I fell into the category where I just stopped caring about all these Star Wars projects and never watched it. When the 2nd season came out, I realized a lot of friends had said it's actually really good and decided to give it a shot. I absolutely loved it. I loved the themes and thought this did a way better job portraying just how dire the times were in this universe. I am also a sucker for spy and espionage movies, and this was up there with the best.
I am so glad I ended up giving it a shot, and I'm sad that I think there's a lot more people like me who won't end up watching it due to not trusting the content coming out anymore.
I ended up finally giving it a shot last month, and I recall having seen stuff about season 2.
I finished season 1 in 2 days, and then found out season 2 hadn't quite come out yet.
Then I did what I always do and waited for all the episodes to come out.. I got halfway through season 2 before my last month I'm paying for streaming services ran out.
So now I will indefinitely be halfway through season 2.
I should have started season 2 the day the last episode was released.

On a completely unrelated note, have you ever looked at the communities on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/ ?
I've lost my sea legs, unfortunately. It's been about a decade since I set sail and at this point I'm paranoid about any online interactions.
I wouldn't even know where to start with VPNs.
Is this what getting old feels like? Can I go back to limewire?
It's thankfully far easier and less dangerous than the limewire days of yore, and no VPN required as long as you stream it instead of plundering the booty to your cargo hold ^^
No idea about the VPN stuff but I just don't have the brain cells to spare for watching a Star Wars TV show. I watched the first 3 movies (Luke blows up the Death Star twice) and the first of the prequel movies (the one with Jar Jar) and gave up on the whole franchise after that. I only recently found out from Wookiepedia the amount of spin-offs and sidehows the thing has spawned. I still love this though (music video compressing the whole prequel series to 6 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpvlTVgeivU
