I would agree with most of this if you just look at season 1. Then i saw season 2 and was like "wow, they really took it more serious this season". And then i saw season 3 and was like "This is the kind of storytelling i want to see in new star trek series". Season 3 just blew me away, i was impressed :).
And regarding the acting/costumes/prosthetics, won't really comment on that. It was all perfectly ok for me, no complaints, but i can get if for some people that's not the case.
It took me a while to get through Season 1 because the issues were more pronounced, and I can buy the narrative that it was sold as more GalaxyQuest than Star Trek, and then Seth and team pivoted with or without permission.
I am completely on board with the fact that it improved significantly. I can also see how if that type of storytelling is really important to your enjoyment, the Orville was the place. For me personally, the execution made it so that it never got past the point of "very flawed, but interesting and quirky and still pretty good."
