"The Orville" - new sci-fi show
"The Orville" - new sci-fi show
Just started this week; hubby and I reckoned to give it a view.
Don't expect any seriousness or super hi-tech; seems like a fun, entertaining show; we enjoyed it; nice to view something lighthearted for a change

Coleman (“The Walking Dead,” “The Wire”).
THE ORVILLE is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. The series was created and written by Seth MacFarlane. MacFarlane, Brannon Braga (“Terra Nova”), David A. Goodman (FAMILY GUY), Jason Clark (“Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey,” “Ted”) and Liz Heldens (“Mercy,” “Deception”) serve as executive producers on the series.

I plan on catching this one. I've heard good things.
Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
I like it. It's not over the top humor and mostly Sci-fi at this point and they are doing a good job of it.
Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
We only saw the 1st episode; the following week it wasn't on,~ there was football on instead.

Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
Gotta admit, I'm liking it. But it's starting to get awfully in your face political only a couple episodes in.
Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
We're all caught up now, and still find it entertaining.

Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
I've watched the first six episodes. I'm actually enjoying the stories now. If you ignore the humor, many of the story plots feel like moral conflict stories from Star Trek TOS or Next Gen. Episodes 3, 4 & 5 in particular had a real good old-skool Star Trek vibe. I'm really liking it.

Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
Yeah, I'm completely caught up. I'm currently almost liking it better than Discovery.
Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
It's lighthearted entertainment, ~ we're enjoying it

Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
Nothing earth shattering but entertaining. It feels like they're going to stay more in line with a humorous STTNG vibe this year, and avoid the complete slapstick idiocy of some of their worst first season episodes.
I do love the series but there were a some awful episodes last year like that cringe worthy episode when they were disguised as aliens and snuck onto their ship.

Re: "The Orville" - new sci-fi show
I thought the 1st episode of the 2nd season was very, very tame and not overly silly, - which I kind o' missed,,,
I hope this eve's episode is more middle of the road,,,
