I've been binging on Star Trek since I got the Paramount+ subscription. Overall, I'm not liking nu-Trek.
I tried with this show. It looks fantastic....but it doesn't look/feel very Trek to me. I think I switched off about 20 minutes in, about the time the characters find the Federation ship.
What are your thoughts about the show?

The pilot is not the best example of the series; I felt the exact same way when I saw it...it felt more "Star Wars" than Star Trek. Trust me. It gets MUCH better.

I didn't want to write that in the original post but I'm happy someone else mentioned it. The main character felt way too 'Ezra' for me.

But I stuck with it, and it REALLY changes... fast.

The Last 3 episodes of the season get really good. Especially those that like classic late 24th century starships...wow...those advanced 24th century starships I thought were cool when I was younger...are now classics....Gosh I'm Old...

I created a Prodigy S1 thread here and 'ported my thoughts over from OmegaSector.

Well.....dang!!! This show is something. It really has Trek at heart and it is overall fun. I still don't like the main character Dal. He feels too much of an Ezra ripoff. I am sure they're doing an 'Ahsoka'. Starting off as immature and annoying and then slowly make him more intelligent, wise, etc...similar to Ezra now that I think of it.
I'm at ep 14 so just a handful more to go.
This does feel like a VOY redemption series if that makes sense and it works better by just having Janeway and once in a while Chakotay. The only other character worth a damn on that series was the Doctor and I'm expecting him to show up any day.

I'd have to add Seven to that list as well, but she's got PIC, so Jeri Ryan is well taken care of.

It just feels “right” to me, like the writers get Star Trek. They’ve grounded it in established lore, but are still creating something new. I’m actually behind you - I haven’t watched the final ten eps of S1 yet!

She was too oversexualized for my tastes. That catsuit was ridiculous. Barbie Trek. Not a dig at the actress but the character and TPTB that thought it was a good idea. Then again, the character did save the show....oh well.
