A nice harmless fantasy well worth a watch with the kids.

On the whole I agree With you but would like to Elaborate & Extrapolate on your finishing argument if you don't mind ?

Most shows that gained any longevity started with relatively pale versions of the characters in the first season, the shows that the

characters have a chance to develop, often grow into the more Believable and Enjoyable ones, with this in mind , perhaps this is the way to go to get a lasting franchise .

I am Hopeful of this series and yet Ifeel trepidation as well, will it be a glorified soap with Swords & Sandels or will it have some semblance of realism? Only time and the BBC can tell.

The Orville This brings to mind a bit of bad comedy from British TV's past, I just hope this is a misleading title . I'm hoping for a good show, expecting mediocre & dreading total crap.
