I had the opposite experience lol! I really liked the first season, season 2 started off pretty well, but I lost interest before I got to season 3. It felt like the later episodes were either too preachy, or too focused on trying to make the characters “cool” instead of funny. I just wasn’t enjoying it any more

Orville was such an aimless show in the beginning. Obviously it started out going for campy comedy parody but it honestly wasn’t hitting the mark on the comedy often enough. I’m stalled out somewhere in early Season 3–not because I wasn’t enjoying it, I think it’s actually gotten pretty good by that point, but just time and other commitments.

I just got burned out on Moclan drama, and the Kaylon got a little too Star Wars for me.

I love the humor in it. Gordon and Lamarr racing to deliver some news was one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever seen (trying not to spoil it if someone wants to watch and hasn't yet). But that humor was a little too juvenile at the very start. My guess has been that the earlier stuff was for the benefit of funding. They expected Family Guy in Space, so he delivered it, for a handful of episodes, then took the show where it was supposed to be.

I prefer the first seasons that they didn’t take the show too seriously. The last ones (or last one?) Was way too dense, with episodes way too long that got be bored at half episode every time.

I agree, earlier seasons had the right balance

I agree as well. And I’ve had my best laugh while watching season one and being high.
Because it was probably written while being high…
