Still cracks me up that Orville went from Star Trek parody to best Star Trek

Agreed. Scratch many parodies with your fingernail and you find it's only a thin layer of mock-ridicule over almost total earnestness. Orville stuck around long enough to get that veneer almost entirely scuffed away. So fun.
Some hard exceptions, though. eg. Amazon's The Boys.

Was true until Strange New Worlds, I think; although only two episodes in, but good so far.

I love the Orville. I think it’s a less socially sanitized Star Trek and therefore more engaging (was going to say “credible” but then I remembered it’s a bunch of space ships flying around).
