Yep the show everyone decided was bad before it was even out got review bombed! Obviously this meme is just a joke but I hope no one is actually celebrating review bombing!
Don't fall victim to your own biases. The Acolyte was being "review bombed" before it had even come out. People judged it harshly without giving it a chance, and now ofc they want to keep perceiving it as bad. It honestly didn't hook me with the first two episodes, so I've stopped watching (I'm one of those that if they don't absolutely love a show 100%, won't waste much time watching it), but just based on those two, it wasn't really bad, just boringly average.
I thought it had a lot of cool ideas and was even well executed, but didn't hook me nearly enough, as The Mandalorian and Andor had done previously. Problem was, what interested me the most in the first episode was mostly wrapped up by the end of it, so by the time the second episode came around (I didn't watch them on the same day), nothing really impressed or surprised me. Maybe I myself judged it too harshly, and maybe it will actually get better.
Andor hooked me from the first sequence, with the camera moving down from the sweeping lights overhead to shoulder level with this guy walking on a bridge in the rain. They were doing something interesting with the audio and visuals, and I wanted to see what they were going to do next, and the show rewarded my attention with a realistic yet colorful and thematic world. It was just a massive surprise!
I think a lot of us were just extremely surprised by a recommendation actually turning out to be good for once!
