The Acolyte was built on a solid concept and had some great moments. The directing was terrible, though.

Things that went wrong with The Acolyte:

It spoiled its "mystery" in its first episode but then continued to act like we, the audience, were in the dark about it
A lot of the conflict came from characters holding the Idiot Ball for no reason and never communicating
It killed off all the most interesting characters that it had spent the entire season fleshing out, and then asked us to tune in next season to follow the continuing adventures of the characters it hadn't managed to make us care about (and Qimir who's cool but not cool enough to carry a show on his own)

Add in that its episode breaks were very nearly arbitrary. I have heard that people who waited and binged it liked it a little more.
