For no reason either. At least that the Inquisitors know of. To not even question her as to why she would cause such needless (in their minds) strife is mind boggling

Imagine going to the White House and capturing the presidents child in the garden. That basically what just happened in the episode.

They bring it up in the next episode, the Grand Inquisitor is pissed at what Reva did. The problem in the next episode is they dont subdue her or anything they just let her walk away.

@@miguelzurita3216 Knowing that Alderaan was pretty neutral in it's loyalty to the Empire, I like to think this event turned Bail and the entire planet to full blown assist with the rising Rebellion. That's how much of a cockup job, Reva did.

They did yell at her though

To play devil's advocate, when she called him walking carpet it was in the middle of a stressful situation where she was on the run and bickering with Han not taking her seriously. When they manage to get rid of the pursuing TIE fighters assuring they escaped the Death Star for good, she happily embraces Chewie.

@@DeepEye1994 Nothing can excuse racial slurs. 'Walking carpet' is to Wookiees as the n-word (hard r, with whip crack) is to black people or 'Freedo' to Italians.

@@DeepEye1994 is she nice to 3po?

@@robertlewis6915 PFFFFT sorry but I need evidence it was something as bad an actual slur against Wookies (if it's outside the films, I don't care. If a game or some obscure comic decided to take Leia's comedic insult and turn it into something else, that's stupid), given that there's plenty hairy alien species in SW, hell you could call "walking carpet" a bear or a big dog. Racism and racial slurs are a social phenomenon. ONE single person does not constitute a race, and one person does not constitute a society. I'm pretty sure that if Chewie was a cyborg with a breather mask like Vader and Leia said "Get this metal face out of my way!" it'd be the same thing, just a stress-induced malicious nickname. This idea that it's racism is absolutely new to me and I'll be honest, it's pretty dumb. And if you say "Well, she didn't give him the medal, so she totally hates Wookies deep down!" congrats, I'm taking your points even less seriously.

@@sockpocketpre-alpha8258 Even if she wasn't, I wouldn't really care if she liked droids as a younger girl? I can kinda see her do that? It's not THAT much of a stretch? Mind you, I hate Disney Star Wars very much, but one thing is making Han super pathetic smuggler and getting him killed by his own son and regressing Luke into a grumpy idiot who was tempted to kill his nephew instead of talking to his mother, the other is a small girl liking droids because they're essentially big living toys to her, but then growing up, experiencing the horrors of war and not having that innocent outlook anymore, if I'm not mistaken it's something very common in real life, that people grow up and maybe don't feel the same way about liking something. I'm all for pointing out character contradictions, but only if they're ACTUALLY very questionable and contrived to allow the stupid story to happen (again Luke in TLJ), in comparison to Disney's other actual fuck-ups, Leia liking droids as a smaller girl is not problematic. If it was part of a good show/movie, I'm pretty sure nobody would care. "Know when to fold them" as they say. Don't worry, this Kenobi show still sucks for other reasons, I just find unnecessary making a big deal out of minor things that in a better piece of media wouldn't bother anyone. I guess I'm just a perfectionist, I want to hear good points as to why something is fundamentally broken, but I'm bothered by non-issues being blown out of proportion because it distracts from the bigger issues.

You and me both. My guess is that they needed good trailer lines.

My best guess is that he's lying to the younger Jedi to try to keep him from doing something stupid. Though saying "I have a plan, but for now we need to stay hidden" would probably be a lot more persuasive.

Wow. Really? Luke needs to be trained so he doesn't accidentally use the Force, you fucking idiot.

@@scienceviking4490 that actually sounds like Obi-wan, so we can't have that

he wants to train luke cause he senses doing so is essentail to stopping the empire, but doesn't believe that the jedi order can be ressurrected even if they overthrow the empire.

probably missed a few tbh

Wait, that's the entire show lol.

Regarding clones: from the Traviss EU Clone Commando novels, the Battle of Coruscant was a trap for Grievous prepared by gigantic accounting fraud to keep the buildup secret; this coincided with the Kamino contract winding down, and Sparti Cylinders set up on the planet itself, with radically shortened growth cycles, which increase abnormalities, aggression, efficiency, ect. This was probably how the contingency order brain chips seen in the Clone Wars animated series was implemented at scale -- longer lived Kamino clones notice they seem off, too, but the contingency orders are fine print they don't fuss about (only the Commandos really have the wherewithal and relatively unadulterated gene set to question and act on it freely.) OT era clones are cheap and disposable, and reliant on flash training simulations; basically babies with blasters, and commensurate spatiovisual noobs, despite being fully formed, which even experience can't redress fully.

