Science Fiction

Actually I think much like Strange New Worlds, I think that it showed me how much of the recent issues I have with Star Trek is that it takes itself too seriously. (In fact also as for Star Wars, as blasphemous it is to mention here)

It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it a lot. Didn't think I would but it's much better than Picard, such a boring show.

I stopped after watching a few episodes. I guess it just wasn’t for me. Most people I know like it though.

Best modern Star Trek show.

By "modern Star Trek" I mean every show from Discovery to Strange New Worlds.

Excellent show. It took a little bit to get it's tone, but half way through the first season it really hit its stride.

The third season of the show is some of the best sci-fi ever made with political and social commentary that rivals things like ST:TNG's "Measure of a Man" and ST:DS9's "Siege of AR-558", but with a good mix of humor similar to ST:LD.

If you haven't watched Orville, you're missing out on some absolutely fantastic Sci-Fi. I'm only sad it's unlikely to get a fourth season, because it deserves it.

I hated the pilot, never went back

I like it, want more seasons to come out. Now that I finished the Orville, I need to go back and finish Farscape

I thought it would be a parody show at first but its good casual sci-fi entertainment. I liked the first two seasons better than S3.

The pure silliness is just too much for me. I know they are trying to hide something good under there, I can see glimpses of it, but I just can't get past the constant childish humor.

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.

Recently binged the whole thing. Loved every minute.

That the first season/part of first season was awkward qualified it as part of the Star Trek tradition, they all stumbled around to figure out what they were doing at first. I would say that it is Star Trek just as much as Galaxy Quest is a Star Trek movie, and perhaps that's the issue with some not liking it fully...it's a parody/alternate take of the idea carried out a bit too long, whereas Galaxy Quest was the perfect amount.

As a Star Trek fan since the 70s, I can say that all versions have their highs and lows, there isn't a perfect one. And from the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC (Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations), this is how it should be. The more the better, even some of Discovery. I think the idea of Discovery was great, it just wasn't implemented well, but again, I could point out other Star Trek that shared that.

It was fine. Had a lot of good parts and interesting plots. Also was completely cringy and stupid in plot decisions at times. I'd watch another season if it came out, but Seth Macfarlane can't act his way into a middle school play. His heart-to-heart scenes are painfully awful.

I liked it, it is pretty star trek the next generation(which i love) though sometimes it gets really up its own ass. I like more philosophical/ethical subject episodes than constant interpersonal relationship episodes.

I like it! It's a nice casual space show with a decent mix of humor and seriousness.

I find it to be more "star trek" than some of the new star trek shows.

This show is very profound to me. It explores important issues, timeless and topical moral questions, and social/political dilemmas with such depth and thoughtful consideration. I really hope it gets a fourth season

Like others said, the humor started out really awkward and forced, but I feel like they hit their stride by season 2

I don't think it'll ever go down in the annals of the greatest scifi shows I history. But as you say, it's a really excellent "comfy" show

I like it, enjoy it for the most part and am glad it exists. But the politics comes off a bit weak and tips sometimes too far towards the self-congratulatory ethno-centrism of bad early 20th century anthropology.

It's better Trek than most Trek, IMO. Had some cool adventures and raised some interesting on sometimes difficult questions about morality and how it's shaped by our societies.
