The advertisements I have seen said this was not only the best Star Wars ever, but the best series in the last decade. I also see high reviews here. I am wondering what am I missing?? I am 75% through this episode, yet so mind numbingly bored I am writing about it on IMDB.

I am assuming this picks up soon and I will change my impression, but I am hoping that starts soon. I am sitting here what the characters do for fun? Hours long pep talks in the alps with what appears as no bathroom break, to people springing minor news on each other, to the blatant violation of the original George Lucas goal of an "old universe" leave me struggling.

This series jumped right in, very little background outside a bunch of small town Brits saying she could not be guilty. So I was curious what both sides were as I had not heard the story before. This series focused on the defense side, but only gave window dressing to the actual substantive testimony of some defense experts. So I thought good, we are getting past the fluff to fact. But then back to fluff and only a brief review of one prosecution witness. Then the horror of the conviction, and that single prosecution expert rethinking thier role. Great. But that was it, coupled with insults to America, and she was free due to a judge throwing out all judicial proceedings and going alone. Just be a man and cancel trial and decide from your pulpit. Then ending credits say it a British documentary. So now I understand the slanted story line. A baby killer walks free, congratulations Britain!!!

This installment actually kept my attention mostly. Unlike Specter this one brought humor. It was so silly I felt I was watching an episode of Archer. The scenes dramatic moments were so overboard as to be comedic gold. I found myself laughing at the effort I was watching, and the disconnected abrupt changes in flow left it busy and otherwise annoying if it weren't for the silliness. I watched this after hearing Amazon purchased this franchise, now I am questioning my Amazon stock holdings. It will be an incredibly large undertaking to find any sort of compelling plot line. I fear this franchise died with a view to a kill.
