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.
Try watching an episode in the second or third series. I'm not keen on Seth either but seems like the "Sethisms" toned down as the show progressed
I get the feeling that he was forced to include Family Guy style jokes in the first series and was allowed to ease up after it was clear that they weren't working.

With the exception of that early episode explaining humour to the android character and the engineer wakes up with his leg cut off. That was pretty funny.That episode is still one of the most funny things ever and I will die on this hill
Man I totally forgot about that, that was fucking amazing! Love that show
And what happens when you're not keen on Seth or being preached at by someone who doesn't actually get the social arguments even if his heart seems to be in the right place?
