The Orville (2017–2022)
10/10
REAL science fiction! This is what Star Trek should have been!
1 March 2019
Amusing, entertaining, gripping, eye catching, series that knows how to handle morality, ethics, questions of the political and the historical. This show conquers it all. Not only is it graphically stunning, and amusing, but it's written well! The acting is amazing. The chemistry between characters and how they interact makes this show a pleasure to watch. Star Trek Discovery has zero chemistry. All its characters are hollow shells, poorly acted (except Pike, he was a damn good actor, but the only one on ST:D, if truth be told).

Seth MacFarlane shall forever be known as the man who did Star Trek justice, when CBS couldn't. Unbelievably amazing series. It starts out a bit weaker, with a lot of toilet humor early on. But as of Season 2 Episode 9, which I saw last night, THIS SHOW HAS MATURED! You remember how TNG took a while to get off its feet? Well, The Orville was good from the start... really good... BUT it got a LOT better the more I watched! If you like Science Fiction, watch this, and don't waste your time on garbage like Star Trek Discovery.

I witnessed one of the absolute best space combat scenes I have ever seen in science fiction, IN THE ORVILLE, and I've seen a lot over the years. Seth MacFarlane clearly wants to prove he isn't just a joke. He's a damn genius. He also makes a highly amusing captain!