You may have missed the point of the prequels. The point was that the Jedi were high on their own hubris. They had no warning system because they didn’t think they needed one. They were a completely defunct system. So much of their system was terribly designed, which was intentional, the Jedi were supposed to fail in the prequels, which they did. It was a commentary on Europe I believe. This beautiful utopia, gets into a devastating war and wipes itself out (ww2). The OT was a commentary on the US, the empire is the US and the rebels were the Vietnamese. How these plucky Vietnamese rebels could destroy the full might of the US military. Look into the politics, George admitted that he based many of the characters on political figures, like Bill Clinton etc

​@@johntonssen7231 But this was years into the Clone Wars and shortly after the battle of Coruscant. I'd have to rewatch it, but I'm pretty sure they had a rudimentary lockdown system in the Clone Wars when Cad Bane pulls off the Holocron Heist. I agree with you on the political aspects, that the Jedi were complacent in their ways and doomed to fail by the ultimate plan of the Sith. But even so, I think meditating in the temple whilst it is currently under attack and being completely unaware is too much of a stretch. At the very least, I'd expect them to hear gunfire and screams and sense a disturbance in the force. The younglings in ROTS at least tried to hide from the Clone Troopers.

if I capture his daughter he will ask Obi wan for help but then doesn't follow Organa to tatowinee where he meets Obi in person

why the hell would Luke be hiding on his father's planet and have the same last name.

The thing is, if Bail's connection to obi wan was known to so strong that one could reasonably believe that he both 1) has a means of communicating with him and 2) would be willing to come out of hiding in order to help him get his daughter back, Vader(or the emperor) would have already done it

Relying on the fact that the audience knows something the characters shouldn't is plagueing todays screenwriters

@@socialjihad5724 and yet despite the strong evidence now that they have this strong connection I doubt anyone will follow up with this after this incident.

That would’ve been incredibly cool. Like how the Mandalorian leaned into cowboy stuff early on, they could’ve leaned into samurai stuff with the lone Jedi, Kenobi. Too bad they picked a different plot.

Wait so this Bob is the reason that the Smurf marines are so lucky? Also how on earth did this man (if continuity is continued) then deadlift a pylon without the geneseed?

Well even the worst Legends material was better than Disney wars.

@@reverendrico5631 agreed, even Palpatine becoming a god is better

Bob Fett or Moviebob?

Yeah if they know bail is connected to the Jedi, wouldn’t that be enough to imprison him or just kill if his family and insert a puppet leader?

Especially because the Empire so so anti-Jedi, they wouldn’t even need to cite probable cause or anything, they could just swoop in there and bomb the planet to shit with Star Destroyers.

Exactly. Unless everyone undergoes a big, dumb, convenient mind-wipe so that they can all conveniently forget all of this, I have so many questions about what occurs between this show and A New Hope...

Not to mention, shouldn't it be nearly impossible to kidnap a princess? That by itself should make them not even consider the plan. But thanks to convenience they pulled it off with 3 incompetent bounty hunters who struggled to catch a 10yo. If the guards were watching her like they would have been, this plan can never happen.

She will be dead at the end of the show.

That would retroactively destroy the old movies like nothing else.

That literally happened in a Warhammer 40K comic with an established character when they went mainstream.

But that explains why TLJ Luke is so mad! He was the real one all along!!!!

@@zappodude7591 Well no, the only thing this would change is that Luke the baby in the final scene of Episode III isn't the same guy as Luke in the OT. It really wouldn't change anything continuity wise, it'd just be weird and pointless. TLJ wouldn't be affected because Luke would be replaced before the first time we actually meet him.

@@Paul-bs5wl No, you don;t understand!!! It's and epic Twist!!!!!!!

Seriously though, how does she know that there's a link between Bail Organa and Obi-Wan Kenobi? Wouldn't that raise so many questions in the eyes of the Galactic Empire? Did they know that he facilitated Kenobi's and Yoda's disappearance? And if so, wouldn't Vader, himself, seek out Organa and "question" him about Obi-Wan's whereabouts? Am I missing something, here? I'm so confused by this plot point...

