The Acolyte really helped me. I was in the hospital paralysed, then i watched The Acolyte and then i stood UP just to crush the TV

Palpatine: Did you ever hear of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?                                                                                                                    Anakin: What happened to him?                                                                                                                                   Palpatine: He appeared in The Acolyte.

Putting Yoda and Plagueis in this show is like throwing two pieces of clean tissues into a shit filled dumpster. I mean what's the point...

Dang, the Acolyte is so bad it's forced Charlie to speed-run sobriety.

The biggest problem with the Acolyte is that characters motivations change on a dime with no explanation. Mae probably changes her mind twenty times across the series.

Turns out the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise was him being put into the Acolyte.

The stupidity of one, the arrogance of two, the hubris of Disney!

The funniest but worst line in the whole series is Osha going: "I'm not so easily corrupted". Absolutely hilarious because she gets corrupted immediately and forgets that her sister tried to burn her alive and her new master just slaughtered a few innocent Jedi for no reason but "I guess I'm Sith because I don't want the Jedi to tell me I can't kill whoever I want!!!"

Must be talking about acolyte lol

“There’s no way for me to talk about it without getting into spoilers..”
All good, Charlie. Thanks for watching it so we don’t have to

In sci-fi writing, this is known as an "Idiot Plot". From the Turkey City Lexicon: "A plot which functions only because all the characters involved are idiots. They behave in a way that suits the author’s convenience, rather than through any rational motivation of their own. (Attr. James Blish)"  This writing is flagrantly bad. What do I mean by that? :No one cared about crafting a coherent story, building characters, or basic editing for errors (like burning stone buildings) because they knew it didnt matter- just slap Star Wars on and you are guaranteed a certain amount of viewership. The Acolyte is an exercise in cynicism and laziness.

It took me until 3:28 to realize osha was a character and Charlie wasnt referring to the occupational safety and health administration

“Have been drinking?” Yes😎

The mind wiping is most notably an ability in KOTOR (Knights of The Old Republic). However, it took an entire Jedi Council to pull it off, not just one person can do it

the show's biggest mistake was naming the main character after the occupational safety and health administration

The problem with them trying to make the jedi look bad is that they made the coven act so horribly that it justifies the jedi's actions. The mother, instead of trying to de-escalate the situation, randomly turns into some ominous smoke being and tries to dissolve Mae. (In interviews, this was described using the same phrase as they used for cutting a moth in half. Along the lines of "returning to the force"). The coven constantly escalates the situation they're in when there is no need to. The writers are telling us the jedi are bad while showing us the opposite, and then because they have no self awareness they won't write the jedi as being able to explain themselves in any of the dialogue.

Sol had to kill her to save Mae's life, but for some reason he doesn't ever just explain that to Mae or Osha. Everyone in this show is either incredibly stupid or a psychopath.

What's even funnier is that the Witch lady actively antagonized Sol and Torbin before Mae walked into the room. She proceeded to threaten and mock their entire organization when she had no reason to.  She quite literally had MULTIPLE chances to just tell the Jedi what she was going to do, but instead, she had to act like a prick because she was full of herself. Her turning into a smoke monster demon ghost thing and being stabbed for it was 100% deserved.

Also while she was turning into a demon thing, she is actively turning Mae into smoke as well...like Shes about to kill her... WHAT did she think was going to happen and how did she think Sol was going to respond???

Lucas created the Prequels to tell a story about how a prophesized and gifted child could lose his way and become the most powerful and feared figure in the entire galaxy, and then Leslye Headland thought, "I can do that too but with worse special effects, more wooden-acting, inconsistent character development, even more awkward dialogues, and a plot that doesn't make sense, but with a bloated budget of $180 millions."

Not to mention, when she is force choking Soul, she is sporting her trademark blank face. During one of the angriest moments for her character. A-tier acting.

What the mom did was akin to pulling out a very real-looking gun, get stabbed, then say "ohhh I was just about to play laser tag."
