    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 theSeason 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. 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. Full Review »

    It's the Star Trek show we all wanted but unfortunately never got from CBS in this decade. Sure it can be cheesy sometimes and some jokes areIt's the Star Trek show we all wanted but unfortunately never got from CBS in this decade. Sure it can be cheesy sometimes and some jokes are a bit flat, but it tells great stories and reminds you of why you loved TNG.
    Really great show

    The first episode of Season 2 had me constantly rolling around on the floor laughing. This is Feel Good TV at its very, very best.

This is the best Star Trek series around at the moment bar none. Full Review »
