Prodigy was fun for a kids show.
Comment on Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek

Can we get some Star Trek I can watch with my kids around? I have to stick with classic trek (everything from Enterprise and earlier) as there isn’t an option. Sure Prodigy does exist, but I don’t know if I can get into that show myself.
Rant over…
They can make Section 31 content all they want, I don’t care, just make it good enough to watch. Hell, just take the book series and make a mini series based on those stories.

See like a pass for now, we watched the first episode and there was some interest, but have not been asked for since. Will try again in a few months and see what happens. I personally am curious about the show, but will wait to watch together.

Is strange new worlds really that untenable for kids? Maybe a few eps? But surely not Lower Decks???

A few episodes is nearly half the number of episodes available

SNW and Prodigy both fit the bill, in spite of your vague objection to the latter. Add Lower Decks and the better seasons of DIS (2, 4, 5) when the kids are a bit older.

I started to watch prodigy, the first episode, but wasn’t motivated enough to go beyond a few minutes. I should give it another try, as it’s the only new star trek for the family to watch.
Strange new worlds might work, but due to how dark (lighting) and how real the effects look, this show is still not as family as the original shows.
What I’m looking for is something I know my kids can watch without being a helicopter parent.
It’s hard to really describe, maybe I’m getting old… 👴

Prodigy does start a bit weak, much like TNG and Lower Decks did. The writers find their groove pretty quickly though, and the rest of the series is great!
