Damn, really?? I never watched it because I can't stand McFarlane but I have loved trek my whole life. I figured it would be a family guy version of Star trek.
Seriously give it a chance. Awesome trek
It kinda starts out that way. People theorized that that's what Seth needed to do to sell it. But by the end of Season 1 it becomes the Star Trek you've been wanting. Season 2 continues it and the last season absolutely kills!
Y'all getting me psyched now. I'm working out of town all next week so I'll be in a hotel with nothing to do so I'm going to check it out for sure.
I'm excited for you, definitely the best show I had seen in a long time.
The humour in the first season can be a bit forced, and it can feel like they're stopping the show for the scheduled joke, but it's worth sticking with 👍
Season 1 leans into the comedy angle, Season 2 onwards is basically TNG. Seriously, its better than Discovery and Picard.
I didn't like discovery or Picard, felt way off from Trek to me, but strange new worlds is amazing imo. I'll check it out though, admittedly I never even gave it a chance.
Watch Picard Season 3, it's probably the best Trek I've seen since Deep Space Nine's final two seasons.
No, it's like a love note to TOS. All of the Treks that followed were a bit more serious in tone, which is fine and dandy, but The Orville captures the spirit of the original series very well. Strange New Worlds is somewhat similar to the original series in tone, but doesn't have that 60s campy feel.
