As a big fan of this series from the beginning, it is absolutely clear that in addition to renaming the show with the inclusion of New Horizons in the title, wether down to increased budget or larger audience, has taken a new direction. It has in a sense 'grown up' though some may prefer the term matured.
No longer a humour laden parody of Star Trek, now more an alternative. Essentially what drew many of its viewers initially was the brilliant comedic talent of Seth MacFarlane, throwing caution to the wind with his endless ability to send up serious situations in a way only he can do. Using the years of Family Guy genius to bring a new spin on a genre which has always followed a strict format.
The Orville: New Horizons is still brilliantly written, that's not in dispute, but the humour is less, this is clear. I'm not sure if this deviation is to attract a bigger audience to entice the fans of the more established shows or wether the parody beginning was merely a way to get a foot in the door. We don't need another Star Trek spin off, season one was like nothing else, technically brilliant, great stories and funny, season two continued in similar fashion. Season Three lost some of its magic in my opinion, wether because of the more serious, more political storylines or the dumbing down in comedy. I think the balance has to be addressed.
