Almost everybody of my age used to watch Star Trek, a sci-fi show that we still talk about when the sci-fi subject is brought up. Mister Spock being the most unusual character. In The Orville you get a mixed crew of different life forms, going from blubber to a robot. There is a slight touch of satire but it's much more than that. To me it could have gone on for much more seasons although a couple episodes from the last season were a bit too romantic, like the relationship between the doctor and the robot which was a bit annoying. Add to that the couple singing scenes, another not great idea. But Seth MacFarlane did a good job creating this show. It changes from American Dad and Family guy, the shows that made him. He has a good sense of humour which could be seen in some episodes. Of course you get so much better sci-fi scenes than in Star Trek. Visually it looks all better, certainly towards the end. Too bad there are no more seasons.
