Book of Boba Fett was a slog at times, and Obi-Wan was the entire time, but I finished those out because I wanted to know what happened (and because BoBF became a stealth half season of The Mandalorian)
Andor and The Mandalorian I didn't have any connection to, initially, but the first seasons of those shows were made so well that I bought in, and was generally rewarded for it.
Ahsoka is somewhere in the middle, where I have some familiarity with the characters and the show was fine (it was also short). Plus I read the Thrawn books as a kid.
The Acolyte - which I haven't finished yet, but will - is somehow none of those things. It's very weird.
I've posted this in a bunch of places but yes Acolyte has a very strange singular weird places in Disney Plus STar Wars. It's not as good as the actually good ones Andor and the first two seasons of the Mandalorian. But it's not an outright slog like Obi-Wan, Book of Boba Fett or Ahsoka (which I found to be a slog, maybe the worst of all the slogs). So it's not good exactly but not terrible.
