RedState Reports: If there is one word that can be used to describe "The Acolyte," the latest series released on Disney+, it would be “polarizing.” When it comes to impressions from those who have seen the series, there is zero middle ground. Either we see the militant defense of the series, or there is fervent opposition to how the show bastardized the “Star Wars” canon. 

We can get a feel for how this is trending by the fact series creator Leslye Headland is attempting to recast the interpretation of her program. As predicted in prior coverage of this show, we have seen the exact “Disney Formula” followed step-by-step:

1. Create a blatantly woke product
2. Preemptively respond to non-existent complaints
3. Experience low interest in the product
4. Lash out at the audience as being intolerant

Ms. Headland appears to be adding an additional step: denying what fans are complaining about actually exists. This has to be a sign that they are feeling the pushback and the failure of the product.

One example of this polarity is seen on Rotten Tomatoes, where critical favor has been consistently high but the audience scores have plunged into the low double digits. Of course, this also reflects the coordinated efforts of many to review-bomb the show, so it cannot be regarded as a true portrayal of impressions. But one more accurate metric is the audience figures.
