Streisand here would mean more people watch it, since the negative backlash from censorship creates more publicity.

Just like awful superhero movies these things don't die for simply for being bad. Even I watched it just to see how much they messed it up (I thought it was merely okay, not awful). The test will be whether it maintains momentum with the 4th and 5th episode. That's usually where big shows die.

That would depend on the veracity of the negative reviews, many of which offer no substance apart from, “it’s too woke and not canon!”

I don’t think the show is incredible, but visually the show is pretty awesome, and I enjoy the story enough to continue watching so far.

I simply don’t understand why that cannot possibly be a legitimate review, albeit one you strongly disagree with and one I think is bluntly put.
