The Orville is a criminally underrated show. It is fantastic. I love the humor that it brings, while the thought provoking problems give it perfect balance. Each character and their relationships are so well written. I could rant on this too long. Everyone should just go watch the Orville. 👍

I love McFarland's humor but this show IMO is the best he's ever done. It made me feel like I haven't felt in a couple of decades since The Next Generation was on air.

If this show made you feel like TNG, you should give Deep Space Nine, and Voyager a try. They are Star Trek, they are worth it. My favorite is Voyager. But what he says in the end of this review, if you are looking for a show that is still being aired, "that is Star trek", thw Orville is it. Unfortunately, enterprise, discovery, Picard, and under decks don't give anywhere the same feeling as the first 4

I have to give props to Isaac's actor, I do not know how he does it, his character demands that: he cant show his face, he cant significantly change the tone of his voice, he cant show a lot of physical emotion. An yet he is able to consistently communicate an incredible amount of emotions through simple pauses and slight body movements, not only that, but because of the story sometimes he has to carry the emotional core of entire episodes, now THAT is a great actor.

With season 3 especially though I feel like it's evolved into one of the best legit science fiction shows on TV right now, in turns exciting, moving, tense, action packed and genuinely thought provoking.

I agree, Alan. Although it’s a blatant copy of TNG (even the episodes are similarly themed), the show has evolved, matured and has become less slapstick. It has replaced the slapstick with more serious - but not so serious that it spoils it - episodes. It’s thought provoking, as well as all the other very apt adjectives you use. Fingers crossed that The Orville gets another (well deserved) season. P.S. I will say, however, that I think that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, just about gives it a run for its money, but The Orville still currently (comfortably) pips it.

Season 3 Episode 9 'Domino' was basically a movie, awesome show, great characters, loved it.

You articulated my thoughts exactly. I was wondering when they’re going to have to stop labeling this show as a comedy because season 3 was a straight up drama with comedic elements. And it was the social conscious that Star Trek was always supposed to be.

What I truly love about this show is that it has the grandiosity of space while at the same time treating its characters like real humans. What I mean is, TNG is (to me) the pinnacle of Star Trek but it's hard to relate to Picard with his Earl Grey tea and his highbrow Shakespearean slant on things. On the Orville, even the officers are just people who really want to go get a drink and blow off steam after a trying day. I just find them so very relatable.

Another great show I think you'll love is The Expanse. Personally think its the greatest sci fy show of this era. Felt like a game changer of a show, like how Star Trek OS was for its time. It has ended its 6 season run (and stuck the landing to), so nows the perfect time to watch it.

Season 3 was really a step up from the first 2 seasons, which I also really enjoyed. That episode with Gordon going back in time was unbelievable. I'm glad to hear you give special mention for it. Gordon is one of my favourite characters, but I was praying that would be the last episode we'd see him in. It could've been potentially the best exit from a show ever. Absolutely riveting episode. That scene with Mercer trying to convince him to come back and him vehemently rejecting the order was honestly one of the most enjoyable scenes I've ever seen in science-fiction. It spun me around. I was hating Captain Mercer during it and couldn't accept his position from a moral standpoint, but at the same time I knew in ordinary circumstances he would be doing what I felt was the right thing. It captured very nicely the dual nature of the human condition - on the one hand a sort of single-minded intellectual and technological pursuit, and on the other a spiritual, social dimension that is, no matter what we try to tell ourselves about our intellectual endeavours, the very essence of being human. One of my favourite 'Trek' episodes... I usually always think of 'Inner Light' and 'Darmok' as great examples of these incredible poignant and meaningful pieces of science fiction. Now, 'Twice in a Lifetime' goes alongside these great Star Trek episodes that truly captivated me.

I am SO happy you watched the orville. It's been my favorite for years and it needs more love

I absolutely love The Orville! Season 3 just knocked it out of the park. We need more people to watch it. It's the best hope we have for a season 4

I literally had the exact same line of events like 3 months before you did. A friend messaged me saying I would like this, and I literally thought "space family guy". Then I looked up some info about it and saw the enterprise crew and thought "okay, I will give it a go"

I watched it on Disney+ (UK), love it. I enjoyed the silliness of first season but also the more serious episode, I really like the debate on morals, religion and gender roles. The optimism of the future in the script is quite refreshing. One of the best shows I have seen in recent years.

