The Acolyte • Season 1 Ratings & Reviews
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Neal Justin
The sight of a light saber coming to life has become about as thrilling as turning on a table lamp.
IndieWire
Proma Khosla
The performances overall are more dynamic, the writing more engaging than usual for Disney+, which keeps the series from dragging like its predecessors.
Autostraddle
Nic Anstett
While The Acolyte is mostly able to skirt by given how well its cast sells the emotional context of each scene, the degree of narrative withholding Headland is attempting here threatens to undermine a lot of this otherwise strong character work.
Washington Post
Lili Loofbourow
The show refreshes the franchise by remixing some of the films' more potent archetypes while remaining accessible to neophytes.
Observer
Dylan Roth
Set hundreds of years before the events of the Star Wars saga we know best, this show gets to tell its own story-making it better than most of the series Disney+ has pumped out.
San Francisco Chronicle
Zaki Hasan
The various plot mechanisms take about one and a half episodes to fully build up momentum, but once that happens, "The Acolyte" becomes a lot more intriguing.
AV Club
Manuel Betancourt
What perhaps makes The Acolyte such an engaging and addictive watch (over the first four episodes screened for critics, at least) is its commitment to not treating the Jedi (or the Star Wars franchise writ large) as untouchable.
Slate
Sam Adams
The Acolyte acts like it's swinging for the fences, but when the time comes, the best it can manage is a bunt.
Seattle Times
Rob Owen
This is the first Star Wars series to give off a Star Trek: The Next Generation vibe. It doesn't help that the show's momentum can be slow, with too many dull exposition pitstops even as episodes clock in at a light 32 to 42 minutes.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
A ripping, nimbly paced action series that knows its audience and knows how to exploit this fandom's strengths and weak spots.
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
[I]t's the ideas that flourish in "The Acolyte"-mining the rich mythology of the universe to explore how our childhoods scar us, and what we do with that pain.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Exhibiting influences that blend martial-arts movies, young-adult fiction and the detective genre, it's an intriguing if modest addition whose lack of connection to existing canon proves both an advantage and disadvantage.
Bloomberg News
Esther Zuckerman
As the director offers up her interpretation of this universe, building out a new wing of its canon, it can feel like The Acolyte has the energy of a kid playing with her favorite toys.
TV Guide
Keith Phipps
The Acolyte is interested in complicating the fundamental nature of the Star Wars universe. What it's yet to find - unlike the similarly morally ambiguous Andor - is a way to convert the boldness of those ambitions into storytelling that's just as bold.
Consequence
Liz Shannon Miller
The Acolyte feels like Star Wars - someone even says "I have a bad feeling about this!" The only thing that makes it stand out from past Star Wars stories is that it has a lot of women in it, actively participating in the story. (What a concept.)
The Hollywood Reporter
Angie Han
There are worse qualities for a new series to have than an overabundance of potential -- and wherever this one ends up, it's got enough on its mind to make the journey worthwhile.
Variety
Alison Herman
In giving itself permission to poke at Star Wars mythology, The Acolyte cultivates the same sense of curiosity it exhibits about its own universe.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
Full of logical fallacies, hokey dialogue and nonsensical plots, "Acolyte" feels entirely of a piece with the worst elements of the prequel trilogy, which many hardcore fans love to hate, even 25 years later.
New York Times
Mike Hale
Beneath the familiar trappings, the visceral pull that Star Wars can summon in its best moments doesn't manifest itself. Characters speak in platitudes about loss, grief, loyalty and revenge, and the cast mostly works down to the level of the dialogue.
Rolling Stone
Alan Sepinwall
It's good to see another Star Wars project that, like Andor, interrogates some of the franchise's fundamental assumptions. Entertainment-wise, though, the first half of The Acolyte is unfortunately a lot closer to The Book of Boba Fett.
