Seth MacFarlane Mourns How ‘Dystopian' and ‘Pessimistic' Hollywood Has Gotten — But There's Still Hope

If you've been a bit bummed out by the dystopian storylines in film and television lately, you're not alone — Seth MacFarlane readily agrees. That's why he's going out of his way to offer some hope. Appearing on SiriusXM's 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name' podcast hosted by Ted Danson this week, the 'Family Guy' creator explained that he created his show 'The Orville' specifically as an antidote to some of the bleaker stories onscreen nowadays.

'That's why I did that show,' MacFarlane explained on Wednesday. 'Because when I was a kid, Hollywood was providing that voice in various forms. There was a lot of hope, and we're doing a really — you know, some of the blame lies right here in this town.' 'Like, the dishes that we are serving up are so dystopian and so pessimistic and yeah, there's a lot to be pessimistic about,' he continued. 'But it's so one-sided. There's nothing we're doing that's providing anyone an image of hope.' MacFarlane pointed to Hulu's 'The Handmaid's Tale' as an example, though he was quick to note that he loves the show itself. 'It's a great f–king show, beautifully written, beautifully directed, but it's — there's a lot more of that than there is of what we used to get from Captain Picard,' he lamented. MacFarlane also called out shows like 'The White Lotus' and 'The Sopranos,' though once again pointing out that they're excellent series, objectively. So, the writer and director called on fellow creatives to add more aspirational characters and stories to the mix. 'I think if we did a little bit of that in this town, even just a little bit, we actually, that's the only thing, really, that Hollywood can do that's worthwhile,' he said. 'What we do well is tell stories and we're not doing the best job right now of telling those stories in a way that gives people hope,' MacFarlane concluded. 'And I think that's part of the problem. And that may be like an oversimplification of things, but I do think that's — it's incumbent upon us to take a good f–king hard look at that and see what we can do to change.'The post Seth MacFarlane Mourns How 'Dystopian' and 'Pessimistic' Hollywood Has Gotten — But There's Still Hope | Video appeared first on TheWrap.

Advertisement 2. After steering clear of most things Trump, ' ' has gone scorched earth in the first two episodes of its 27th season. We've seen the president literally in bed with Satan, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem blasting away at random dogs. The season has already taken on ICE, religion in schools, and even its corporate parent company, Paramount, which recently inked series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to a $1.5 billion streaming contract. What will episode 3 bring? Find out Wednesday night on Comedy Central. 3. John Grisham's novel 'The Rainmaker' was adapted into a 1997 movie, starring Advertisement 4. The British have long been neck-and-neck with the US when it comes to the brazen social experiment known as reality TV. Wednesday brings the season 2 premiere of the Netflix series 'Love Is Blind: UK,' in which singles from across the pond court each other and hope to fall in love — without laying eyes on each other. Because beauty is more than skin deep and all that. 5. The Kansas City Chiefs, the team that took over from the Patriots as the NFL's reigning dynasty (even if they got throttled by the Eagles in the Super Bowl in February), get the full docuseries treatment in 'The Kingdom.' The series premieres Wednesday on ESPN, ESPN+, and Disney+. I probably won't be watching; I got enough of Patrick Mahomes and Co. after they downed my 49ers in two recent Super Bowls.
