Praise for The Orville Season 1.5: New Beginnings:
” If you like the series as much as I do, it’s more of what you love. Recommended.”–Rogues Portal
“…with the nuanced writing of Goodman and the likeness of the characters crafted by Cabeza; Dark Horse could easily take the second star on the right and let the crew of The Orville fly ’till morning.”–Comic Crusaders
“If you’re a fan of the show, then it won’t hurt to dive into a book that only adds to the story. You aren’t even required to watch the show again to understand what is going on.”–Beyond The Panel
