The Orville definitely has done a lot of socio- / politico- / econo- commentary. I'd have thought it was hard to miss, especially with the discussion of genocide against the Kaylon. It also features a race of homosexuals who have a thing going on with gender reassignment surgery. The Orville teaches us that, throughout history, and with all likelihood in to the furthest reaches of time, humanity will struggle, or not, with approximately foibles and philosophical issues. Probably nothing new to most viewers of the overall genre. Star Trek TNG wasn't particularly funny, certainly not comedy. It'd have been great if The Orville was on when I was watching TNG the first time.
