re: The Orville - This is more Star Trek than Discovery **1st Season Done**

People don't get this show...it's like an hour long "You laugh, you lose!" Sixty minutes of actors doing and saying the improbable and sometimes the outrageous totally deadpan. And no laugh track.

It's not perfect, but the production values are amazing, and it's like a homage to the original Star Trek in that it sprinkles the amusing moments in with the heavy social commentary.

And I get the sense that McFarlane's is honing his direction for the show as he goes along.

And did I mention that, unlike the latest incarnation of Star Trek, this show is completely free to watch? You can even stream it over the internet, with limited commercial breaks.

Well worth watching.
