It is not in my wheelhouse either but what one has to give it that despite being a kids show it is actually “really” Star Trek.
What I mean by that is if you look at the Star Wars kids series in contrast, its a series with interchangable stories, very simple kids stuff. Could be Star Wars, could be something else. Honestly, if you take away the lightsabres, you would not know its Star Wars until you see Yoda. They do display themes like its good to help each other, but honestly what other kids show does not do that?
Prodigy on the other hand does it better since it actually introduces the Federation and its ideals, the protagonists are also exploring the planets they come by. Overall it feels quite like a real Star Trek show but of course still at the level of kids shows.
