You've tried as hard as you can to shit on this TV show but you're just making a fool of yourself, at this point you just look like you're too dumb to appreciate it. Go find some titties and 'splosions to entertain yourself.

I've seen all the episodes as my kids watch. Their only comment after the first season was over was when does Mando come back on.

But go ahead and fanboy this Disney grift dumdass.

You didn't hurt anyone's feelings. You're giving yourself way too much credit here. Like I said, go watch some titties and 'splosions.

What's wrong with tities and splosions? Maybe your more into hairy butts and dangling balls.

Tits and explosions couldn't have helped Star Bores Andor.

Listen, I won't tell anyone how to interpret art. Ever.

If you're trolling, fine, whatever. But if you're just banging on this just to bang on everything property related, I'd urge you to rewatch it.

I'll admit I was SUPER skeptical in the first episode or 2. I thought it was missing the mark. But when it hit its stride it really pulls hard. It takes a REALLY big swing and IMO it lands it.

A couple components here, that separate it from other Star Wars shit. For instance, I enjoyed Obi-Wan, but I enjoyed it despite its very severe warts. This one is different.

So if you hate all things property related (comic books Star Wars, etc), this is the easiest one to get by. There is very little that it leans on from a storytelling perspective. Virtually everything that has to do with the Empire are components we haven't seen. Moreover it does a really nice job of getting to the human aspects of a totalitarian government.

The other thing that separates it from other Star Wars installments is it is damn cold. Lots of mother****ers die horrible, unfulfilling deaths and everyone has to keep moving forward. That doesn't happen a ton in film in general, but it really does a good job of pulling you out of the hero archetype and tells a compelling, but very un-Star Wars story.

The format I can see could also be potentially offputting, but IMO it tells the story that needs to be told, not fitting some episodic format. Plus, if you view it as 3 movies, it may be an easier way to be palatable.

Outside of the stuff on the jungle planet, it's hard for me to find much fault in anything this thing does. It doesn't lean on any camp, it tells one hell of a compelling human story,

It's really good.

I won't say you're wrong, but from my subjective view of the series, I have to disagree.

This certainly explains a few things.

Disney grift? It's literally one of the best shows that came out in 2022 on any service.

Also, this show isn't for kids. Also doesn't appear it is for you either.

Why shouldn't a 16 and 14 yo not watch if they want? Some stupid Canadian rule?

Anybody can watch anything, but very few teenagers are going to like a slow-burn political drama like this. It's effectively Michael Clayton in Star Wars form (which is not surprising considering it is made by the guy who wrote and directed Michael Clayton). Excellent show and unlike anything that has come before it in this universe.

I kind of forgot about this and binged the last five episodes last night. I must admit that I was a bit put off when he was arrested and thrown in prison initially. However, I ended up absolutely loving how they handled it. Can't say I like it more than Mandalorian, but it may be just as good; kind of like how I personally prefer Godfather over Godfather Part II, but when I watch Part II I have to admit that personal preference aside it's pretty much equal. The idea of a nuts and bolts Star Wars series minus any reference to the force or the Jedi being this good is really amazing. Story, acting and production values are top notch. Still a real head scratcher how EVERYTHING Star Wars related is vastly superior to the last six numbered movies.

I guess I can understand how it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was definitely mine. As KCC said, it's Star Wars for grownups.

There were a couple of minor characters who were driving me nuts, because I knew I'd seen them in other things but couldn't quite remember what; the old guy from the prison sequence and the blonde resistance fighter. I noted that BL identified the blonde as the waif from GoT. My brain kept going to Amanda Plummer but obviously that was wrong. And the old guy was the doctor from Fifth Element, as well as one of the punks that Keaton's Batman roughs up in the first scene of the original '89 movie.

Anyway, well done.

As I've said before, I wish this bunch would rescue Star Trek the same way they've saved Star Wars.
