What are they going to do if season one flops?

“Prodigy” has demonstrated that they’re willing to cancel something they gave an early renewal to.

being alive to see the controversy first hand when they first redid the klingons after the first movie and again after discovery has taught me to smile at fan controversies. lol

I also couldn’t really get into it.

I can understand the appeal, but it wasn’t really for me.

One day I’ll definitely finish watching it

How far did you actually get into Prodigy?

Hopefully nothing because every first season of a new ST series is a flop.

Strange New Worlds season one was excellent

That’s true it was excellent and an outlier for the franchise.

I agree. DS9 season one honestly wasn’t too bad (obviously not SNW season 1 caliber), though mainly because it didn’t have a weird blackface episode.

Being a direct spin-off of Discovery helped.

Honestly, in most cases, studios should just guarantee 3 seasons because that’s how long it takes to really find if a show will actually get any sort of following.

To be honest, I feel like streamers keep trying to gun for a The Office or Last Airbender level hit, but don’t realize that those shows wouldn’t have survived today under the current metric by which they evaluate a show’s success. They ignore the whole point of streaming: a show should have more time to find success - potential fans will get to it when they get to it.
