Just another thing that Miek and I take differing viewpoints on - I watched a couple episodes of Orville and didn't really like it. Discovery has some interesting potential, and I'll probably keep watching to see whether the series deviates from the cliches from past Star Trek series, or whether it tries some different things.

I've heard from a few people that Discovery gets good from episode 3 onward.

As for Orville, I didn't expect it to tackle issues like same sex marriage, religion, treatment of animals, gender identities, etc. Pleasant surprise that it's a deeper show than I originally gave it credit for.

Halt and Catch Fire was excellent. The subject matter didn't strike me at first but it turned out to be very interesting.

The first two episodes of Discovery were basically like the JJ Abrams movies, so, if you like those, you will like those. I have only seen one other episode and it didn't really work for me. It just doesn't feel like Star Trek. It is very violent and action oriented. That's fine, it just isn't Star Trek to me....

The Expanse is 100x better than Orville or Star Trek Discovery.
