The Orville: Gently Falling Rain (2022)
Season 3, Episode 4
9/10
Ambitious
24 June 2022
The most ambitious episode of the entire series so far, and easily the best so far of season 3. The cityscape that takes center stage in the episode is a beautiful homage to Blade Runner, and probably some Tron in the mix. It features gorgeous CG, with a sumptuous, multi-spectrum, glowing color palette, and even a "Spinner" chase sequence included for a good measure.

The story of the episode serves as a thinly veiled indictment of right-wing nationalism and right-wing extremism in general, with obvious, biting allusions to Trumpism.
