7.8.2024
“That’s a great wide shot,” Chris Daly, a reality TV producer for over 17 years, says generously. “That shot helps the cast not feel like they’re being watched, and the audience like it’s not a planned shot. It’s not a set scene, it feels more ‘real’.” I’m playing the demo for The Crush House,...

The Acolyte Episode 8 Review: Torn Between Risk And Safety
22.7.2024
The Acolyte is done, and now we are left to ask: In the sea of content that we are flooded with, does the finale achieve something deeper than just continuing to sell us the Star Wars brand?

11.7.2024
For those of you who’ve felt like any sense of real meaning was gone from the Star Wars franchise since it was acquired by Disney, you’re in for a real treat. The Acolyte episode 7 offers a kind of emotional intelligence and narrative pacing that I would normally associate more with that other...
The Acolyte Episode 5 Review: Stunning Battles, Shallow Characters
1.7.2024
After a slow episode 4, The Acolyte turns the volume all the way up on lightsaber battles with an episode that is worth every minute of screen time and then some. Featuring perhaps the best lightsaber choreography in Star Wars history, here the action takes priority over plot and character...
The Acolyte's Fourth Episode Is A Mundane Misstep
1.7.2024

The Acolyte Episode 3 Review: Star Wars Finds Religion In A Whole New Way
1.7.2024
Just because you can grab an audience with a name like Star Wars doesn’t mean you can keep their attention. With its third episode, The Acolyte introduces a theme so big and so important—religion—that if the show doesn’t take it seriously in the coming episodes, it may lose mine.Read more
The Latest Acolyte Episode Is Star Wars At Its Most Sexy, Deadly
26.6.2024
Star Wars is a lot of things, but it is rarely sexy. A few things spring to mind: Anakin Skywalker’s bare chest after a nightmare, Padme’s midriff in the fighting pit, or a sidelong glance from Han Solo, but in recent history the franchise has been somewhat devoid of sex and death. Kylo Ren and...
The Acolyte Episode Two Review: Exploring The Gray Between Light And Dark
25.6.2024

Disney Plus’ latest Star Wars series, The Acolyte, was always going to court controversy. The Star Wars fandom has an infamously vocal minority who are, for lack of a better term, bigots, and Lucasfilm had already promised to stand up to them ahead of the series’ launch. But after The Acolyte...
