I’m two episodes into the newer season. Since it’s better than nu trek I may be over hyping it. There is a new trans episode? I remember the one from the first season with the all male species
The politics don't start until ep4 but ep3 was just weak on its own.
ep 3 ending promoted global communism, anti religion (which we know always means anti Christianity), and transhumanism as not only good but necessary
ep 4 was anti nationalist but made the "bad guys" look good so it it wasn't obnoxious

So, yeah, Orville is a letdown in a lot of ways but most of the time it's still watchable.
