I was worried I was going to hate this series, but it is everything I had hoped for and then some. If you’re a fan of the books or the games, you will love it. They absolutely nailed it.

This film pulls no punches in cleverly highlighting the ridiculousness & hypocrisy espoused by US political system and corporate media. It did an excellent job of giving the audience an outsider’s perspective. In fact, I imagine this is exactly what the rest of the world sees when they tune in to American politics. If you are offended from a partisan perspective, then you completely missed the point that Jon Stewart was trying to make.

The first episode is a real mess and might leave you with a bad taste in your mouth from either the poor screen-writing or unusual editing, but I can honestly say that this show gets so much better. The characters really grew on me quickly, and despite the overly-dramatized college student stereotypes and a few shallow, one-dimensional personalities, I could not stop watching. Jake Manley and Sarah Grey have a unique on-screen chemistry that left me rooting for their characters, but in the end it was Vera’s (Katharine Isabelle) sassy moments and Hamish’s (Thomas Elms) subtle humor that really stole the show for me. This story was a unique take on the supernatural that does a surprisingly fantastic job of seizing its potential with regard to the overall plot. It will give you surges of adrenaline, have you laughing hysterically, and leaves you with a cliffhanger that tugs at your emotions and has you begging for more. I for one, will be devastated if Netflix decides not to renew The Order for Season 2.

Initially I was a little concerned with the “slow burn” storytelling that has been the modus operandi with Disney Star Wars series. But WOW does this show keep getting better with each episode. Ahsoka is by far the best series Disney has made to date.
