Season 1 Review: The Acolyte provides just that. Seeing the Jedi at the height of their powers is impressive. But seeing them, at their apex, utterly confused and at times powerless is even better. Jedi are being hunted but they have no idea who’s behind it or what the motivation is. Neither does the audience. The mystery of this series is what will keep you riveted to your screen.

Season 1 Review: It's pacy but still takes the time to beautifully flesh out each of our leading characters. It's serialised but doesn't feel formulaic. It can be enjoyed as a standalone series for newcomers to Star Wars but still has plenty to enjoy for die-hards. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Based on watching half the season, I can’t say if The Acolyte will evolve into a classic. But it’s clear that Headland has set the show off on a unique path that is immensely watchable—and could open up a thoughtful new direction for the Star Wars universe. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Like the prequels, “The Acolyte” ponders many dark and complex subjects but, so far, lacks proper depth in this consideration. Still, “Star Wars” has always felt too torn to cast its White Knight heroes in too negative a light and thus has never quite committed to what could be much more morally damming parables. Nonetheless, “The Acolyte” feels like it’s going there. Now, it’s a matter of whether they’ll probe past the surface. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Things may skew a little familiar in the early running but the subversive Headland surely has some more sneaky rug-pulls up her sleeve, a tantalising prospect that makes The Acolyte worth sticking with. Read full review

The Telegraph Keith Watson

Season 1 Review: Unlike Andor – easily the best of the Star Wars spin-offs – The Acolyte is a pulled punch, too eager to play the story out in a series of five-minute jeopardy riffs rather than trust that the audience might have an attention span. There are teasing hints of what it could be. Read full review

Sam Adams

Season 1 Review: Despite the reported $180 million budget, it’s a show that shrinks the world rather than expanding it, blowing its money on lavish set pieces rather than building out environments for us to inhabit. The Acolyte acts like it’s swinging for the fences, but when the time comes, the best it can manage is a bunt. Read full review
