I've watched some of the Orville season 1 and I can't believe that claim. What season does it get good?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Season 1 is wildly uneven. Some episodes are a TV-14 Seth McFarland raunchy comedy in space and others are Star Trek, but with real people. If you don't enjoy the (admittedly purile) sense of humor, The Orville probably isn't for you. The show never completely abandons that tone even as it explores more classic Trek style writing.

There are some episodes though, like S01E08 which are played almost totally straight and those are the ones that feel the most like a TNG revival to me.

1.04-end of S1 (with the exception of Cupid's Dagger) are rock fucking solid. I remember when it first aired, first three eps, eh it's something to watch on a boring shift ....then If the stars should appear, pria, krill. GODDAMN at that point I was salivating for the next ep and it did not disappoint. I absolutely adore the concept of New Dimensions as well.

If i had to do an intro ep: Krill.

Starts with the crew getting a bridge officer to eat a cactus, ends on a damning note about the cycle of hate
