Star Wars Rebels

70Worth an evening.

A found household against a tyranny. One of the better uses of this costume. Older children.

The review

Ezra is a street boy. The ship that takes him is not a school so much as a house with a mission: Hera flies, Kanan is a failed teacher trying again, Sabine has a people, Zeb has a grief. The Empire is not abstract. It occupies a planet and strips it. The series is about whether a cell can stay a family while it fights.

Better for a twelve-year-old than the louder wars, because the crew has to come back to the same galley. Watch for the episodes where they choose the people over the strike. That is the measure.

Keep Star Wars Rebels in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 70. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety is the thin one.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

78 instead of 70

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is still a adventure show, and it scores 78 instead of 70. What you gain is truth: The country's official story is a mass grave.

The eight

7
Industry
A ship is work. Everyone has a station.
8
Household
The crew is the household. Ezra is taken in, not used up.
5
Piety
The Force is a discipline Kanan is afraid to teach, and then teaches.
8
Courage
They stay in a fight they can lose.
7
Republic
Occupation is specific. A province, a people, a broadcast.
6
Temperance
Revenge is available. The better hours decline it.
7
Truth
Kanan's past is a debt he tells.
8
Stewardship
Teaching Ezra is the stewardship. The war is the circumstance.

Father Brown

70Worth an evening.

A parish, a confession of motive, and a mercy the mystery still has to earn. Gentle and sound.

The review

Father Brown is not a genius of clues. He is a man who hears sins for a living and therefore is hard to surprise. The show is lighter than Chesterton and kinder than a real parish, and the structure holds: a village, a sin of a recognizable kind, and a preference for the soul over the handcuffs when both can be had. The inspector wants the arrest. The priest wants the person.

A family can watch it. Say that a real crime is not this tidy. Then keep the part that is not tidy even here: mercy is not the same as saying the thing did not happen.
