I'm probably going to get flamed by Sci-Fi fans, but The Orville is a great show

Season 1 was a little off balanced.
Season 2 really deepens the character development
Season 3 was outright amazing until Episode 10.

Seth Macfarlane really ramps up the social commentary hard in most episodes.

It is an homage to Stark Trek and Twilight Zone in many ways, but it is a really awesome show.

But MacFarlane makes some funny shows. I’d forgotten about it. Thanks.

It's on some channel that I don't get.

I liked the one where the alien female wanted to TAKE the captain purely for her pleasure.

A little action, a little drama, a little humor...I still remember Seth walking in on his wife and the
blue man, just as the blue guy, umm-errrrrr, climaxed!
