Your thoughts on The Orville?
(lemmy.world)
When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by season 2 I found myself loving this show.
To me it seems as every bit as comfy, intellectually interesting and even funny as some classic Star Treks while still clearly being its own thing. I wish more comfy space shows like this would get made.
What are your thoughts on The Orville? Also I miss Alara.
I just couldn't make it myself like it. Granted, I only watched the first couple episodes but it felt just too stretched for me.
Episode 1 & 2 are so rough me and my SO almost dropped it but after making it through to episode 3 we were hooked enough to practically binge watch all the way through the end of season 2 (where we're at currently).
Just watch episode 3 and see what you think at that point. I know it's cliché to say things like this but it really does pick up massively at that point. Season 2 especially is some of the most compelling TV I've watched.
