Is this series similar to Dark matter?Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
The easy way to explain it would be Star Trek TNG meets Family Guy, but I know the latter would probably keep some away.
I've watched season one. I was surprised by how entertaining it was. The comedy is a bit too much sometimes, but it's a great love love letter to The Next Generation style sci-fi. To a large extent, it's the comedy that lets them get away with doing TNG style stories. Definitely giving S2 ago when it arrives in the UK.
I didn't understand the latest episode. Why was Bortis responsible for what happened to the Moklin Engineer ?

His mate threatened to turn the engineer in to the authorities, which is what prompted the engineer to fake his own death. When caught, he was given the option of seeking asylum, which he declined, and so he will spend the rest of his life in jail for sexual deviancy.Bortis has previously protected the engineer. He could have reported him when he discovered him years earlier, but he did not because he loved him. Note that this is now the second time Bortis has had a major disagreement with his mate, and both times it has been about how his society reacts to females. If the show has courage, they'll show real consequences to that.
also I see why fans of original Star Trek (all of them) not that hyped about Orville.

I grew up on ST:TNG and I like the Orville. The show is pretty obviously a love letter to Star Trek and it's got that TNG vibe except the crew act like normal people and not those Star Fleet uber officers without any flaws.

"all of them" means all versions of Star Trek: original, next generation, deep space 9, enterprise, discovery...Edit: figured where confusion was
