It's about a cynical criminal turning into an anti-hero slowly. The acting is first tier from Skellen Skarsgard & Diego Luna. Probably not for those who do not enjoy grey nature of political subterfuge and slow struggles against oppression. Love the line "The Empire chokes you so slowly you don't feel it". Personally I like the theme about normal people fighting the Empire at different levels with different skills. Some hardcore SW fans might feels otherwise if they are looking for straightforward good vs evil, with Jedi vs the Dark side & lightsabers. As a SW fan in his forties, this is a great series that lends realism & more meat to the SW universe.
