In episode 5 of The Acolyte, things get fast and furious on a level that post-Disney Star Wars has rarely hit. While the series itself has sometimes been undermined by jumpy editing, some underbaked plot points, and a few snippets of iffy dialogues, it's been fascinating to follow every week so far. The genuinely refreshing story alongside the well-defined characters that are trying to unravel the central mystery has been exciting to watch.
Episode 5 'Night' is the payoff to last week's largely calm episode 'Day' that we were hoping for and then some. There's relentless action, more grim moments than anyone was expecting, and the plot squirming and twisting on itself once again.
