Star Trek: Starfleet Academy S01E01 and S01E02 discussion

Pleasantly surprised, especially since it's coming out after the disappointing third season of SNW and set in the far future time period from Discovery.

It feels like a live action Prodigy, which should be taken as a compliment. The captain is that mix of chaos and principle that makes the best Starfleet officers, and the kids are a fun bunch. The in-universe context is a Starfleet in the process of recovering from a time of Adults In The Room and Hard Choices, which is portrayed as having been very bad and not cool.

Also the ship/school is pretty.
