He's extremely relatable.

Woody Harrison's sideways stares after a Rust monologue might have been the best thing about that season.

I'm just going to assume you meant Harrelson.

Chio, if you haven't seen it already, I think American Gothic would be something you'd be really into.

The ending to TD season 1 sucked though.
Should have stayed nihilistic til the end instead of getting all corny.

I don't think it necessarily wasn't nihilistic.

Spoiler for spoilers:
Rust found god and was willing to see the world in a better light which allowed him to ignore the rest of the pedophile ring still active. This could be interpreted as saying that to be happy you have to give the horrors of the world your tacit approval or else you'll drive yourself crazy.

I'll have to rewatch it before being able to judge how contrived that interpretation is.

Well, hell. I have a few episodes of The Orville on my SKY box, and when I saw MacFarlane himself was in it, I really wanted to delete them. But I decided to give it a chance. Now, if you're looking for something that will make you laugh till your sides ache, let me repeat one word: MacFarlane. Nobody will pretend that either Family Guy or American Dad (or, god help us, The Cleveland Show) ever approached being consistently funny. In fact, you could take a season of either show and you might get enough funny bits to make up half an episode. If you're lucky. So again, if you're looking for a show that will make you piss yourself laughing, look elsewhere. There aren't that many laugh-out-loud moments, at least in episode one and I have it on good authority that that trend continues throughout the series.

However, if you're looking for a fairly decently-written sci-fi show that pays homage to Star Trek, doesn't rip the piss out of it effectively enough but just enough to make you smile occasionally; in other words, a sci-fi show with a dash of comedy, or, to be more precise, a sci-fi show that doesn't take itself too seriously, then you might enjoy it.

All I know is that at the end of episode one I was saying "Yeah, not bad" and actually looking forward to the next one. Oh, and I managed to get past watching Mac's smarmy, self-satisfied mug. So yeah, I may stick with it. Give Mac his due: he can write (or have written for him and take the credit for) some not too bad sci-fi ideas. Could be interesting.

Say what you want but McConaughey's final performance at the end of S1 was some of the best acting I've ever seen.
