What I like about The Orville is what everyone else likes about The Orville: beacause it's a pastiche, it can serve modernized but otherwise straight-up 1990s-style Star Trek without any pressure to be particularly stylish or boundary-pushing. Note how Star Trek: Discovery is held to have "found its footing" now that, four seasons in, it too has become a relentlessly cosy extended-family-in-space Trek instead of the "20 straight minutes of Klingon gibberish" grimdark Trek it started out as. If anything, The Orville's dangers feel more real!