I freaking love the Orville ! Let’s get a season 4 . When it drops on Disney you gotta watch ! Also catch on Hulu

I haven't seen the show, but my brother was watching an episode while I was in the room, and I was surprised at how heartfelt and honest the show was with its themes, to the point that, when the episode ended, I just said "This is just Star Trek", and he agreed. I might have to check it out, now.

I have never cried and thought more about morality, culture, and ethics and the nature of love and loyalty than this show. Totally surprised me. I was expecting Ted in space and instead I got Star Trek!

I miss these videos. The ones where you talk about a full season or series instead of singular episodes. The episode videos just got repetitive and didn't give you much to talk about when compared to the full season or series videos. Would love to see more of them, you're the reason I even discovered shows like Deadwood, Community, The Wire, Dexter, Game of Thrones and so on.

I’m not joking when I say this is one of the best seasons of TV, of any show I’ve ever seen. It’s so perfectly tuned and tightly written. I enjoyed every episode, every character and every moment

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how the humor is more like "people having fun at their jobs" at their jobs and not just the "ST parody" everyone was expecting... They remind me of when I'm involved in a jon I love and we are all just part of a great team and enjoying each others company.

I had every intention of one day playing catch up on this show, but now that it's appearing on Disney Plus, I will without a doubt be watching this!

I also “discovered” The Orville a few months ago and absolutely loved it! Thank you for showing it some love!

Glad you liked the show and happy to see you spreading the word about it, I feel like to a certain point CBS has been trying to bury The Orville's existence/diminish its reach by releasing new Trek show after new Trek show, and The Orville deserves the love. Though I really appreciated the new season and its serious take on issues, I do miss the humor of the earlier seasons...

The third season was an uninterrupted upward trajectory of the best of Star Trek, and then some. Just so frakking good… The Kelly-exposition in the finalé was next-level Prime Directive. So mature and calm and cool… 😎😎😎

I actually would rather buy Orville merch than Star Ttek merch - that says it all. Great shout out, thank you!

Thankyou Jeremy for reviewing this. We need big reviewers like you to reach out to more people. The fanbase is desperate for a renewal.

Orville is CRIMINALLY underrated, it certainly shouldn't have taken a Trek fan 5 years to find

This is amazing Jeremy! The Orville is definitely one of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time and you're absolutely right in your breakdown of the seasons I can't tell you how important it is to have someone like you really push this show this is awesome you are awesome! Great video bro can't wait to see the next one.

I absolutely love The Orville, and happy to hear that you did too. I will argue that some serious props goes to Seth MacFarlane for the fact that he wrote about half of the episodes himself, but his character is sometimes a relatively minor character. A lot of people assumed it'd be a vanity project, but he often times had the other characters take the limelight, even in those that he Wrote & Directed, so I feel that this was quite an inaccurate assumption on many people's part. Oh, and 2 or 3 episodes were Directed by Jonathan Frakes -- just in case you didn't notice that.

Finally, The Orville getting more recognition. Its really good...especially that Gordon episode was money

Yeah the third season is just *chefs kiss* - the fact that episode 10 .... ended the way it did being the sort of episode it was ....is just fantastic.

Honestly, I've never sat & watched a single episode of Star Trek BUT I love The Orville. Every character is perfect. With The Perfect Amount of Humor, Suspense, & Drama. One of my all time favorite shows.

I honestly think Season 3 deserves an Emmy nomination. The way they incorporate social themes organically into the characters and such, is a Master Class in how to do that. Star Trek lately just focuses on the social themes instead of the characters and it's never addressed organically, so it comes off like "We get it!!!" "See, We Get it!!!" "We're doing it mom, we're getting it!!!"

Thank you so much for covering this show, this show NEEDS more attention so it can go at LEAST two more seasons. It started out overly corny at first because Seth had to appease Fox, then he slowly let the essence of Star Trek bleed on in. And it's been a fun AND emotional ride! I didn't expect to have a few episodes of The Orville to make me tear up. It's not ground breaking (yet) but they still have some great writing and direction.

