Grace Randolph Critiques The Acolyte's Episode as Awful

YouTube influencer Grace Randolph has finished her 180 on The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm series The Acolyte. Randolph, who claimed the early critics of the show were grifters, took to social media to state that the series’ seventh episode was awful. The shift was unexpected even though it probably should not be termed dramatic, as politicians are known for doing u-turns less dramatic with greater regularity.

Still, the event itself is significant. Randolph is a reputable influencer in the online community, and her initial reaction to the series was unique given the surrounding environment of widespread skepticism. The most interesting aspect of video essays on screen and the internet overall is that they allow personalities to make their personal preferences known. The episode impacted Randolph greatly, and as a result, there was no longer a reason for her to trumpet the series, as she allegedly knew how it all unfolded. This change in attitude was natural as there was no reason to believe that the event would prompt such a seismic shift a week before it happened; this is why it is also important to revisit previous videos after new tectonic shifts. The video has managed to get people talking, and all eyes are firmly glued to Randolph’s channel for further analysis.
