A sad, sad misstep in the franchise. This series is the illogical story of an unlikable Inquisitor who survives not one but two completely unbelievable fatal wounds, wholly fails to accomplish any of her goals, commits various atrocities, attempts to torture and murder children, and somehow gets a "redemption" arc that amounts to not murdering one kid.
Obi-wan is relegated to being a side character in his own series. He spends the show babysitting an annoying young Leia who is both way too smart or way too stupid for her age depending on the scene. All while leaving Luke unattended on Tatooine with an Inquisitor known to be nearby. It's illogical, it's badly written, and frankly has far less to do with Kenobi than is fair for a show bearing his name.
Of course Ewan and Hayden are amazing and they do the do the best with what they're given. The sets and costumes are great, and it really does feel like Star Wars, at least until a literal child survives being impaled by a known blademaster with a lightsaber, and then again as an adult while fighting the same blademaster.
I wish I could rate it higher, I really do.
