As other reviewers have noted, this is definitely a better episode than the first, giving us a glimpse into a relationship most have been very keen to know more about. It was much more enjoyable and engaging, but felt unimaginative and contrived. After staring to watch the Clone Wars series again with my son, this felt far more juvenile in its writing.
We have the issues of the Republic demonstrated, an oppressed populace cowering under decadent rulers, social outrage and sympathetic Jedi. Dooku's Dark Side leanings extremely obvious, and an extremely swift change of policy.
There is nothing challenging here, nothing imaginative, all the way down to creatures from Earth. A rat and dog, with nothing I spotted on one viewing to indicate they were in any way alien.
Very Disney era, very modern, very underwhelming. This serves no real purpose apart from being Star Wars content. Bland box ticking with drab characters including an extremely dour Qui-Gon. I'm rapidly losing interest in this series...
