More 9 Blood of Patriots Air date: Mar 7, 2019 More Critic Reviews for The Orville Season 2 All Critics (11) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (0) [It] may not want to be a space spoof, but if it's able to fully evolve into a character-driven dramedy that just happens to be set in space, then that's adding something unique to the genre. And that could make "The Orville" a show worth watching. Jan 2, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Top Critic Last night, I was emotionally moved by an episode about a character's pornography addiction-a concept so ridiculous that only some likeable characters and impeccable writing can pull off. Jan 24, 2019 | Full Review… Ciaran Kerr Film Bunker An understated, character-driven second season premiere that functions more like a day-in-the-life starship story than anything involving aliens or galactic peril. Jan 2, 2019 | Full Review… Clint Worthington The Spool There is a sensitivity, skill and structural balance at work here which demonstrates what continues to make The Orville so special. Jan 8, 2019 | Full Review… Martin Carr Flickering Myth A surprising follow up to a Season 1 storyline... It's also welcoming, and another point of evidence that Seth McFarlane's Fox series is more than a parody of Star Trek. Jan 4, 2019 | Full Review… Nick Venable CinemaBlend The Orville decided to play it safe rather than deliver some edgy material in its second season premiere. Jan 2, 2019 | Full Review… Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Goofy, busy, and with a juvenile bent, but ultimately enjoyable. Jan 2, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Diana Keng TV Fanatic If the season 2 premiere of The Orville is any indication... [the show] has found its footing and maybe its identity in telling smaller, more character-driven stories, that better serve its sometimes confounding mix of sincerity and irreverence. Jan 2, 2019 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant The Orville is playing to it strengths right out of the gate. If any of the tonal wonkiness of the first season was off-putting for anyone, this second season debut seems to be sending a clear message: This show is a sitcom first. Jan 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Ryan Britt Den of Geek McFarlane has crafted "The Orville" into something of a light dessert for your evening TV viewing.
