Critics hate The Orville, Seth McFarlane's uncanny love letter to Star Trek and The Next Generation, but they love the grittier, ultra-2017 Star Trek: Discovery. Viewers love The Orville, though, while remaining divided and indifferent to the new official series.
The critics are mistaken; the viewers are right. I was surprised at how intimately Seth McFarlane -- Seth McFarlane! -- is tuned into Gene Roddenberry's sense of humanity's future potential and why it's OK to have a shipful of lovers. It's TNG with dick jokes! And, let's face it, the time is right for some happy technocommie utopian SF.
