    I felt like Orville succeeded despite him. I think he’s okay but I’ve seen him play himself a thousand times before and idc anymore. If he’s writing for it, it’s still good and I really think the rest of the cast is what kept me coming back. #teamgordon

      I’ve never really enjoyed his style of humor, but his dramatic writing is great. The Orville is at its best in its more serious moments and I usually feel like I have to tolerate the comedic elements to get to the good parts.

      The Orville felt like he wanted to actually make a star trek the next generation clone, and Fox wanted the family guy in space. Because I feel like season 2 really got it. And then fox canned it.

      Yeah… I’ve watched all of his stuff but his like… stammering to get a joke out that’s super characteristic of his is particularly grating now. Love everything he’s done but that particular quirk I could do without.
