Star Trek was always promoting progressive values. The Orville also does it heavily.
The problem is when the messaging isn’t encased in proper storytelling and just shoehorned in. Then it just feels forced and preachy and usually makes for a boring watch.
And yes, modern Star Trek isn’t doing well in that regard.

At least I liked Orville. It gave me quite a few laughs. And bad acting is fine when it’s supposed to be a bit funny.
