The Orville: The Complete First Season - DVD [4 Discs]

So this show was originally billed as a Star Trek parody...but it's much more than that. There is an air of informality pretty much everywhere on the ship between the characters (and some of that rubs me the wrong way)...but this is a minor gripe. The show is a jewel, and has become more Star Trek than the current Star Trek has morphed into. The feel of historical Trek is here in spades...probably because you can find credits of multiple Trek alumni in writing, production, direction and even one regular cast member (Penny Jerald-Johnson). If anything is holding you back from exploring this series...don't let it. Pick this up. If you long for the old days of Star Trek, you just might find this to your liking.

More than just a parody of Star Trek, The Orville may just be what today’s day and age needs to take the place of Star Trek and that old niche of science fiction serials. True, Star Trek lives on in Discovery, but The Orville captures a spirit of Star Trek that Discovery does not quite have; the wonder and family-fun of space travel. Complain all you want, current iterations Of Star Trek and similar franchises have shifted over to being glorified soap dramas. The Orville makes me want to explore the cosmos again.

What I originally expected to be a lazy satire of Star Trek turned out to be one of my favorite television series currently airing. While topics and content may result in a show that's inappropriate for younger audiences, this series plays like a genuine love letter for fans of both the original Star Trek series and TNG with clever writing and even more spaceship spectacle. If you're itching for more Star Trek and Discover isn't what you're looking for, give The Orville a chance.

Seth is a trip!! All his shows and movies are funny to me. 'The Orville' has an old school feel to it, and it pokes fun at those old school sci-fi shows. There are some "Haha" moments, but most of it has that dry type comedy which can be really funny if its done right, which Seth is good at. ...And even though season 2 just started, its proving to be just as funny as the first season.

Reason i buy DVDS and Chapters, seasons, box set what ever you want to called them is for the extra stuff like behind the scene, how did they do that and bloopers. This doesn't have much. But those things, I personally see them as the second reason why i get them. Now put that aside, the show doesn't disappoint. Great cast, story lines are creative and the comedy is on point. I dough the second season, thats next.
