Good news. I purchased volume 1, and I'll purchase volume 2. I think Prodigy is fine, but not my cup of tea. However, I can't abide how dirty Paramount+ treated the show, the team, and the fans. To Prodigy fans -- I got your back. To Paramount+ -- sarcastic Vulcan salute.
Not sure releasing a series aimed at children on a medium that was dying before they were born is a great idea.
- It makes slightly more sense than trying to expand Star Trek's appeal by creating a kids show and then putting it on a subscription service that was basically only used by existing Trek fans.
  
  This is exactly what's wrong with the Paramount+ model. The best it can do is produce Star Trek for people who already like Star Trek - there's not enough other content on P+ otherwise for anyone to pay for a subscription. Without Star Trek available on mainstream TV or major streamers like Netflix or Prime, so that people can stumble across it or dip their toes in without needing to sign up to a whole other streaming service, it's hard to see how the franchise wins over new generations of fans.
  So best case, if P+ is the future of Star Trek, then the future of Star Trek has an expiry date.
I wish this had stayed exclusively a Nickelodeon-venture instead of getting gobbled up by Paramout Plus and dropped the second the market gets tough
- It sounds like it was Nickelodeon that needed to bail first.
  
  Huh? Everything I'd heard was theat it was P+ that was dissatisfied for w/e reason. I have to imagine if Nick had been the primary one calling the shots they'd at least have wanted to keep it for their lineup
