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 goddamn 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.
