This is easily my favourite Star Wars show. Yes - ahead of The Mandolorian. It's quite possibly my favourite Disney+ show yet. Indeed it's easily one of my best shows of the year.
I love the pacing of it, which absolutely is slower than usual. And it takes time to reveal its plot. But this is what I want from a Star Wars show - something that explores characters away from the, by now, overly familiar ones. And this is an "adult" take. It's still PG-13, but it's dark, imaginative and addresses things in a different way. It's incredible that this much money has been spent on a show with these kinds of ideas. It *might* work better if all the episodes were available at once because I'd happily spend several hours at a time in this world. The various strands are only now being pulled together, but with just a few episodes to go, I don't really know where the show is going to finish. And I like that. I want to be surprised. I want more than a final boss-level battle, something far too many Marvel/Disney series end with. And the style of this show is up there with Severance - there are definite parallels between the two. Also some recent episodes were shot at the heavily disguised Barbican Centre in London - a major arts venue here that has a Brutalist architectural style. It was entertaining recognising corridors and stairways I know well. Disney has a whole Star Wars world to explore, and they really need to delve into them with different types and styles of shows. I'd be very happy with more of this!
