You have deep issues regarding your tastes. Don't tell me, you also enjoyed the Star Wars prequels. I know such people actually exist, and like Bush said about the fish, I too think we can coexist in the same planet, but barely!
Nah, I thought they were mostly stupid. I didn't think we needed a story explaining everything before the first 3 but I've already said what I think about what happens when people over-explain a universe. But I stand by what I said. TNG is needlessly hokey and I couldn't even break out of the first season of DS9. "It get's better in season 3!" is not enough a reason to push through.
Regarding the overthrowing government episode, I don't even know what you're talking about. As far as I can remember, there was no such Orville episode? The one with the Big Dumb Object in space had no such overthrowing?
So what do you think happens when a group of outsiders overthrow a potentially several thousand year old theocracy that beats people to death in the public square for not believing? Two things happen. The leader reasserts himself and incorporates the ship into their way of thinking and purges his enemies to retain control or the "resistance" goes all French revolution and the people have mass panics because their entire lives have been lies. We can't even get people to accept climate change in this country. How well do you think these people will take "haha, your beliefs are a lie!"

Well, it's still a better chance than driving themselves into the sun, which was the point of overthrowing their government in the first place for the Orville crew, if that theocracy hadn't been overthrown they would all have died shortly after.

I'm not arguing against that point. It's still the right thing to do but it kind of glosses over the serious ramifications this society is going to hit. I'm trying to keep this vague because I like this line of thinking but don't think it should be only hidden in spoiler tags. It would be nice if this was touched on more. I know I just said "Dude, just entertain me" but it has to be somewhat realistic. I don't think all these "Oh hello spaceman, thank you for teaching us the true way, we will now begin peaceful changes" is entirely accurate. That society was just given a ton of power and had its beliefs toppled. There's going to be murders
