Three episodes into The Acolyte, I remain intrigued by its portrait of the Jedi as officious and demanding, to the extent that they can be outright disrespectful to other cultures and their norms. Go to Full Review Maria Lattila Film Stories 08/09/2024
It feels rare to get an episode this early on such a high-profile limited series that is solely focused on giving us backstory and motive. It’s a real treat, even if Leslye Headland’s series is still far from subtle with its symbolism. Go to Full Review James Whitbrook io9.com 07/05/2024

In the end, yeah, things bothered me in this episode, will probably bother other fans. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
