I loved it. So much sci if these days focuses more on world building than character development. Orville felt like it struck the right balance between the two and gave us characters that are easier to empathize with.
A good point. I feel like everything I watch now I just cannot stand any of the main characters. They're either abrasive angry awful people that I want nothing to do with, or boring dull wooden textbook characters that are so cliche you already know what the plot will be before it happens. These days if I don't like the characters within a few episodes, and care about what happens to them, I'm out.
