CBS ALL ACCESS The Orville

As I just opened STD thread. Here's Seth McFarlane's The Orville, which by many accounts even though humorous has more Star Trek than STD.

I like it for trying to be the real modern Star Trek but they have to pretend to be OTT humorous even tho, obviously, they'd prefer to make a serious show like TOS and TNG. This strugle was very prominent in the first season. Didn't check the new one yet.

I stopped watching this after a couple episodes during the first season. You could really tell that it didn’t know what kind of show it wanted to be then.

Season 2 of The Orville dialed the humor down a notch and the story teling is much better. There's an old saying about a show that survives its first 5 episodes is usually freer to do what it wants because the studio suits stop watching after that. The Orville has smoothed over some rough edges and even done some really dark messed up stuff.
