The Orville has its hits and misses as a show in general, but I've thus far preferred it too, for your same reasons, and because more of it's episodes left me walking away feeling both wowed and with something deep to think about. I don't get that with Discovery.





There's a part of me that wants to like Discovery more than I do, but I keep getting hung up on on the things I don't agree with it's style or approach, and the story it told for this first season really didn't click with me. In fact, I didn't find that first season all that impressive or interesting...more routine and run of the mill. It didn't help that Discovery felt like it really wasn't that committed to it's wartime story, seeming more interested in focusing in much of anything else instead (personally, I think they should've not gone the war route at all and instead focused and expanded upon that mirror universe twist, but that's me). Season 2 seems a little more promising from the previews, though, so we'll see for Discovery.





Absolutely going to be watching Orville's season 2, without question though.
