Everyone saying the Acolyte had bad writing either stopped watching at episode 3 or didn't watch it at all. Any normal person that gives the show a fair chance and watches it through to the end would enjoy it. I was skeptical at first, a hater halfway through, and a fan by the end.
Particularly, I really enjoyed how the Sith character showed a sympathetic and relatable side to the Sith that absolutely exists within the universe, but we don't get to see often, and had yet to see on-screen. Not a cackling evil cartoon villain, but a human being with human emotions and human motivations. Also I liked his arms. Oh my God his arms.
