Your reaction to Prodigy seems to be very common. Spread the word!
It’s unfortunate that many franchise fans let themselves be put off by the kids/family branding, animation or the fact that it starts out in a place and situation that feels more like another franchise in order to draw new audiences in.
That does mean though that it has room to grow. Prospective buyers are taking note of the numbers of new viewers even since it was pulled from Paramount+.