Thus far this show has relied so much on convenience, like why would they even go to tatooine in the first place. Isn’t the whole point of this planet to be so far away from everything that it is the perfect place to hide and is the reason why obi wan didn’t get captured. Also how come they show up the exact location where the Jedi is and somehow also ask Owen about Jedi. It’s so stupid.

@@mourad505 She mentions in episode 2 that she found out that Bail and Kenobi fought together in the Clone Wars from the Imperial Archives. It is the most tentetive and weak link you could base your plan around.

@@nobody2996 Tarkin fought in the Clone Wars together with many Jedis. Looks to me he could be hiding Kenobi too.

@@nobody2996 Wait, that's even worse... I always thought Kenobi and Organa didn't really know each other that well until Bail hid him and Yoda during the Jedi Purge. And I never watched the Clone Wars series so there might be context that I'm missing, but let me see if I'm understanding this correctly... Bail Organa was close friends and allies with Obi-Wan, Anakin Skywalker's former master, during the Clone Wars; close enough that it was apparently put into record that they fought as allies during the war. Let's just gloss over that this guy was a senator during the war. He "fought" in the Clone Wars??? How??? In what capacity??? Was he a soldier, a general??? Were they running low on clones and started conscripting VIP's within the government to "fight"??? Also, did he give up his senate seat and monarchy to fight? Or do they mean that Alderran had a standing military that he pledged to the Republic? That's a weird line, a senator "fought" in the war... Let's also gloss over the fact that knowing Obi-Wan so well during the war must've put Bail into regular close contact with Kenobi's partner during the war, Anakin Skywalker. Organa also seemed to be a close colleague of Anakin Skywalker's wife, Padme Amidala. This guy was close with, quite literally, THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN DARTH VADER'S LIFE! Did Vader kind of forget (trademark D&D...) about his existence?! Or did he never know about him to begin with?! Because that's the only way I can imagine Darth Vader never trying to threaten or torture him for any bit of information about a mutual acquaintance! So Darth Vader doesn't give a fuck about Bail Organa, but this fucking rando inquisitor sleuthed around to discover this bit of trivia and decided "Maybe this guy will lead us to Obi-Wan Kenobi"??? Was she also planning to kidnap Dexter fuckin' Jetser too, or anybody else with the slightest bit of association with Kenobi?! These plot holes and contrivances are insane?!

The Owen v Obi-Wan scene was genuinely the only scene where I was like "This is fucking awesome, more of that please". Spoiler alert: We dont get more of that :(

@@simos6jipros154 Disney knows what the good stuff is for the marketing. That scene got trailer prominence. But they won't actually make the whole product as good as those select few scenes.

@@simos6jipros154 less dialogue and explanation, more action and pew-pew.

*"to the end of the galaxy"

@@albertocruzado2899 *to the end of tattooine*

Maybe Bail's actions here is what plants the suspicions in the Empire. Tarkin wasn't just trying to intimidate Leia into giving up the Death Star plans, but had a long, long track record of Alderaan acting seditious. According to Disney Wars: -Bail's daughter is kidnapped and instead of speaking to the local authorities, he contacts a wanted criminal accused of treason. -The Tantive IV was at the Battle of Scarif and stole the Death Star plans in full view of Darth Vader. Alderaan continued to support the Rebel Alliance, abused its diplomatic immunity, and committed espionage. Tarkin was within his rights under Imperial Law.

It’s the Empire and they are at the very top of it, he can surely control any galactic media and holonet sources so it never becomes public. What’s the point of being a dictorial Empire if you can’t control that shit, it’s a massive perk.

good point 👍

@Dyl Isn't Senator Bail a traitor to the Empire? It's proven he's working with Kenobi aka a wanted terrorist. Alderaan should be under siege and Bail rotting in the Emperor's dungeon

@Dyl they’ll retcon that he expected Kenobi to show up to rescue Leia

Because women are smarter in Disney Star Wars.

Cause Disney Star Wars is not canon and will never be canon.

The sand is a downside but on the upside the entire place is perfect for making Biltong, it's so dry!

Do we know Tatooine is actually covered in sand? Did anyone taste it lol? Maybe it's a salt planet like Crait, then open air meat would kinda make more sense.

