I’m hoping Academy will be better than I expect, but I don’t disagree with this analysis (stipulating that I’ve yet to watch any of Prodigy). I think most of the high regard for SNW is a result of how dismal DIS and PIC were. I enjoy it, but it’s pretty shallow in comparison with any of the older series. Style over substance, as a rule.

I don’t have high hopes for Academy, it’s basically a Discovery spin-off.
