I suspect I know the entire reason this “article” was written, and it’s that the people who love every Disney property are still trying to make up literally any reason why Acolyte was cancelled other than the fact that it was just a jumbled mess of a show.
I love Star Wars, I watched every episode of The Acolyte. It was ok at best. It was somewhat enjoyable but had so many issues with the writing that I wasn’t that surprised when it got cancelled.
Beyond pure viewership, Disney also does surveys asking detailed questions about what you liked, didn’t like, what you’d want to see in a season 2 and so on.
I’d expect they got a lot of responses along the lines of “I didn’t watch all of season 1, why would I watch season 2?”
OTOH - it’s not like they pulled all the episodes offline or anything… it’s still out there. I bailed after Episode 3 stunk up the place, but I hear 5 is better.
I watched all of them and it did get somewhat better here and there. The high points were just good enough that I still wanted to see what happened but there was just so much pointless junk that even the big cliffhanger ending didn’t really thrill me… I’d honestly be fine if they just told me how the story ends in an email or something lol

Yeah, people still bitter over Acolyte failing.

5 isn’t better, it’s just got action sequences full of glaring problems.
