< the beginnings of a personal manifesto?
It is very much a kids' show, and that's something to take into account. People have called it the "Clone Wars" of Star Trek, and I think that's accurate. It takes a group of non-human teenagers from a grungy crapsack society and shows them what the Federation is and stands for, without any interaction from any Federation citizens except a hologram of Captain Janeway.
It actually works very well, but I also have to say I have kids, and watch a lot of (the best-regarded) animated kids' shows with them. If you have liked things like Avatar: the Last Airbender, The Dragon Prince, or She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, you would also probably like Prodigy. If you can't stand animated kids' shows at all, then no, you should skip it.
No no, you just listed shows I adore (and btw, check out Owl House too if you haven't!) -- okay I'll give it a whirl
