I mean, I'm not blown away when I watch this show (or Boba Fett either I guess) but I'm entertained and still enjoy them.
Then I come in here and it's just endless pissing and moaning lol
I see a lot of the dumb stuff too (like the trenchcoat escape), but whatever.

It's difficult to wade into threads about shows/franchises that have really passionate fan bases. It's also why I didn't want to gripe too much about the show as I've been in your situation before, too. However, sometimes I like to venture in to see if I'm truly the only one that finds a show bad.
The overwhelming praise for the series after the first 3 episodes made me feel like maybe I missed or wasn't getting something. After I watched the 4th it just reinforced that the poor aspects of the show are outweighing the positives. It feels like they are really wasting an opportunity to showcase one of the best characters in the franchise, played by an actor that has absolutely nailed the role to the wall.
I just can't unsee things like zombie Raiden delivering his lines like a 1990s cartoon character. In general the villains are really hindering the series, and the acting has been mediocre to poor. I'm surprised to see people praise the Leah character when I find her one of the weakest parts of the show. I feel bad criticizing a child actor but woof. The 'interrogation' scene was a masterclass of poor acting.
Don't mean to drag people down, but I was quite looking forward to this series because of the Obi Wan character and I'm disappointed. Thankfully, there appears to be plenty of posters that are enjoying it and finding redeeming value. Actually, it's some of those posts that help keep me watching. It also appears to be reviewed quite well, and it's great to see the larger SW community rally around Moses Ingram.
I want to like this show.
