[Official] Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. S1: 05/27/22

You could make posts like that about any of the Star Wars movies though. Their shyt has never been airtight like Better Call Saul or The Wire.

The lore is what makes star wars dope to me but let’s but act like this series is known for tight writing.

And I've considered that. Even Empire, you can go through and find flaws. However, it's about two things:

A. They get so much right that you can overlook them
B. They aren't glaring.

If those things are the case, I'm fine with it. Like I said, I do try to give a lot of leeway. Sadly, I just don't find it to be the case with Obi Wan. There is a lot I'm enjoying, but man I have to put my brain on pause a LOT while watching it.

There's some good stuff here but the more i watch... the more i feel it would have been better served as a movie. The story would have been condensed and the budget would have allowed for crazier action sequences.

The tomb was interesting.. too bad they didn't spend more time on that. The best scene by far to this point is Vader's slow murderous approach through the town with that sinister score

Not really sure what's up with the budget. i can understand Boba Fett but Obi Wan should have had a big budget. if it does then they aren't putting it to great use. Probably had to pay both actors a ton.

The Mandalorian is shot as high budget film. We need that season 3 asap

you mans need to stop using parrot analytics to make points, the metrics are stupid

They count shyt like tweets and tiktok. Why do you think the gay pirate show is always so high on there?

Wel, what's the excuse this week? Congrats @Peter Popoff @Bryan Danielson


Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Takes Top Spot on Most In-Demand New Shows List | Chart

In this weekly data series powered by Parrot Analytics we look at the top breakout shows of the past week. Breakout shows are the most in-demand series that have premiered in the past 100 days.

Disney+’s “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is now officially the most in-demand new show in the U.S., with 39.2 times more demand than the average series for the week, according to Parrot Analytics‘ data, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other consumer engagement.

The latest “Star Wars” series saw a 99% increase in demand this week after its third episode aired on June 1.

That forced HBO Max’s “Our Flag Means Death” to second place for the week ending June 3, with 33.8 times the average series demand. HBO recently announced that the pirate comedy had been renewed for a second season — much to the excitement of fans of the sleeper hit. It’s easy to understand why the show has been renewed — despite wrapping its first-season run over two months ago. The pirate comedy has consistently stayed at the top of the weekly rankings and has seen an almost negligible decline in demand — a very impressive feat for any new series that isn’t based on an established, preexisting IP.



There were three miniseries from HBO and Hulu that had a good week in terms of audience demand. Following the release of its finale on May 30, HBO’s “We Own This City” saw a further 13% increase in demand and moved up to sixth place in the rankings. Created by Emmy-winning writer/producer David Simon, the miniseries is based on a book that explores true events in the Baltimore Police Department task force and has been well-received by critics and viewers.

Hulu’s “Under the Banner of Heaven,” which stars Andrew Garfield as a police detective investigating a murder in Salt Lake City, Utah, saw an increase in demand of 9% this week after its finale last Thursday, making it 19.4 times more in demand than the average series in the U.S.

The third miniseries on the chart, HBO’s true-crime drama “The Staircase,” also saw a 19% increase in demand after its penultimate episode last Thursday. As we mentioned last week, the surge in demand is not surprising, since viewers begin to catch up before the finale.

Apple TV+’s “Prehistoric Planet” made its debut in the rankings in 10th place this week after it concluded on May 27. The nature documentary, narrated by none other than celebrated nature documentarian Sir David Attenborough, explores the life of dinosaurs 66 million years ago using CGI and has been very well-received and praised for its realistic cinematography.

Audience demand for the show definitely reflects this, with “Prehistoric Planet” commanding 17.3 times the average series demand in the U.S. for the week

It's still a stupid metric fam

I wonder if the Jedi in the tombs are still alive. They looked suspended in time.

 

[Drew Wonder]

I think at this point the only way for the continuity to make sense is if Obi Wan did some kind of mind wipe on Leia at the end of the series so that she forgets him. I don't even know if the Jedi can do that but I'm sure the show will make it up anyway lol

 

[Jazzy B.]

Actress who plays Reva should have been the actress cast as Franklin's baby mama in Snowfall.

 

[Mister_DoItNice]

This series is ass. Get these damn kids who always need to be escorted outta here.

What do you mean? In A New Hope, Leia says "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope". That makes sense given what has happened so far in this series.

dope so far.....

 

[King Static X]

Damn, this is pure hating. People can't enjoy things?

This Obi-Wan series is far from perfect but damn, let people enjoy it if they want to.

I don't like the prequels and disagree with people calling them "good" or "underrated" but if they enjoy the prequels then that's their right.
