Honestly, I totally believe that the constant push for this show is real people. I didn’t believe it could be that good until I checked it out myself last week and saw it was leaps and bounds beyond every other Star Wars show.

That's why you're seeing so many articles about it, because it's SO good that even regular, non-star wars fans are noticing. How many articles have there been about Succession?

Gotta remember that entertainment news is a vicious cycle. Reddit reacts to media, media reacts to users reacting, and users post these regurgitative articles.

I think the reports that the show wasn't hitting the streaming numbers previous big Disney+ shows have reached (not 100% certain because the real numbers are not provided) got fans of the show motivated to help promote it.

I wouldn't say I am helping but it certainly made me feel like I should.

It’s a shame it’s not reached the same audience. I think it’s probably a hole that Disney dug by producing a bunch of Star Wars and Marvel shows that ended up being received badly, so most people dismissed this before it was even released. I also thought it’d be more of the same, so I can’t blame them.

It will find it's audience. Whether it's because of the merciless spam from fans, promotion by Disney or just plain word of mouth, people will find this show and Season 2 will be huge.
