It's not made for people with 30s attention spans. Good news though, there's a new run of TellyTubbies starting soon, maybe that's more up your street.
Why is it a "cheap" stereotype? She is meant to be a controlling, domineering and emasculating mother who is extremely resentful that her son neglected her for so long while he was in his last job. She plays the role perfectly.

I really don't understand the high praise it's getting here (mostly). It started off strong I agree - those first two epsiode were excellent, but it has really meandered since then. Slow (not in a good way), with soap opera level casting and acting for the most part. Andor/Luna is not a good enough actor to carry this...he's pretty awful in all honesty. Even when we do get the payoff, the action is pretty tame. Three episodes in the prison has been an absolute slog to watch/get through. When it's at its best it's a 6/10 I would say.
It's ok to be spectacularly wrong sometimes.

Tell me what's so fantastic about it - your favourite moments from it? It's all very forgettable.
There's no whiny child hiding under a cloak
Every actor other than Andor is excellent
The story is believable, the rebellion isn't all goodness, the empire has flaws
Look it's not perfect, however if you take the word starwars away it's a great standalone tv series.
Read the thread, I already made several posts explaining why.

The plan of escape was pretty damn awesome. A sad moment though without spoiling it.
yes thought at the start it was going to be another generic show but really fleshed out the background, the characters and get the audience invested on how dire the situation were and how desperate they were. Brillant. Pity Obi Wan never had the same treatment.
I thought Luthen's speach at the top of the lift in Episode 10 was one of the best bit's of script writing from Star Wars, well almost ever. Certainly post original films. Brilliantly delivered by Stellen Skarsgard. More of him, more of this please.

I need to learn to swim.
Man of Honour
You'd think it would come naturally and be easy as long as you know the movements.
The hard part is having the fitness unless the waters super choppy with waves, at that point fitness probably ain't going to help if you don't know how to swim with good form

You'd certainly give it ago but yea cold open water from that height most wouldn't survive the first couple minutes even if they could swim.
ahh yea the height, I'm guessing there would be a few broking legs etc or legs inside people's chest cavity.
People who couldn't swim would be latching onto people who can and drowning them too, shame they didn't show it as a really dark realistic scene that's pretty grim

Last Wednesday's episode was brilliant, the series was slow to get going but I'm happy I've stuck with it.
