Orientation aside, as a relatively avid fan of the series as a whole, you should find Lower Decks to be a detail-heavy love letter to Trek. I will note that the first season is a bit too Rick and Morty, but like TNG, season 2 improves considerably.
But is The Orville first or Lower Decks? (In preferred watch order, obviously they are different universes) I hear the former. And then The Expanse before either. And then maybe The Foundation? So many great shows to watch!!! I can’t keep up though!?!?!?
Haven’t done Foundation yet, though I’ve heard good things. The Expanse, being the more hardline sci-fi series, could be watched in tandem with either The Orville or Lower Decks for the sake of occasionally breaking up the tone. LD is complete, whereas Orville is supposedly still coming back. Would give you more to enjoy later without interruption.
Oh, haven’t had the (reportedly?) extreme pleasure of watching that yet, thanks for gently setting me straight! (Or gay, or whatever Kayshon is:-P)

Watching something done is definitely a strong plus in my book! 📚
