Hello there people who love movies and television a few weeks before Star Trek: Discovery debuted Seth MacFarlane debuted his Star Trek inspired show The Orville and now we're four episodes in i'm going to review it.
The plot of the show is The crew of U.S.S. Orville goes around the universe exploring new worlds. Yes what i've described to you is the very plot of the show and yes it is episodic and i like that now every show needs to have an overarching story sometimes having an episodic show is good for you.
The show is not only created by Seth Macfarlane but he also plays one of the lead roles with the other characters being played by Adrianne Palicki , Penny Johnson Jerald , Scott Grimes , Peter Macon , Halston Sage , J. Lee and Mark Jackson. I have to say that the cast in this show are funny as hell each of the cast members get there moment to say or do something funny and i love it i cannot count how many times i've laughed at something that any member of the cast has said.
Now this show is a science fiction drama comedy and it's really heavy on both the science fiction and the comedy i'll admit that not all of the jokes work but the alot of them not only land but they had me laughing out loud especially in episode 4 where they work in not only a mom joke but a reference to Friends. The issue i have is as i've said before it gets a little to heavy on the science fiction for my liking since it gets confusing with the character races.
I think that this show has a really small budget because there are at times then CGI looks fake as hell but tho at the same time the inside of the ship looks really good i want to spend time on that ship it looks that good plus Adrianne Palickie is a babe whatever budget this show has i hope that for a potential second series it gets an increase because this show is worth it.
The guest list for this show reads like a who's who of Seth's friends i can't post there names because as of this writing only three of them have turned up but so far every guest star has killed it in the show and the one in episode 4 i didn't see coming and wondered how did they get this person.
Overall i think you should watch this show just because it gives out a message of hope and if Star Trek: Discovery isn't your think then this will be right up your alley i won't give this ranking since it's still on going but it's worth watching.
