Season 1 was very good, perhaps a parody of Star Trek, but in my mind much more of an homage. I felt that I should come by after watching the first episode of Season 2, because The Orville's writers truly nailed it with the premiere.

I felt that I should come by after watching the first episode of Season 2, because The Orville's writers truly nailed it with the premiere. Excellent humor, a touch of nostalgia, but even more than those things they've really put in the work to focus on character development. It's rare for me to say this but I really like every single one of the characters in this cast. We retain a bit of Seth's silliness with the Ja'loja ceremony (but why not? he's an alien!) and the spying on his ex... but both were funny and not drawn out. Based on how the characters are all gelling together, I can see this show really coming into its own rather than just being a parody or an homage. It will stay both, for sure, but this can also very easily develop into a beloved and long-running sci-fi show with its own unique universe.… Expand

I love the show this season. Its found its footing and knows what it is. Its a great morality sci-fi show with some fun comedy! If you love classic or next gen Trek then you will love this show.

This show is absolute genius! I love it, its wonderfully original, inventive, funny and perfectly captures the upbeat positive spirit of the old Star Trek TV shows. The humour is spot on and the stories so far have been hugely original. I haven't seen anything like it before and am lookingThis show is absolute genius! I love it, its wonderfully original, inventive, funny and perfectly captures the upbeat positive spirit of the old Star Trek TV shows. The humour is spot on and the stories so far have been hugely original. I haven't seen anything like it before and am looking forward to future seasons. Seth McFarlane has really done well with this show. The actors are all also great and work really well together. Its my favourite show at the moment.… Expand

This is one of the best sci-fi show out there and closest to the old Star Trek shows we probably will get in TV for a while. If you liked Star Trek before 2009, you will most likely find that you like this show for very similar reasons. It has great cast of likable characters. The storiesThis is one of the best sci-fi show out there and closest to the old Star Trek shows we probably will get in TV for a while. If you liked Star Trek before 2009, you will most likely find that you like this show for very similar reasons. It has great cast of likable characters. The stories are interesting and typically end up in an uplifting note just like the old Trek used to. The humor has been toned down a lot from the early season 1 and is also better thought out. I would recommend giving this at least a chance, especially, if you are fan of old Trek.… Expand

The two-episode "Identity" arc is simply incredible. This series just keeps getting better and better.
The visual effects are vastly improved from season 1 and so is storytelling. Compelling characters, convincing sci-fi.

The dopey over-the-top nerd and risqué humor is bettered by the finer subtler near stealth jokes along with freshly spun takes on old familiar stories that make this Star Trek spoof (liberally stealing from Star Wars and others as well) a taste worth acquiring for those so predisposed.

The show that's so bad even the Metacritic critics won't grade it. It has a 0 score from 0 critics.

The show made a noticeable attempt to find out what it is and still came up with a season premiere about pee jokes. This is one of the worst sci-fi series ever made...ever!
