The Orville

I originally rated this show 8/10 after watching seasons 1 & 2. I have started watching season 3... which was a long time coming and I was really hanging out for it... I have just watched S03E05 'A Tale of Two Topas' and the first thing I did was up my rating to 9/10. Season 3 was totally worth waiting or. I particularly love the way that the stories are carrying on from season 1 & 2 events. I truly hope there is a season 4!! When the series started it was too forced with the comedy moments. They were not natural, and some were to the point of being cringe-worthy. But as season 1 progressed, it became more serious and in my opinion, it became a much better program. I don't consider there to have been a bad episode. Sure, some are better than others, but none are bad. There is drama, action, comedy (but no longer cringe-worthy)... the stories are totally engaging and cover worthwhile topics and ethical quandaries. I find the show extremely well cast and the acting very natural. It's more like Star Trek that Star Trek Discovery is!!
