Think I worked out why I enjoyed Prodigy season 1

It actually introduced and developed an interesting new species over time. I don't think we've seen that since the Kelpians?

Plus the villains were competent, which is a nice benefit

I understand what you mean, but they couldn't resist the "end of the universe as we know it" trope. That was totally unnecessary in my opinion.
- In Prodigy’s defense, they waited the equivalent of two seasons to play that card, and the execution was IMO, better than what we saw in Picard and Discovery.
  
  That's true, but especially for a show aimed at kids the survival or wellbeing of the crew would have been more than enough. There was absolutely no reason at all to bring up a plan to destroy the whole Starfleet...
