After watching first episode of the Orville I thought OK, Star Trek clone with over the top comedy.
After watching second episode of the Orville I thought not bad, not good.
After watching third episode of the Orville I thought this is getting interesting if they tackle social issues already and do it this well.
After watching fourth episode of the Orville I thought this is going to be great serie.
Episode by episode they seem to tone down the stupid comedy while keeping the funny comedy and still being serious enough.
I'd say way better start than Star Trek the Next Generation had and I don't have say how good that turned out to be.
Speaking of Star Trek:
After 2 episodes (or one long cut in two) Star Trek Discovery I think not that strong start.
Why the **** Klingons had to be redesigned yet again so drasticly and make them that stupid looking.
Well I hope it gets better.
I seriously hope the Orville gets many many more seasons and stays what Star Trek should be.
