I mean, the Orville is more like a comedy, not everyone is into that.
Have you watched The Expanse? That’s more of what more realistic space sci-fi looks like.
Also: For All Mankind, depicting an alternate space race where the Soviets won the race to the moon, and the space race didn’t end, and continued on, base on moon, maybe even expanding further into the solar system (no spoilers, you’ll have to watch).
I also didn’t like it the first watch. Then a few years later I ran out of stuff to watch and tried again. It’s very confusing on who the “bad guys” are until season 2. I just google some minor spoilers and about the “bad guys” and it was enough for me to continue on watching.
Season 1, nothing really happens, it feels more like a prequel. Season 2 is when shit really begins.
Honestly, you may be able to for the expanse. I would argue at least the last few episodes of S1, but there is definitely a bit of a tonal shift as the screenwriters worked themselves closer to the books. Imo S2 & 3 have the strongest arcs whose themes bleed into the rest, with the world changing around those later.
I could not at all sink into for all mankind, knowing some of the major plot beats didn’t help at all, i honestly don’t know if i watched enough to make a judgement, but also trying to have a kid on Mars was probably the dumbest thing I heard that definitely pushed me away
The Orwell
If you can wade through the sludge (like ST:TNG S1), it really becomes incredibly thought-provoking in especially season 3.
Orville?
Yeah, that. Thanks.

Ironically, I couldn’t stand Expanse’s pilot and I don’t think I got past the first few episodes. It was just so slow and nap-inducing…

Man, I wish I could just skip S1, then. If I can’t then I may never see it as there is so much else out there!