Thank you, Jeremy! Didn’t expect you’d do this, but I’m so happy to hear you like it! It’s my entry way to The Next Generation! Seth Macfarlane did a GREAT job telling the story if it doesn’t get renewed. But also did a great job setting up for future stories if so, BOOM

As a person who didn't have any reference points as i have never watched Star Trek, I am a big fan of Orville from the start. I was a little confused why there was so little comedy in the 3rd season, so thanks for explaining that. But I feel integrating more comedy would raise the show up a notch. We already have a success story for reference in the MCU!

Just started the show yesterday after watching your vid and man… I’ll admit I wasn’t expecting to be absolutely floored by episode 3 of this show. Just the excellent balancing of comedy with very serious subject matter made me come to really love this show.

Thanks for shining some light on The Orville, Jeremy. It’s a great show that harnesses what made Star Trek amazing. It’s optimistic. It has a genuinely likable crew. It has interesting stories. And gives us a new universe worth exploring.

I've never really watched Star Trek at all growing up. Always been more of a Star Wars fan, that's just who I am. But when this show first came out years ago, I gave it a chance. And I gotta say, love at first sight. I personally believe that this is the best TV series Seth McFarland has ever done. The first two seasons were amazing, playing tribute to Star Trek as well as the Sci fi genre in television. While I loved the first two seasons, they weren't perfect. I never saw an episode I hated exactly, but knew some of them weren't as great. But that all changed with "New Horizons". All 10 episodes of this season were outstanding and perfect to a T. Gordon's alternate family, The dilemma with the Moclans and Kirll, Issac's relationship with Charly. It was ALL perfect! And while yes, some of the humor was cut back, I personally like to think at the point it's due to experience. During the time of the first two seasons, Ed and some of his crew were still relatively fresh to being part of the Union. They were basically Rookies. So during "New Horizons", their much more experienced officers of the Union and known when to be serious and appropriate in certain situations. Overall, this is one of my all time favorite TV series. The first two seasons were classics and the long waited third one on Hulu is simply a masterpiece in my book. I'll be heartbroken yet dumbfounded if they don't move forward with more seasons.

As somebody who loves both Star Wars and Star Trek, I gotta say - Trek is much better. It's much more optimistic and hopeful of the future, and smashes our biases right in front of us. The Original Series got death threats for years because they had the first interracial kiss on television, because in the future, they figured these petty differences that divide us would no longer be. Lightsabers, Star Destroyers, they're all cool don't get me wrong - but Star Trek portrays the Future of Humanity, and that's a whole other animal. Check out Strange New Worlds. You'll see what I mean.

As someone who is also a fan of all things sci-fi, I’d advise avoiding Kurtzman Trek. Allegory is done so much better on the Orville and it’s easy to see Seth grabbed as much of the people from the OG trek shows that if they transported “The Union” into pre Bad Robot Treks Universe it wouldn’t feel out of place at all. SNW did get some praise but I think that was more for it being better than Picerd and STD. Not a high mountain to climb.

Seeing what Seth was able to do with The Orville makes me sad to think of what Star Trek shows have turned into, and what he could have done with the IP.

The Orville... a genuinely great watch! What I like about it is comedy is still there but more subdued, and the show is also is made for a capable audience not dumbing the subject matter down so far the show by explaining every little nuance. That is similar to ST:TNG, but seriously lacking in the newer frivolous iterations of Star Trek, if they even deserve the branding. Season 3 is definitely deeper and presenting challenges to the audience like ST:TNG, and similarly instead of latest editions of Star Trek telling you what to think, questions are posed for the audience to contemplate how they would choose given the same circumstance. Definitely worth watching.

Definitely a show that deserves more recognition so thank you for showing it some love I watched this with mum back when it was still airing and we loved it. She grew up loving Star Trek and she by far preferred this over voyager. Wish we’d gotten a couple more seasons but the show went on a roller coaster regarding direction and production companies (jumping between fox, Hulu and now Disney) and then coming to the pandemic, so I get it.

