@jmg999 It's such a pity, too, since Diego can be so immediately charming. It's like the leads showed up and they handed them the script right off the plane and told them to head to wardrobe because they'd be shooting in an hour. I noticed the same thing with Katie Sackoff's character in her introduction in Mando'.
@lnero I agree. Diego Luna is a particularly talented actor and quite charming. It's unfortunate that what he was given to work w/ here was so subpar. My take on this was a bit over the top, but the more I've watched of this, the more I realize that much of what they made are simply Empire policy meetings. I'm surprised that they thought this would be captivatingly interesting, since The Phantom Menace debacle. If this type of activity were so well-received, C-SPAN would be one of the most popular channels on TV. I don't understand it, but then again, I see lots of media, where I can't imagine how a roomful of adults agreed that what I just watched was a good idea to spend millions of dollars on.

I hate the main character. He is so irredeemably unlikable, it's practically unfathomable that someone would write this, and it would get greenlit for production. Aside from being more boring than watching paint dry, one of the oddest things about this show, which is incredibly irritating, is the audio. In at least two of the first five episodes, they employed this background audio, which in one case sounded like a cellphone notification and in the other, a high-pitched squeal. I can't believe that no one caught this in post, b/c it's so hideous to listen to.
