That's on the writing. As someone has commented, the Orville may be derivative, but with the Discovery it's as though the network just gave a huge pile of money to people who had no idea how to script a television show. It's character-driven, but the characters are unappealing. The mash-up of Star Trek sci-fi and grimdark just doesn't work. And the dialog is awful.
I honestly don't know what the critics see. I get the impression a lot of people are deeply invested in this show doing well, regardless of what they're seeing week to week.