Jeremy, if you're really into sci fi, I would implore you to give The Expanse a chance. I remember you liking BSG so you may like The Expanse too. For me it's the greatest Sci Fi space opera movie/show I've ever seen. As for The Orville. I've never been big on Trek. It was a bit before my time. But I love The Orville. In this modern trend of heavily serialized shows, having episodic stories exploring individual characters and ideas was refreshing.(Even though I will say that New Horizons was a lot more serious and serialized than previous seasons).

Cannot back this up enough. The Expanse is fucking amazing, you just have to be willing to let it build.

I have a plaque replica on my wall of the "Legitimate Salvage" plate in the show. My car has a vanity plate displaying "ROCI". I don't know if you'll see this Jeremy, but I feel like it contextualises, some, how good the show is. I am not one to nerd out like that. I never have before. But The Expanse is both my favourite show, and my favourite book series. Absolutely worth your time. I'd love to hear you talk about it.

I still don't get how Scott Grimes aka Malloy hasn't been in a musical yet. His singing voice is outta this world!

Yes! This is currently my favorite show. It's spectacular and it deserves a massive fan base. LOVE The Orville.

Isaac and Bortus are by far my favourite characters. Which makes sense, Data and Worf were by far my favourite characters.

I'm glad you're talking about this, Episode 11 of season 2 is literally my favorite episode of any tv show. It is the only tv show to make me cry from that episode so it means a lot to me

It does essentially capture the heart of Star Trek and yet manages to define itself as its own thing. I love it. Best Trek in years.

That episode with Gordon. Holy shit. That could have been a full movie.

Thanks for talking about the show! Everybody, we need a Season 4, so tell people to watch it when it comes out on Disney plus tomorrow!

This show has been going so strong. Visually the space in this show is beautiful Great show Here’s to a season 4

Thank you Jeremy, very thoughtful of you! I’ve loved the three seasons for different reasons. I saw the same tone evolution across the seasons as you did, but it felt thematically very consistent to me. I’d love to see a fourth and fifth + season!

I’m so glad you liked it Jeremy . I’ve been a fan since the first episode and I’m sad to hear that they are not gonna do more. I hope they see there is a dedicated fan base and they try to do more . It has some of the best costumes and make up in television and app the graphics have a cool style .

It’s cool to see some love for this show from a bigger youtuber like you. I’m such a fan of this show. Season 1 did have too much humor for my liking but 2 and 3 are incredible. It’s the first show since game of thrones where I can’t wait to watch it when a new episode goes live. I think it’s “that” good. I’m invested in everything. 🥳

I'm in absolute love with the orville and it's origins being it started on FOX you can see that perhaps FOX was pushing the writers to place more humor at the beginning but slowly they writers pushed away from it and season 3 they were unchained to tell some really compelling stories it's awesome that Jeremy liked it

The Orville is such a great show. I've followed from the beginning and honestly think it's gone from strength to strength.

I was born in 95. I never got into Star Trek. But I saw a clip of The Orville on a youtube short and instantly got hooked. Binged the series in less than a month. That show is a masterclass in blending complex societal arguments with "running joke" style comedy. It also has it's moments in the drama AND action categories. Isaac and Claire, Bortus and Clyden, Alrara and her gravity issues, Gordon and that girl from the past... Everything was fire. I hope season 4 gets greenlit.

I loved this season, I was worried it that it wouldn't get made but Seth really came through. It had heart and if this was the last season, as sad as that would make me I would say it was fantastic Trek, and good scifi to boot!

It’s a refreshing return to the thought-provoking, weekly story telling that I feel is missing in current television. The humor is there, the heart is there, the sci fi is there. I love this show. I hope more people give it a try do we can get more seasons.

That episode with Gordon brought me so close to tears and I never ever cry from films and stuff. It was so good

Thank you for reviewing this! The Orville should get more attention and praise. I agree 180% that The Orville is the new Trek.

To me, you are the greatest living movie reviewer of today. This video shows why. Your reviews for good and bad movies are the best out there today. Thank you for continue to putting in the time, effort and thought into each and every video. For my son and I, THANK YOU!
