The Orville

[robby]

There's a clever new science fiction series that is a subtle comic takeoff on Star Trek Next Generation. The crew all have personal foibles, but manage to successfully complete each mission. The captain was assigned his ex-wife as his first officer. There is a Worf-like species as the second officer, and this alien species is only male, so his mate is on-board, and another male. They are having marital difficulties. The comedy is underplayed, and they have legitimate missions, but the odd mix of drama and humor is entertaining.

I have watched the first episode. I love it.

I've watched the first six episodes. I believe there will be a second season. You might also enjoy "Westworld" and "Better Call Saul".

Love the Orville. Not only does it entertain, it makes you think.

Yes, episode 7 was especially well written.
