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.

By season 2, I was also hooked to this show. I wish they would make more seasons!

I love the Orville, but the shift in format with the most recent season, to movie length episodes, made it largely inaccessible to me.

Love it. It changed a bit, but still dig it.

I have yet to see this show. Is it on Paramount+? I may have to sub for this and Picard.

I tried to get into it but ultimately it was too campy and borderline cringey (Norm's terribly animated and written blob character) for me.

My initial reaction was that it was likely to be Seth Macfarlane's "Galaxy Quest the TV Parody"...but then I watched it, and then it grew on me. I've grown to like it quite a bit.

It’s a good show and I like it.

It was the best trek on TV since Star Trek Enterprise.

But I now also love Star Trek Strange New Worlds.

Really loved it, after the first couple episodes it felt like Star Trek with average people, without the overhype of modern star trek.
