So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows.”

    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!
