Movies & TV

i've seen people say the first few episodes are a little slow, but i still like them. there have been 3 main arcs so far, and all 3 have had very different climaxes, but all of them are amazing. super worth watching.

the show features

• the worlds most pathetic incel rent a cop
• several debates about revolutionary politics that make it clear that the showrunners have done the reading
• actual, no bullshit queer characters with names and personalities and major roles in the plot
• some of the tensest action scenes i've ever seen
• no force stuff or jedi 10 episodes in, and even the big imperial symbols (stormtroopers, tie fighters, star destroyers) take a long time to show up and are treated as more than disposable enemies, and as genuinely frightening and evil tools of fascism
• "what if aoc was secretly funding maoist guerillas in latin america"
• the showrunners asking "what do the imperial bigwigs think of all this? exactly what the american equivalents do!"
