I just started in on The Orville with my girlfriend 3 days ago, and I've gotta say, it's capturing a lot of what made TNG good better than Discovery, and the humor is better than The Lower Decks. Somehow, the Trek parody series is doing Trek more justice than the actual franchise properties.
Not to mention, the nostalgia is off the charts. The set designs and costumes scream 90s while still having a perfectly-modern production quality on closer inspection. Costumes like the ones on Sargus 4 (S01E07 "Majority Rule"), with their conspicuous "upvote/downvote" badges remind me of so many thrown-together costumes of the TNG/DS9 era. It's great.
