    Nostalgic for TNG era Trek? Tune in to The Orville

    Ever wonder what Star Trek: TNG would have been like if the characters "let loose" a bit and indulged in a bit of workplace humour reminiscent of everyday life, complete with pop culture references? If so, then The Orville is for you. If not, you might like it anyway.

    In many ways, The Orville is a throwback to mid-eighties TV. Clearly inspired by TNG, it is a fluffy bit of entertainment (nothing wrong with that, of course) with an episodic approach to TV that was once THE way TV programmes were built, but now seems a bit "old-school" in this era of highly serialized, arc-heavy shows. Its tone is also far from the "grim and dark" default of much of today's programming, regardless of genre.

    I don't know if it will last, but for those missing lighter, episodic sci-fi fare, it may well prove worthy of your attention. On the technical side, it looks and sounds very well--on those points, it is a fully modern show.
