The Best Star Trek-Style Sci-Fi Show of the 2010s Wasn’t Actually Star Trek

Initially, The Orville was promoted as a comedic take on sci-fi, playing on creator Seth MacFarlane’s background with Family Guy. This caused a split among viewers – some expected constant jokes, while others wanted a more serious show. Season one received varied reactions, but by the second season, the show began to evolve and find its unique balance.

Prime Video’s Hard Sci-Fi Masterpiece ‘Fallout’ Saved the Post-Apocalyptic Genre

I’ve always loved post-apocalyptic sci-fi, but it feels like it rarely gets the attention it deserves. We get a few standouts now and then – things like Mad Max: Fury Road, or seriously great movies like The Book of Eli and The Road that don’t get nearly enough love. But Prime Video’s Fallout series feels different. It’s brought all that – the ruined worlds, the strange groups of survivors, and the story of how everything fell apart – to a whole new audience. It’s kind of like what Game of Thrones did for fantasy – suddenly everyone was talking about it! Now, phrases like ‘nuclear fallout,’ ‘power armor,’ and even ‘ghouls’ are becoming everyday terms, and I even find myself saying ‘okey-dokey’! It’s awesome.
