What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe general feeling is that this prequel's a mixed bag, anchored by a few standout performances but weighed down by its main character. The story of young Kanan Stark in 90s Queens is elevated by Patina Miller as his formidable mother Raq and London Brown as Marvin, who many find compelling. The acting across the board is top notch. The real issue is Kanan himself, with a lot of viewers finding Mekai Curtis's version of the character frustrating and hard to root for, which drags the central story down.
