
