The Orville is an American science fiction comedy-drama series created by and starring Seth MacFarlane that premiered on September 10, 2017, with new episodes to air Thursdays on Fox during the 2017–18 season. Seth MacFarlane stars as Ed Mercer, an officer in the Planetary Union's line of exploratory space vessels whose career took a downturn following his divorce, and who is given the titular ship as his first command, only to discover that his ex-wife, Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki), has been assigned to be his First Officer. An homage to the television series Star Trek, the series depicts the interactions of Mercer, Grayson and the crew of the Orville as they embark on various diplomatic and exploratory missions.

And? Your thoughts? I can't take this kind of show seriously!

I can't take this kind of show seriously!

what's exactly how it's meant to be. this one is half parody.

It's a Decent Tv-Show or Parody after Star Trek - dosen't have much of a story- background story or plot story but is not so much required in a parody

I would actually pay someone to NOT to something, to avoid stuff like this.

the missions so far are on the same level as the average episode of past star trek shows. and compared to the new star trek the plots have even more to offer.

and would you also let us know why?

I just checked and it seems watching the show is optional, no one is forced to do it.

i was not so much a Star Trek fun in the era of Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard ,chosed Conan Tv-show when i was little ,insted- but i'm planning to watch the new series tonight -but i can say your description is accurate based from what i know about star trek world until 2017 - Orville is watchable mostly because is light , funny without trying and have the foundation to evolve in a more profund plot - plot wich is focused mostly on relationships between species ,based on each species traditions ,fears ,culture, and so on

incredibly lame show, unfunny and boring, saw only the first episode and that was already enough to give up on the rest

[Instab]

i'm a bit sorry to say this but so far, despite the funny parts, the orville delivers the star trek feeling much better than discovery. the missions are very rich in variety, creative and diverting. they cover all sorts of different aspects while discovery feels like the same episode over and over again with just slight variations.
however there's something both shows have in common: they'll both get a second season

[DarkSaibot v.1.3.10]

funny thing: on discovery if i don't find a good release - half of the show i don't understand - since kligonian has no subs :))

but A man after my own heart overhere

haters gone hate
