Aren't most things these days given fresh scores? Does not mean much at all. Critics are infamous for rating bad things as good anyway. Everyone should know this by now. RT's system is so weird and misleading as well, as that score could be 93% 6/10's or 93% 10/10s.
People don't pay critics' scores much mind, but the audiences' scores, that's where the truth's told, and this truth is so low it's swirling in the bowl.
Eh, I don't think either should be paid much mind. Critics are incentivized to rate things highly, yes, but audiences scores are generally much worse. A big chunk of audiences have brain rot due to too much social media and are easily swayed in what to think by reactionary YouTubers. They are far too extreme in their ratings, which is why everything is either "10/10" or "trash", with not much in between. Many of these people don't really respect the art of film and TV and just view it as disposable entertainment. They often watch while on their phones, or even watch stuff ON their phones.
I think the only people's opinions you should pay attention to are the ones who you trust, and people who just give their unadulterated opinions on things.
I'm not defending this show by the way. I haven't seen it and have no plans to any time soon, because I don't think it looks good and I don't have confidence in the people behind it.

I find it amusing that this supposed hated show has somehow managed 3+ pages of replies since I last saw it, while most of the rest of the forum is struggling for activity.

Ep 5 was decent. The series has good combat, and when they lean into that the episodes are enjoyable. When they rely on the writing and dialog it can be a struggle.
Mae might be the worst written character ever.

I find it amusing that this supposed hated show has somehow managed 3+ pages of replies since I last saw it, while most of the rest of the forum is struggling for activity. 1. It’s the only Star Wars on right now. All of the other Star Wars tv series won’t be out until the next television season. 2. For all of PR about upcoming movies there’s still no concrete release dates, physical production leaks, or even trailers. You can’t get excited about the presser buzz because history has shown its empty hype. 3. The show is unquestionably polarizing as far as fan base and viewer reactions. So even if this show were to prove to be a stinker after everything is said and done it shouldn’t be surprising that this is what people are still posting about because of the above listed factors.

Outside ofthe shows, the only other consistent Star Wars content is video games.
Honestly it's kinda wild that Star Wars under Disney has been mostly streaming shows.

There's a reason for that.

But why does it have to be watched if it's not good, just because it's Star Wars? There is tons of other Star Wars content you could check out or revisit while waiting for the next hopefully good show.

There is tons of other Star Wars content you could check out or revisit while waiting for the next hopefully good show. You’re assuming that everyone is (or has) been watching every episode. People can easily be involved in a discussion about it having only watched one or two episodes. There’s a few people on the thread that have admitted they haven’t even watched it. Just commenting based off of things they’ve heard. Again this shouldn’t be too surprising since it’s the only new thing going on right now.

The latest episode was apparently so bad it made even Grace Randolph call it quits.

There was a glimmer of hope because we were waiting for the other flashback episode…but that episode confirmed this show was truly doa.

They teased some kind of Kylo connection on a Twitter post I saw. Have they done that yet? I’m not gonna watch, so no need to worry about spoilers. I’m just curious.

Ive heard they used his theme music at parts but I couldn't tell you if that were true or not. I don't even remember what Kylos theme music sounded like.
