Ehhh. Not impressed with the trailer. I like MacFarlane's stuff. I like Star Trek. But this looks weird. Trailer didn't really do anything for me.

I don't know, but for whatever reason I get the feeling that guys like Allen, Murray, RDJ, etc... are guys that are playing characters that think they're better than the characters they're in a role with. MacFarlane, OTOH, gives off a vibe of an actor that thinks he's better than the audience he's deigning to cater to. Cumberbatch occasionally falls into that realm as well. He's a comedic version of Sean Penn, IMO. I just have a visceral dislike of the guy anytime I see him on screen. |

This looks pretty good. Really liked Galaxy Quest, hope Orville is at least as good or better. |

Toby Stephens from Black Sails plays John Robinson but in a twist (of course, because everything has to have gender flipping these days), Parker Posey plays Dr. Smith.
Personally, I think she's a great choice because she plays the conniving, condescending bitch so well. From my understanding, this version will remain dark, like the original season and not be all "campy" like the following seasons of the 60's series. So we won't see a dopey Dr. Smith and silly interactions with Will and the Robot. Hopefully, it works. |

It's getting hammered by reviewers.
First off, it's supposedly not a comedy, despite the first trailers. It's serious, with "Bro Humor" thrown in as an afterthought. It's basically a homage to Star Trek but it's also a homage to The Twilight Zone (?). Every review I've read said that the VFX and sets are phenomenal but the show just doesn't know what it wasn't be and that it's very confusing. We'll know soon enough. |
