    Basic. Boring. Banal. The Bad Batch is a weak effort all around. I'm sure fans of the Clone Wars series will like it but it lacks fun, excitement, and a reason for existing other than to continue cashing in on the star wars property. The 70 minute first episode drags so long; after 11 minutes i checked the time because i was certain it was bound to be over soon, alas, it went on and on andBasic. Boring. Banal.

At one point it felt like it'd be a spin on TMNT in the star wars universe, but I don't have the constitution to sit through more to see if that's true. The animation is so boring and drab. It has the energy of the worst parts of the prequel movies with, somehow, an even worse script.… Expand

    The story and setting show a lot of promise, so if the writers can strengthen their core characters over the next few episodes, then this series could well hold its own with the best from Lucasfilm Animation. That said, if you never quite got on board with The Clone Wars or Rebels, there probably isn’t much here to win you over.

    A solid continuation of the Star Wars Filoni-verse. Clone Wars fans will be delighted, but there’s promise of a more ambitious show yet to follow.

    The series feels like it’s simply going through the motions, biding its time until the Jedi and other big names show up. Like countless clone troopers, The Bad Batch fails to distinguish itself.
