From technical aspect LD&R has always been astounding and this season, that is still the case.
But none of the stories stood out this season.
Well, the quality on this season didn't stay consistent all the way through, but I think overall this was a good season. I was a bit afraid with all the hype, but the first episodes sparked my interest immediately, and I'm glad the story managed to give even more than what the premise led me to expect.
To me the execution just wasn't quite as good as it could have been. The season had some good high points, tense and emotional episodes, but besides, there were some plot holes here and there, some mediocre acting, and it was also fairly slow-paced and dumb at times.
However, I mostly liked this and hope there will be a second season. I'd say this season didn't set the bar too high for the next one to be even better, and I'm really looking forward to what they have to offer.
What a surprising delight.
I binge watched during sick leave - and it was perfect brainles, light hearted positive tv that is needed in that kind of situation.
Finally a season that fullfills all the potential and is on par with what I've been hearing about this show. The underwater episode and the abortion one are amazing but almost everything is top notch.
They do it once again - the last episode is the best one, like in the first season. To be honest I thought that the second season will be just a pale copy of the first one. There is no way to enter the same river twice. But... They have managed to add something new and have found another topic to address in the show.
A very disappointing season for one of my all-time favorite shows. Perhaps TJ Miller was the glue that held it all together, as without him this show just doesn't have its usual magic and good flavor.
It's an awkward one. On the one hand, this was an absolutely necessary story to tell. On the other, it went on for far too long.
Could easily have told the same story over, say, 9 or 10 episodes and have the last three dealing with the aftermath of Playland with some other threat such as a corrupted Trish/Hellcat taking the true big bad status and resolving Jessica/Trish before the season ended by having Jessica forced to save Trish from herself or something and becoming the true team they should be. Instead that's obviously going to be stretched out over 13 episodes as well and will probably suffer the same fate.
As other people have stated, Jeri's storyline was actually the most compelling. It was also the most inconsequential. Literally at no point does Jeri's plot have any affect on the main plot. Of course Kilgrave returned the way that most of us expected to but even as mental demons he's still the most magnetic presence on the show.
Honestly, this show is more Trek than the current ("Discovery") and previous ("Enterprise") Treks. Yes, some unfunny jokes here and there, but all in all -- it's a Star Trek show (specifically - TNG). Last few episodes (4-5-6 could have been easily TNG episodes).
Star Trek viewers needs a ton of Suspension of Disbelief, with all the aliens and spaceships and transporters etc., but in The Orville - this SOD is harder to swallow, because of the... let's call it... casualness... of the show - which kinda makes it harder to actually implement this necessary suspension of disbelief.
Considering the current Trek show, I am just left wondering why they just don't give Seth McFarlane write a proper Star Trek show. He is clearly up to the task, and Trekkies (sorry, Trekkers) deserve a good Star Trek show.
A MASSIVE improvement over a so-so first season, Daredevil never reaches the heights of Jessica Jones, but now stands as one of the strongest current shows. There are quite a few parallels to the later seasons of Arrow in plot and style, but Daredevil deals with the same issues much, much more skillfully. The new characters are welcome additions and incredibly well defined, with layered personalities and backstories. More of this, please!
