  • An illustration of everything wrong with Hollywood, US and the West

    The Idol's first episode is graphic, disgusting, and quite frankly make me feel a bit sick.

    Hollywood is now totally dominated by satanism and over-sexualisation.

    This episode demonstrates pure deprivation, similar to the fall of Rome.

    I was, however, impressed with the sound design. The music did evoke emotions and was posited well. The cinematography was impressive too. Some of the frames were extremely well positioned. HBO have really upped their game in recent years.

    The image grain also adds an alternative impact on screen. It provides a retro vibe.

    Yet, this show makes me feel like the West is crumbling.

    This show just demonstrates that we promote demonic over-sexualisation and women are harmed in the process.

  • Impressed. Great characters. Clever allegory.

    This is a really intriguing show.

    I love the slow pace, it gives weight to the story.

    It's not a rush. It's not full of messy CGI and galactic level threats. The multiple streams of storylines work together well and will intersect well further along the storyline.

    The tension from a single tie fighter was so well done. Each character feels unique and not shoehorned into the story.

    The cinematography is beautiful. The score is fantastic - NB has done extremely well. It feels and sounds almost analogue. The music is crafted to the story unlike Holt's Kenobi score which was a total disgrace and utterly dreadful.

    Really enjoying this show so far.

  • Disappointing. Underwhelming. Boring!

    The first 15 minutes of this episode was GOOD. Prequels recap was emotional and seeing order 66 again inside the temple nearly brought a tear to my eye. Furthermore the Inquistor's landing felt menacing, and the Grand Inquisitor's interrogation scene was thrilling like Hans Landa's in Inglorius's open scene. It was all going well until random, angry, unexplainable Reva starts wanting to chop people up for no reason? She's a Sith, not a bandit. Sith are calculated, ruthless, evil. She is just an angry woman. The dialogue just goes from bad to worse. Ten year old Leia outchases adult bounty hunters and makes one of them walk into a tree branch. That was genuinely painful to watch. Leia and Bail's dialogue is BORING. I zoned out. So many plot holes - how does Reva know anything about Obi Wan? How did the Jedi die in Anchorhead - what was the point of that whole scene when it had no emotional impact? Unfortunately this episode was an utter disappointment. As a lover of ROTS and clone wars, I just want to see GOOD emotional Star Wars. This was a boring, bland, feminist doctor who soap. It was BAD or even worse than Boba Fett which is levels below the quality of Clone Wars and The Mandalorian. We were so blessed with the Mandalorian, yes it may have not been perfect, but wow didn't it deliver - even its first episode !!!