The memes you would get off that would be awesome. Obi-Wan buying crossword puzzles and shit and it's all in Aurebesh the star wars alphabet and you have subtitles and it's just Obi-Wan trying to figure them out and they're all about the star wars universe and there's easter eggs galore and it builds up the lore aswell. Obi-Wan: Hmm, four letters, "Saying: There's always a bigger ...", hmm, i swear i heard this somewhere before. Master Qui-Gon if I ever need guidance it's now. Qui-Gon's dissembodied voice: Fish, Obi-Wan. There's always a bigger fish. Obi-Wan: Of course! Thank you, master. I knew I could count on you.

This is the only correct answer. Everyone is twisting themselves into knots trying to figure out a Kenobi show that would fit into the established canon when the easiest answer is - don't make a Kenobi show. We don't need to know what every main character was doing all these years. It is perfectly acceptable to say that Obi Wan took on the duty of protecting Luke seriously and despite the weariness of twenty years on a desolate planet he soldiered through and did it anyways. Why do we need a moral background about the failings of the Jedi? At the end of the prequels Obi Wan seems defeated but hasn't given up, and at the beginning of the OT he still seems enthusiastic about the Force and encourages Luke to learn. Did we really need a broken jedi storyline here?

Honestly, I would watch that. 😄 The Episodes would need to be shorter, of course.

@@aw7400 Thats what I was thinking, as much as I love Ewan McGregor this show is gonna age like milk, I really like the first episode of this show, but after episode two I'm kinda done with it, he saved Leia his adventure should be over now.

I'd be a little more enthusiastic, but this is his show, and I already can tell they don't have enough time to do the story they want to do without it feeling rushed.

I can't say it'll ever line up, but two force user kinda cancelling each other out does make sense, thus why we'd never see a fighter using the force to directly snap an opponents spine mid-fight.

That does make more sense, (similarly to good training helping out with lightsaber duels), rather than the alternative, (sequel trilogy level of bullsh1t). I can see an angle which would make the Inquisitors fit in-between the Original Trilogy and the Prequels, yet these bundles of sticks are cRiNgE and the whole show isn't even out yet.

@@unformedeight I personally lost interest when Kenobi when TLJ came out

Yeah it took me 10 seconds. The jedi didnt sense this, the troopers miss, the jedi spins and shit, then beckons the children into the fucking gunfire, then instead of just deflecting, does more spins causing their death

I knew there was something off about that scene. Also, how convenient that there were only a few clones chasing them (with the walkway noticably more abandoned than the floors below), allowing the children to escape once the three to six clones are dispatched.

the "stormtroopers can't aim" thing is a great example of what Disney is horrible at. They literally pander to internet memes for storytelling. They are based on real life shock-troops from World War 1 who would storm trenches, they are meant to be elite compared to just Imperial infantry but for some reason they are absolute dogshit STILL to this day because LOL. so they may as well not even be on screen.

Your comment got me thinking about this whole thing, I'm going to put it here. How interesting would it be to have an Empire character (who's in charge of some kind of squad) genuinely trying to help the Organas, like this is a period where the Empire isn't quite as corrupted by the Emperor, and it's trying somewhat to have good relations with other systems and hierarchies. This proposed Empire character could be an honest, devoted person that wants peace in the galaxy, and of course they're happy to be put on this detail to help save this senator's child. Then, if the show lasts a few seasons, maybe this character's relationship with the Organas sours, not by their own doing but by our good guys not being able to trust the Empire to any degree. You know, have this big climactic bit where the Empire character has a dispute with Bail, invoking "I put my life at risk to save your daughter, you really don't trust me?" Please, please Star Wars, let the Empire have some characters! You almost had it in that one Mando episode, with the happy Stormtroopers congratulating their friends that didn't blow up!

Alderaan should be under siege... by the Empire. They already know Bail is working with a terrorist

Also obi wan is just a single man without a star ship and has a big bounty on his head. He would be the very worst person to ask for help. Imagine how much easier it would be if he used a private army with about 200 trained men to look after her, they would gather intel way faster and there would be way less risk.

Peetty sure his wife is the Queen to boot.

and the reason Bail gives is because "you're the only one who knows her true origin" which is better for Leia how? In fact, Obi-Wan's knowledge of Leia's true origin almost gets her killed in a later episode. Disney Star Wars, everyone!

Let's not forget the most important part of all of this. It's established in ANH that none of the secrets come out so why even bother trying to tease it could happen? It makes as much sense as teasing Han or Chewie would die in Solo.

