Despite a disclaimer at the beginning of every episode about how names and events having been changed for the purpose of dramatizing the story, Narcos is very interested in presenting facts and details. Its goal, then, is seemingly to make those details seem as authentic and understandable to its audience as possible. In order to achieve that objective, the series, from writer-producers Chris Brancato, Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard, and director José Padilha, relies extensively on an inescapable voiceover that bogs the first hour down in so much exposition, the series premiere feels less like the start of a story and more like the preamble of a very long lesson.
Is the new Star Wars spinoff, The Acolyte, good? Or is it just another way for Disney to capitalize on a dying franchise?
The latest Star Wars live-action series has landed on Disney+ – Star Wars: The Acolyte! RPadTV host Raymond Padilla enlisted fellow longtime videogame journalist Paul Semel and PR maven MacLean Marshall to talk about the first two episodes. Although we’re only two episodes (of eight) in, the boys were thrilled by The Acolyte’s excellent start.
Raymond Padilla, Paul Semel, and Mac Marshall will discuss what they thought of the first two episodes, including what they liked, what they didn’t like, initial impressions of The Acolyte’s characters, how it compares to other Star Wars live-action shows, and more. They’ll also share their theories on how the series will end (this will be fun to revisit in July).
