The only reason I watched this was for Sean Bean. The premise made it sound like a train wreck waiting to happen. It's surprisingly decent. Love the atmosphere, the tone, the characters (Billy Zane is my favourite while Bean kind of disappoints), and that soundtrack.

It's not groundbreaking television, but it is a good time. Definitely worth a full watch through once!

After the disaster that was The Last Jedi, and only really liking the Vader scenes in Rogue One, I went into this movie with extremely low expectations. I surprisingly enjoyed it while there were parts of the movie that had me shaking my head.

L337 is one of the most obnoxious characters ever. This character is written with social justice politics in mind. Almost all of her lines were irritating, and it just felt like it was thrown in. Adding to that, the "Pando" Lando was also unnecessary, and completely unlike the Lando we were introduced to in Empire. However, Donald Glover plays him very well; echoing a young Billy Dee Williams from his line delivery to his mannerisms.

Alden was not bad, but not amazing. I would have preferred Anthony Ingruber. Alden at points resembled Han Solo, but it wasn't consistent enough for me. The origin of his name is also ridiculous. His chemistry with Chewbacca is in my opinion the strongest part of the movie.

The score was good and hearing John Williams' old themes really got the blood pumping!

I love Star Wars. The original trilogy will always be among my favourite of all time. The prequels also hold a special place in my heart. Despite the problems I have with this movie, it has been my favourite Disney Star Wars film thus far. I feel like it would have done much better at the box office if it weren't for The Last Jedi leaving a poor taste in many people's mouths.

Sean Bean, superb as usual, leads a fantastic supporting cast through this dark and gritty investigation of mutilated corpses and the possibility of galvanizing the dead back to life.

I cannot say enough about this 6 episode (what was originally supposed to be mini-series - but now renewed for a second run!) season. Everything from the costumes, the sets, and the music (oh, the great music!) is phenomenal! The opening credits and theme deserve some recognition as it was very well done (I had a Game of Thrones vibe watching it)!

This could have easily ended at episode 6, because it was a perfect way to end this story, but I am also excited to see where they take Sean Bean's character next!
