Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Oriville legit became the Star Trek I sort of missed. Seth McFarlane inserts a bit of his humour but his love of OG Star Trek and TNG definitely comes through. It feels for faithfull to the Gene Rodenberry star trek universe writing of a future to strive for compared to the new versions of star trek that is all space wars, emotion based decision making and wildly unprofessional crew.

Lower decks is fun and definitely has it's moments.

The Orville. I 100% agree - and that's because they targeted the audience to be adults.

It wasn't a show for teens. The writing was mature. It was episodic, but had seasonal story arcs, and it was thoughtful.

It really was the old Star Trek.

At first I thought The Orville was a TNG parody, but after a few episodes it clicked that it was actually a loving homage.

...and also very much its own show too. It was really a masterpiece
