This show isn't the Star Trek that I love. But I did enjoy season one for what it is--essentially a sci-fi action show with some bits of drama thrown in, obviously capitalizing on the brand for the purpose of nostalgia and name recognition, but a pretty superficial connection on that front. Nothing as thought provoking or durable as some of the original series, TNG, or Deep Space Nine, but I think it's fun, some of the characters are really cool, I dug the evil captain and thought Sarek was done really well. I liked it better than most of what we saw in the newer films, FWIW.
I saw the first episode of season 2 last night on Youtube, and enjoyed it, but some of it got a bit predictable and stale. The editing in particular is really annoying me at times. They keep cutting to crew reactions, and it's the same ******* thing about 50 times per episode. Not everything is a big, dramatic "event" worthy of those kinds of reactions. But it's fine overall. The prawn monster science commander guy is the best thing about the show.
I tried Orville, but it's too cheesy and unfunny for me. I know some of the "good" Star Trek is also cheesy, but there seemed to be more depth of story and emotion there. I haven't tried since season 1 though, so maybe it has improved. Not a fan of the Family Guy dude, though.
