    Orville is a return to the ST:TNG formula that made Picard and Riker so famous and much loved.

    I actually like Seth and Adriana as CiC and FO. They play off each other without seeming disingenuous.

    A better star trek than anything released in the 2010s onward. I’m not even kidding, they handled many more current sociopolitical issues and with far more wit and a frankly shocking amount of tact considering its a Seth McFarlane comedy.

      I completely agree. The Orville is a fantastic show that really captures that TNG feeling while still being its own thing through humor.

        They did have arcs, but more in that way older star trek did where you get a blurb about it during the rest of the episodes self contained content then a dedicated episode at the beginnings and ends of the season with 1-2 dedicated episodes somewhere in the middle. Well balanced for multiple watch styles.
