Here is a really good analysis of the Acolyte in context of other starwars themes, and the critical communication issues that saw the viewership drop during the season.

No mention of politics, or vitriol here.

Another very good review, like 3 hours long: https://youtu.be/vpaHvUDo1dE

Thank you. These are excellent. I am a fan of star wars, but I definitely don't participate in backlash. I just don't watch the show! I knew this one was not going to be for me once I saw the premise.
