Season two of Seth MacFarlanes Sci-fi drama (not a comedy) began last week with a special Sunday premiere followed by the second episode airing in it’s regular Thursday spot.
I think a lot of people were confused by season one. They were expecting a pure comedy from the creator of Family Guy and Ted. Most of the articles about the series, before it came out, were calling it Galaxy Quest the TV show. Instead audiences were treated to an episodic Science Fiction series that has more in common with Start Trek: The Next Generation than Star Trek: Discovery does, and that makes The Orville AWESOME!!!
Late to the party, as usual
