If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, Star Trek: Prodigy is available on streaming right now. 2 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. With 192 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Brett Gray anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Star Trek: Prodigy is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Star Trek: Prodigy through its more ambitious moments. A motley crew of young rebellious aliens commandeer an old Starfleet ship and must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search for a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered, but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents. Brett Gray and Ella Purnell lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. The series ran for 2 seasons (2021–2024), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Star Trek: Prodigy is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. If you have already watched Ben 10, Star Trek: Prodigy is a natural next step. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch for Brett Gray in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Star Trek: Prodigy was cancelled in 2024, created by Kevin Hageman and Dan Hageman — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
