This series could have been so much better with competent writing and actual tie ins to the shit Filoni laid down. Instead, it really looks like KK's last attempt to shit all over Filoni as hard as she can (especially the mausoleum of dead potential plot threads). It would not have taken much to salvage this. The talent (except the Reva actress) was there to pull off a lot of what they were going for. I think if Filoni had been allowed to control the writing on this and they had cast literally anyone other than Moses Smugwoke as Reva, it could have been a good series.
The main issues are what the fuck was Reva's stupid plan anyhow? Killing Luke makes zero fucking sense to hurt Vader if he does not know about him. Having her back attack Vader at the shuttle escape in E5 and that be the reason they get away would have been much better. And for fucks sakes show Leia developing skills and character during the show instead of her arc being stubborn cunty kid to stubborn cunty kid with a gun holster. The sabre duel, while cool to watch, fucks up so much continuity its just ludicrous to have it in the story. Palps calling off Vader _did_ make sense if you understand the whole balance thing and that as long as Vader and Palms are balanced off by Yoda and Obi, its actually in his best interest to leave them be. But they literally repeated the biggest fuckup from TLJ with the slow motion fucking ISD chase. And Reva living AND her stupid ending were just fucking insulting on every level. Vader is a guy who murdered civilians and children at the drop of the had, as well as executing his own men when they made minor fuckups. But now, lets let a rogue force user who fucking ATTACKED you live because reasons. They really wanted to make Joggress Sith the star of this show.
And if Filoni was at the helm, I can thing of much better ways they could have tied this all into the movie cannon and Filoni SW mythos. Pick any of a number of EU characters for the Reva role (Ventriss would have been a good choice). Replace generic Black_Rebel_leader_001 with a younger less jaded Saw Guerrera. Replace Dinesh fake Jedi with any of a number of rogue type characters (how about Hono and even let Dinesh play him if you want). Maybe show the start of the Syndicate takeover of Tatooine as a reason why the Inquisitors can't just completely tear the place apart looking for Jedi there. There were a LOT of missed opportunities to blend this in instead of trying to shoehorn a bunch of KK subersive bullshit.
