Reva and the inquisitors were comically terrible. They weren't the least bit intimidating or interesting, and many of the side characters were terrible.

If you have some key interesting developments to focus on, there's no reason to take such a roundabout way of getting to it where 80% of the episodes are uninteresting filler arcs no one asked for.
I agree with all of this, but the fan-service of Obi Wan versus Vader was enough to make me like this show even despite all its flaws.
