MODERATORS
I second this the orville is the best star trek show since deep space 9
In that both The Orville and DS9 miss the point of Star Trek despite being made by people who clearly like Star Trek.
Sorry, I know I'm alone in being grumpy about DS9, but I've been grumpy about DS9 since the 90s.
My vote is for Strange New Worlds. I don't hate The Orville, I think it's funny and has its own sense of internal consistency, but I'd definitely watch it as a loving parody from a different political tack. If one is into academia or analytically-minded, comparing where the humor comes from in Lower Decks and The Orville would be a fantastic paper or video essay to put together, though.
