      Exactly, Prodigy was a surprise gem and is at the bottom of the list of current Star Trek shows that should’ve been canceled.

      • Discovery is an awful, manic, canon-wrecking mess and needs to go.
      • Strange New Worlds inherits most of that awfulness, is incredibly overrated, and also needs to go.
      • Picard was shaky but the final season finally delivered, thank the gods.
      • Lower Decks is well-written, nuanced, a good citizen of canon, and just wonderful.
      • Prodigy is well-written, nuanced, a good citizen of canon, and just wonderful.

      But the popular narrative is all over the place. People hate Discovery but love Strange New Worlds despite them being almost identical. People love Lower Decks and are tepid about Prodigy despite them having a very similar tone.

      At least most people seem to agree on Picard now.
