Looks hysterical. They're on a ship and they're all gonna die and only the Capn knows. What's boring about that?!

Looks like a less weird but more boring version of Aniara and I really didn't think much of that movie. Laughing

This is the first time I've even heard of it. I guess this was greenlit after The Orville (and to some extent Lost in Space I guess) became a success.

I want more Orville. Why oh why did they skip the 2019/2020 season, instead going for 2020/2021? :/

Fantastic first episode.
Might be a bit too much, unless the strength continues throughout the season.

Karen is awesome.

most the actors are super weak, bummer, cause the jokes and setting are actually quite good and the ship and setting is great

Booooring. Definitely not my style of comedy; dry while silly, a combo that rarely works for me unless there's some thought behind. There was so much potential with the setting (and the budget seems big).

Give it an ep or two.
If you liked thick of it, veep, death of Stalin you'll enjoy it.
All of these works require a moment to get used to the humour.

I watched first 2 episodes last night. Had difficulty even raising a smirk and i have a pretty low bar for comedy shows. I will persevere with the rest of the season tho.

What sort of humour is in this? Satire? Black Comedy? Absurdist?



1 and 2 are still amazing.

The corona crisis adds another layer to this show, I'm enjoying it Smile Also like how they play with Hugh Laurie's accent Very Happy


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Yeah, I lack humor. That must be the answer. You're so clever. I guess I should delete all my comedy shows and movies, throw away my complete collection of Red Dwarf, Father Ted and so on. Laughing

Seriously, why do some people get so defensive just because someone else doesn't enjoy the same show as they do? Some kind of confirmation neediness thingy?

I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of the first episode. What is up with that cinematography? I may give it another try in the future.

Yeah, I've been meaning to give it and Veep a try. But then not all shows by a creator are guaranteed to work with the same audience. Just look at Alan Ball after Six Feet Under Sad
