I'll watch it, but I'm already skeptical because it's set in the 32nd century. That's like setting Star Wars stuff in the Sequels Era (don't do it).

MODERATORS
Couldn't agree less - I think the 32nd century is a fantastic setting, especially for a show like this.
I do have to agree. The setting may be the best part of later seasons of DISCO, even if they (in my personal opinion) frequently squandered it.
Like, I felt like they didn’t need to make up the DMA - they had practically seasons worth of material written for them just from the inherent realities of the setting.
And honestly, my sourness with the 32nd century is sourness with Disco. It remains the only Trek series I haven't seen every single episode of.
So I'll give Academy a chance.
I take this with a grain of salt, in part because of this past headline: Robert Picardo Says The Doctor Isn’t Just Comic Relief In ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Season 2
Which isn’t to say I hated him in Prodigy. Rather, I wonder if by “deeper”, it means he’ll be absolutely ridiculous, just rambling about opera and holonovels all the time, and the writing won’t be all dark and brooding on this show.
