'The Orville' Is Pretty Fucking Good

For what it is, which is big-budget Star Trek: The Next Generation fanfic.  The show looks good, and it hits shitloads of the ST:TNG notes for better or worse.  Seth MacFarlane's not getting any benefit of the doubt from any of the hopeless fanboy losers, even the ones who aren't boys, because, well, he's that offensive low-brow sexist bastard Seth MacFarlane, and he's getting to live the ultimate dream, namely being the Captain of a starship.  Of course all the shitheads trashing the show are jelly as fuck.  Is the show great?  Nope.  But it's okay, and way better than it should be.  Much of TNG was fucking awful, too--and not just the first few episodes--but nobody remembers that now or is willing to admit it, anyway.