Could you imagine how good a show "could" be if the Empire is tasked to find Leia? Suddenly the Writers would have to make the Empire the good guys for this particular setting.

I’ve learned now over a decade that these movies should’ve just been left alone. These cash cows have literally made me hate these franchises to the point I don’t care to watch the originals

Yes, lets take every throw-away line and make a whole pointless and shitty series out of it! Oh god, your comment made me think of something awful. So in episode 3 of this show there is a throw away line about Kenobi barely remembering his parents, and a baby he assumes was his little brother... So one of the Star Wars geek channels (Star Wars Comics I think) says theres definitely going to be a story about Obi-Wan's long lost brother, and hes excited for it... I wanted to vomit.

Really it's mostly just Disney. If you take Disney out of the modern landscape, there's a lot less of that.

@@Paul-bs5wl I dont think its "just" Disney though. Hollywood in general is creatively bankrupt. Almost everything green lit and high budgeted is a spin-off, a sequel, or remake of some kind. And its always a twisted perverse version of the original, and never reaches the quality of story telling that sold the originals in the first place.

I think the only semi ok film to come out that contextualized off screen events was rogue one, which was not even good but at least it wasn’t horseshit

The plan is one every friday.

@@Bilbosilius_Zwackelbaggins I can't wait for ep 3...

@@apkaiser96 Me neither. Only heard great things. Can't wait to finally see them happy with a SW show... *cough*

It isn’t great, but it’s leagues better than Mandalorian and Boba Fett

Mauler said he plans to release all 3 before next Friday.

I agree, they've sucked all life out of Tatooine, as if a desert planet had that much to begin with. The world of Star Wars feels so small...

@@catchupichu “man we have a Disney level budget and a story that takes place in an entire galaxy where people can travel between it in the blink of an eye, with thousands of different cultures and species and planets, where should we put our stories?” “tatooine” “But we’ve already been there.. and it’s been fleshed out enough and there’s not much else we can do with it.. what if we have them go to like a rogue planet covered in ice and have that story take place in the ocean there? or we have them go onto a gas giant where there are colonies floating high in the atmosphere since there’s no solid ground and only a sea of gas when you get low enough?” “no tatooine” “Ok.. maybe we’re gonna start the show on tatooine, then take them off after an episode or 2?” “no” “The entire season.. on tatooine?” “yes” “Ok.. can we at least have a new location on tatooine? maybe explore some of those caves of gorges we’ve seen?” “no” “.. Ok.. so mos eisley area.. again.. Can we at least have many different alien species there?” “no” “…”

@@catchupichu yeah that’s the crazy part! The streets in the Kenobi and Boba shows look so… bland. In the originals you had so much going on. So many different kinds of people, and even law enforcement! Then in the prequels we got to see pod racing and even more aliens. Disney Star Wars just feels so bland.

@@WrathofArchon it hurts how accurate this is. And nothing better explains how tone deaf and uncreative they are better than the awful power rangers in Boba. The supposed “poor oppressed workers” have cybernetics, fancier clothes than anyone else and have shiny and seemingly costume made speeder bikes… World building is dead.

Who would've known back then that Tatooine was the most important planet in the galaxy, where the most important people in the galaxy either come from or live on for a period of time...for some reason...

they seemed to forget that those movies are actually.. good, unlike this.

Guess that was all part of the bait to get fans to watch

(subtitled) "I am Tchupa, and THIS is my junk crawler." (Knockoff Guns N Roses intensifies) Skiffkeeper walks in with a severed human arm. Tchupa: (off to the side) "We get these a lot. But only _some_ are worth taking a look at."

@@samwallaceart288 unironically yes that is what I crave

I like it! But only if they do it in english so I don't have to read subtitles the entire series.

@@samwallaceart288 someone make this, now.

Oy Vey!

bold of you to assume Lucas wasn't also money oriented

Indeed. I kinda put all hope in Kenobi and they can't even manage to produce something close to top tier. 😔 fml!

@@barsbarsbarz in fairness to Lucas i honestly believe it wasn't about money when he made the first movies. Part of the reason why the Prequels failed was because he was trying to do something outside the box. Yes, he monetized the hell out of SW after it was a success, but i think Star Wars was, at one point, a legit passion project of his.

Playing the audience? That's about all Disney knows how to do anymore.

