Could be... I know when I had a card reprogrammer (or I should say, when they still worked) I watched Godzilla on PPV (the Matthew Broddrick version) willingly, and I already had seen it... just becauseOr.....maybe enough people are subscribed to Netflix during a TV season 'lull' that this is the only thing on, and it's benefiting from the "what the hell" factor. This sounds a lot like Netflix trying to play the ~FAKE NEWS~ card on critics, when in truth, their viewers are 'jailhouse gay' because they're paying for the content anyway, so why not watch it?
I think The Orville is the best rated new drama series on Fox since Empire. Great show IMHO, total ripoff of classic Star Trek but still pretty great.
I wouldn't call it a rip off, it's more of an homage/mockery of Star Trek. They tackle the things that Star Trek was too afraid to, like what happens when you have a green jello alien wanting to "lay the pipe" to a human, but they still tackle the hard hitting things and show that not everything has a "happy" ending, like the whole "my baby is female, and needs to be changed to be accepted by society" bit.
I am probably going to piss quite a few people off here but meh w/e. The Orville is WAY better than Discovery. I say this as a lifelong Star Trek fan. Also yes I am still watching the crap that is Discovery whenever I can catch an episode at some poor sods place that was dumb enough to shell out for CBS all access.
Critics are disconnected from most movie goers because they're looking for different things.
I would say if a movie looks interesting to you (that's the most important factor), it's worth watching if the typical reviewers have at 50% or higher.
That's Liberal Arts for you. As I pointed out before, reviewers are there own breed of movie watchers that care mostly about the technical aspects of films (story, script, acting, etc. not necessarily emotional response).
Movie critics: just as outdated as the rest of the traditional media.
I don't mean what I said derogatorily. Seth McFarland is a well known Star Trek and Star Wars fan and I think gets the material well. But The Orville is clearly Star Trek with Seth McFarland's spin on it which I totally fine with.
the technical aspects of a film was once avidly discussed and dissected by customers in the IMDB forums. I can only imagine the depth and excitement in participating a technical discussion on Blade Runner 2049
now days, there is no where to go. Damn corporates.
How is LOTR outdated? Watched both LOTR and the Hobbit trilogy a few weeks ago and I still see LOTR as a masterpiece.Didn’t know anyone liked this movie. Thought it was targeted to middle school boys but maybe I’m just getting too old. Saw LOTR again the other day and wow is it really outdated now.
The paywall is probably the main reason behind the problems most people have with Discovery. For a half-century old series, I think Discovery is doing what it has to do and I love it at this point. But it is FAR darker then classic Star Trek and after seeing last weeks episode, being behind a paywall might not have been such a bad idea. But I love The Orville also, it's much more in the spirit of classic Star Trek.
Well, then mission accomplished. McFarland wanted to do a Star Trek series but couldn't get the rights so did the next best thing. And he specifically wanted to do a TOS/TNG style show which is why it is "story of the week" and not multi-episode story show (which is what many critics dinged him on, btw).
Do you know, how I know, that you have never watched Bright? ... it’s not a series. This is the other problem with reviews on the internet ... people don’t even actually watch the movies they review.I also though Bright is rubbish. i could not stomach finishing the first episode.

This movie was garbage. In what world is this considered either a good premise or successful movie? I saw it, and barely made it through. Disjointed storyline, shitty plot and the hollywood "heavy hitter" Will Smith fighting against corruption and racism while acting like E.T? Yea, i'm not gettin jiggy with it.
