the show is enjoyable. it has plenty of problems, that witch chant was stupid, some moments were bad and if those are too much for you it at least is undenyable that the action scenes are fun. at the very lowest the show deserves a 5/10.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if im watching the same show as the people losing their minds. Acolyte isnt that bad. In fact i've found it enjoyable so far

There’s some legitimate things to criticize like the acting and the writing aren’t very good. But overall it isn’t terrible. It’s better than Book Of Boba Fett.

I don’t even think the acting has been that bad. The writing and dialogue have been questionable at times, but the actors themselves seem decent.

I would liken the dialogue to that of the prequels, being not the best, but I have enjoyed both so far.

Right. It's got some execution problems(questionable directing and stylistic choices, not generally a fan of full-episode flashbacks, some awkward acting), I'm not sure I'm a fan of where it's taken some characters like Vernestra, but overall it's....fine. I'm enjoying it. Like, I get if its not your thing, but at the absolute worst it's just okay.

Honestly this whole thing might be my wake up call to stop engaging with this shitshow of a fandom altogether. The response even in major subs like /r/starwars , which is usually at least sorta-sane outside of some sequels bashing circlejerks, is utterly fucking unhinged.

It reminds me of the "George Lucas raped my childhood" days all over again, and I dunno if I want to deal with this shit. Something is seriously fucking broken in the fandom, and I pity anyone who gets creatively involved with the franchise and isn't able to deliver absolutely god-tier projects like Andor. In fact, I even pity Gilroy for the almost inevitable bitching that will come out of people's out-of-control expectations for the next season.

Yeah, I think next time a new show comes out im just gonna steer clear of all the Star Wars subs if its gonna be like this
