I believe you are the first person I've read with a positive impression of The
Orville. This makes me think I might like a live-action Seth MacFarlane
vehicle. The minute of the show I checked out so far has a production design
pretty consistent with TNG, FWIW.
But I was in on Discovery by the opening credits, so maybe I won't care for it.
If we are going to quibble about timelines and technology, the action during
most of the first Abrams Star Trek film takes place in 2258, eight years before
TOS and two years after the first episode of Discovery.
Yes, I'm a mark, but that's been kind of obvious.

No spoilers, but I can’t help but be a little disappointed by ST:D. It was a
solid enough pilot, and the VFX was stunning, but I kept being distracted by
the production design Discovery is supposed to be set in the prime (TOS)
timeline, about 10 years before TOS, but the set design & available tech looks
like it was pulled out of the Kelvin timeline.
Far from a convincing argument to plonk down $$$ for CBSAA. I’ll stick with it
for a while, via other means. But based on what I saw tonight, I’m starting to
think that The Orville might actually be the better Trek series.
