When did The Orville jump the shark? 🦈

Season 2, Episode 4

The episode 'Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes' introduced a sudden romantic subplot involving Captain Ed Mercer and a Krill disguised as a human. This plot twist, while interesting, diverged from the show's usual comedic and exploratory themes, leading to mixed reviews from fans. Some viewers felt it marked a shift in the show's direction towards more dramatic storytelling, which was not as well-received.
