The Orville is to Star Trek as Spaceballs was to Star Wars. A humorous parody, but I can appreciate the effort that they put in to have the show take itself a bit more seriously during dramatic scenes. I enjoyed it, although I only saw two seasons.
I don't agree with this assessment. The Orville is only a Star Trek parody for the first two episodes, after that it feels more accurate to me to call it an homage.
