Hello! 
I've watched the show competly up untill now.
I like it.
Is it Trek? No... But it has a certain 'Trekkishness' to it.
Is it 'Star Wars'? Again, definately not as it's afore mentioned 'Trekkishness' is more predominant.
Now.. is it 'Hard core science fiction'?
Definately not. Heck the 'Expanse' is more hard sci-fi than anything else to watch about at the moment and even they invoke 'Space magic' which no one I know seems to bat an eye-lid at.
The Orville is what it is.
I like it... Yup, some things about it make me smile. Some things make me cringe. Some times the tales make me rage in exasperation. So far, however, I've found the level of the show to be worth watching.
Your mileage may vary.
