Been watching the first episodes of The Orville and I've seen enough to make some comment now, it's very watchable and reasonably amusing. Thank god it isn't just chock full of Seth MacFarlane's crass obvious comedy. Episode 3 was an attempt at a more serious one and it intentionally caught the essence of one of those frequent episodes of Star Trek TNG that tackled some great moral/cultural conflict between different planets, which was always an analogy to every day issues now on this one. Quite impressed that they are showing a genuine love for TNG which doesn't appear to be the case with the real new Star Trek show, which looks pretty dour and overly dramatic. Something TNG never was.