​@@petriew2018 I believe George said in an Interview that he didn't want to make his Films too similar to each other. And....no matter if you like the Prequels or not, I think we can all agree that they were completely different from the first Trilogy.

I found the hvb fan

Already.

Glorp Shitto is absolutely going to BTFO Obi-wan

@@yaboiportch SPIN

​@@shardell "X opinion = Y youtuber" ..Oh dear.

They are one of those concepts that sound great, but then the spend every appearance of them being slapped around so how can you even pretend to care about them

@@xpurplethighs7596 Yeah it seems they tried to take the concept of "jobbers" and turn it on it's head. And failed miserably because that's not a concept that can be suberted.

Imperial Sith Acolytes and Shadow Guards from the EU were a much better idea

This happened with wolverine in the 90s. Every new character had to prove they were a badass so they always fought and beat up wolverine. Instead of making them look badass, it just made wolverine look like a chump. (Same with worf). The inquisitors remind me of daleks. Great when used correctly, terrible when abused. They need to be a threat. Not being killed by paintballs and children.

In the same 2 towns.

"they will all be complete shit"

jep.. I think they do a Fallen Order here.

what you are missing here is that ben never meets lei in ANH, leia only sees him from afar but they don't interact at all

@@arisrayden Oh, I didn't miss that, it's actually funny. According to this show they know each other well yet in ANH she just sprints into the Falcon with hardly a care about her old buddy getting cut down, lol.

@@elaguajdo yes its still weird even though i barely remember adults form when i was 10 years old with whom i never interacted again ( i was also never kidnapped and saved by such an adult). my guess is that in the end the forget-me drug will be used on leia or they'll use something else to explain away why she didn't really rmember all of this.

Surely since they retconned that line in a new hope, they’re going to use that as an excuse to make a confrontation that is meaningful and cool and filled with character and good dialogue and not at all bad.. right? r i g h t? surely they would save that for the last episode and not have them “fight” each other multiple times during the season, and they would build up to that confrontation to make it more meaningful.. right?

@@WrathofArchon pulse rifles are shit =P

@@Quaaludio I agree except there’s like 2 good ones- well maybe not good but ones I like to use, those being outbreak prime (totally not biased) and that one from the leviathan that I forgot the name of lol

@Waifu Wielder Would you like the answer now?

@Waifu Wielder fair enough.

I hope the empire isn't shown to have life scanners. If they did that, it would be really convenient when our heroes show up to their base they don't scan the ship and realize it's a threat. Apart from the other more notable plot device of them forgetting droids exist. That would be terrible, because I really love selectively calling out convenience!

@@barsbarsbarz ah yes the good old argument of “there was an inconsistency in the original trilogy so it’s fine that this makes no sense”. If your going to bother, then actually defend the show and stop trying to drag everything else down.

@@kingrippzard2027 you're the one dragging people down. as a star wars fan you should know better than anyone things can be enjoyed without making sense, therefore there's no point of making your comment

no because that relies a gram of creativity, which these writers lack

@@WrathofArchon god damn you got me there

They read through it in one go, it's just being edited slowly by jlongbone as she has a lot of projects.

Shes too stunning and brave to face any consequences.

@@Doyouevenliftjpg The most stunning and brave of all Star Wars.

kind of like in real life, her kind and skin colour allows her to do this kind of stuff

those episodes are some of my favorite, especially the box, probably my 2nd favorite outside of the umbara arc.

Hard to take the show as a whole seriously after seeing that despite having a terrifying Darth Vader scene in episode 3

all inquisitors are fallen Jedi

@@jackallen6601 I wasn't aware. Honestly that's kind of stupid if you ask me. Not one force sensitive person who came up after order 66 chose to join the inquisitors?

Welcome to the Brood, my Ewok!

They hung a guy by his armpits, the bad guys had a Looney tunes chase scene. How the hell did you hold on to faith until the third one.

@@tindekappa9047 Because Mando has stupid shit in it too, but there's enough in it that I still like Mando and his series. And I hoped it would just be stupid stuff in an otherwise good show? I'll be honest I REALLY wanted this to be good, and I was trying to give it the benefit of the doubt.

@@leviacosta1134 yeah that's understandable

I loved the first episode. And then the second stabbed me in the guts along with Grand Inquisitor...

He's been on The Real BBC and FNT by Heelsvs Babyface and Nerdrotic (excellent podcasts) talking about it too

Just commented the same thing!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
