It shouldn't come as a huge surprise that one approaches ' The Acolyte ' with a certain amount of trepidation.
Of the four episodes made available for press, 'The Acolyte' spins up a brand-new world of aliens, planets, and political dynamic. The Republic is in its zenith, the Jedi are abundant and in their prime, and there's no immediate danger or threat looming against it. The series creator, Leslye Headland, is perhaps best known for her work on Netflix's excellent 'Russian Doll', which starred Natasha Lyonne.
There's a definite sense of trying something new in 'The Acolyte', with directors like Kogonada and Headland herself taking the reins and pulling it in different directions. Indeed, Kogonada's episode is a self-contained yarn about how the twins came to be and plays out like a kind of gothic fairytale with a dazzling guest turn by Jodie Turner-Smith.
