We got 20 minutes into episode 1 and my wife was bored/annoyed by the dialogue (the scene where he's hitting on the girl in the bar) and basically walked out.
I watched the rest, and it was OK, not very much happened and it didn't really end in a way to make you want to watch episode 2. However, based on my interest in general and the good reviews I will persevere just at a slower rate as I'll need to watch after she has gone to bed and that slot has a lot of shows to get through!

Give it a least 3. It gets much better. But it is a slow burn tho....
This binge thing is beyond annoying as we are almost through Mindhunter (two eps a night will do that) which is slow burn brilliance for me and no Legion or Preacher to watch either - Partner hasn't seen any Stranger Things (and I haven't seen any of S2 yet) so will probably watch that next along with Season 2 of Humans and Utopia. He won't watch Discovery as thought the first 2 eps were beyond dull ! - This has just come onto my radar ..
Only 2 eps left of Mindhunter and easily my favourite tv of the year - love the slow burn, great character development, acting and complete lack of effects and shouting for dramatic presence. My partner has been totally enraptured too who is usually fussy beyond belief. Can't recommend enough. PS saw the Radius film yesterday which has been on my radar for a while, enjoyable enough but Christ that ending with the extra plot stuff they shoe horned in ? wTF ? Couldn't shake off him looking like Chris Pratt either...
Firestorm is a surprisingly unnerving episode of The Orville for the most part. Reminiscent of some Classic and TNG episodes but far scarier.
And while previous episodes have included actors from ST series, this is the first to have an old ST series regular (from a show the director worked on) as a guest star.
Emoticon and contraction free since... quite a while ago.

I did enjoy it, but it was a shame it was so obvious so soon what was going on.

I only became certain it was not really happening to the characters once Gordon was killed about two-thirds in (hence "for the most part"). Everything prior could have had a reality- or mind-warping SciFi explanation (perhaps something physically manifesting people's fears) and Nurse Park had only been a minor recurring character.
