A true masterpiece. This is the most interesting piece of Star wars that's come out since Empire strikes back. The cast did phenomenal, the writing was good with plenty of fan service.
The show does an excellent job explaining how someone in power can abuse it without realizing, a lot like the police.
The poor reviews are from the politics behind the show and the interviews that were done very poorly. Some of the interviews left a bad taste in people's mouth, so they didn't like the show and couldn't get over it.
I let the show speak for itself so if you ignore some of the useless behind the scenes talk, and just focus on the show itself, it's amazing. Definitely a 8.5 - 9.0 tv show.
