I can see why someone might like Ahsoka, but calling it great is a huge stretch imo. I thought it had an overall likeable cast, but the story was weird and the pacing kinda slow. My guess is that people who liked the cartoon are the biggest fans of the series, while people who weren't are somewhat puzzled at times.

Lol at playing the misogyny card in this context as if female leads are something new or as if there aren't obvious valid criticism of Ahsoka.

I expanded on that comment about female leads later on, I do believe it's a part of the hate the show is getting

The tomato rating is 86 percent, that's pretty good for a live action show that's a continuation of a TV show from quite a few years ago

I acknowledge that they crammed alot into a relatively short series and your point about whether or not you had seen the animated content affecting how much you might enjoy it is sound

Ahsoka wasn't great. It was decent, with only fleeting "oh shit" moments for hardcore SW nerds like myself, and I'm someone who has seen all of the relevant cartoons (that's just a minimum). Ranks below the first few seasons of The Mandalorian, ranks above the third season and two of the other three series they've done which have been shitshows (Book of Boba-Fett, Obi-Wan). It felt to me like most of the first season of Ahsoka was exposition: world-building. And that world-building will be what links the original Star Wars (Ep. 4-6, 1-3) to the new Disney Star Wars (Ep. 7-9). It seems logical that Baylan Skoll somehow becomes or discovers Snoke, and sets into motion the rise of the First Order.

Andor is so far above and beyond the other live series it should be set in another universe. I'd rank Bad Batch as the second best show they've done behind Andor.
 
Watched S2E1 of Foundation and switched to Slow Horses S2E1. Maybe was just disoriented by the one guy having sexual relations with his robot nanny who changed his diapers.

It’s a really great story. The animation is so clean and vibrant. It’s definitely a pleasure to watch on screen for me, as I only read the manga before. It’s really well done.

I had never heard of it, so it is a completely new experience. And I'm blown away, on ep 5

The mangaka (writer) of Pluto also wrote Monster, which is also on Netflix. It is another mystery detective story, but with no robots. lol! I was obsessed with his mangas years ago when I first got into reading them. They are all very unique and incorporate a mystery and science fiction. I wonder if Netflix will end up with adapting his other stories as well, which would be pretty cool.

Definitely an odd part of the show, but it makes sense (well more sense) towards the end of the season.
 
Finished Slow Horses S2. It's a bit funny here and there. So many choices on Apple TV+ for what to watch next. Seems there's a spy movie, a Eva Green secret agent show, the supermodel show, the Ana De Armas movie, Mosquito Coast S2.
 
“the summer I turned pretty” is currently my jam. Excellent performances (Amazon prime)



Worth a go!
 
anyone watching Scavengers Reign? pretty fucking weird.
 
Watching Silo on Apple TV+. It's almost too slow moving and barely interesting.

EDIT: Almost finished with the first season and gets a bit more interesting the more they reveal.
