First of all I’m a really GREAT fan of The Orville :) But start of this episode looked strangely familiar, then i remember it. Black mirror, season 3 episode 1 - Nosedive :)

Anyone seen that?

@juratfo You nailed it. Total Black Mirror ripoff except with worse acting.

@jdshkolnik Oooow :( I will not say it was acted that bad... As i told above i do love The Orville so i kinda adopted characters and they way of acting :)

@juratfo Yeah, it's a very similar premise, but they took it in a different direction. If one thing avoided a topic just because another thing already covered it, we wouldn't have anything new.

Besides, The Simpsons Already Did It. https://trakt.tv/shows/south-park/seasons/6/episodes/7

@bevansdesign well said and community did it before Black Mirror too. Some people get triggered by the strangest things.

@juratfo yep... got some good black mirror vibes from this...not complaining though.. :)

@juratfo given the orville was released only about a year later they likely had no idea that Black Mirror was doing a similar premise while they were developing and filming this episode. Not really worth pulling it once it's produced.
