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
Think I worked out why I enjoyed Prodigy season 1

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…
