The Acolyte...Episode 1: Overall I thought was meh, I’m not invested in the characters yet, so it’ll take some time. You can’t just start killing people off and expecting the viewer to be totally invested in the death of these characters. You have to spend an episode or 2 to get used to them, build their story, let us connect with them, then in episode 3 or 4 or something, they start dropping like flies, and everything just takes off super fast because of the exposition from the first 2 episodes. by Star Wars Theory
