Another great show people rated bad here before they even saw it... There's some Legends of Tomorrow similarities where it's about chasing a bad guy through time.
However, I'm hooked anyway due to good cast and performances. The show is fun as well.
Seems like they tried to be like 'The Boys' but ended up more like a CW show with their shit CGI and cliche stories/characters.
Netflix is really going for the quantity over quality method nowadays. And there is bound to be a few duds in there. Unfortunately this is one of them for me.
EDIT Just finished it. The flashback scenes are so much more interesting than the modern.
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.
The episode list is correct according to what Antena 3 aired, one season with tow parts (9 and then 6 episodes). The thing is the episodes were about 60 min long and Netflix decided to aired episodes of 45 minutes long more a less. So the thing is that the first season on Netflix (13 episodes) correspond to the first 9 episodes of the real series.
This TV Show is becoming a real piece of shit with incoherent story just to keep the thing running ... Emotions are not there anymore and the story is quite stupid you have to admit ...
The first 10 episodes are kind of a let down. Episode 1 to 6 are by far the weakest of the show where 7 to 10 are when the series gets back to it's tracks. For the last 10 episodes, those are just the best 10 episodes this show has ever seen. It's a shame that they are all mixed up in one season, otherwise Season 4A: 6.5/10, Season 4B: 9.5/10.
A solid entry to the sci-fi opera genre, worthy of the ones it winks and nods to. The stories are for the most part interesting, and although the character dynamics are still working themselves out, it's the side-characters once again that stand out.
Some of the jokes fall like lead balloons, but at least they try.
If you hark back to the formulaic Star Trek type shows of old, and don't feel like the more modern anthologies like Battlestar Galactica (or indeed Star Trek: Disovery) are for you, you'll like this. You might even like it regardless.
