Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Admiral Tucker orders the Orville to investigate the disappearance of two Union anthropologists undercover on a planet akin to 21the century earth. The captain must stand by observing Kelly's small away party, including suitably empathetic doc, Alara -who headdress proves inefficient- and lieutenant John LaMarr, whose childish dance on a statue is considered an utter outrage. The society has no actual authorities, just a system of voting by the general public on everyone's behavior, and John's is deemed bad enough for tele-voting which may result in 'social correction', a primitive electric brainwashing.

Another reviewer just about took the words right out of my mouth. This episode is as if the writers of Saved by the Bell were tasked with writing for Black Mirror. It's almost impressive that this episode manages to be both heavy handed and heavily watered down. "What if Reddit were a planet?" There. Your mind is as stimulated as it's going to get. You could just watch the cold open and get the gist of the entire episode. Better yet, don't.
I'd prefer not write negative reviews, but I found myself legitimately frustrated. This series started shaky, got a little bit better, and then fell into a pit.
Maybe there's still hope for the show, but this episode is trash.
