The plot of The Acolyte took the worse possible approach with it’s characters, while Reddit believes there was a perfect main character in the show.
One of the main reasons why The Acolyte was such an anticipated release was because it was going to explore a time in the history of the galaxy that has not gotten much love in the new Star Wars canon so far. However, what fans ended up getting was a very poorly constructed, canon-breaking storyline that recontextualized established story beats in the worst way possible.

However, one of the more interesting additions of the show to the Star Wars canon was the Sith warrior Qimir, who functioned as the chief antagonist of the first, and only, season of The Acolyte. There are some who believe the plot would have worked much better if the focus of the story had been Qimir, and the narrative would have been focused more on his rise to power.

Qimir was already depicted as being an established Sith Lord, which goes against almost 20 years of set canon. Reddit believes that there was a plot in the narrative that would have resonated much better with fans, and been a more engaging story after all.
The plot that was proposed on Reddit essentially followed Qimir as the Acolyte, in a sea of other would-be apprentices who would work towards creating a renewed Sith Order, that would culminate with Palpatine’s rise to power and the reorganizing of The Galactic Republic as the Empire.

There was a lot that was wrong about The Acolyte. The show managed to create a narrative that further alienated the dwindling fanbase, and failed to attract the audience that it intended to. The show was blatantly ignorant of the canon that it had and would have made sense more if it was set a hundred years after the Skywalker Saga, rather than before it.
Fans were really rooting for the show, given that it was supposed to flesh out the High Republic Era in a canon setting, that too in live-action, something that audiences had not seen. However, the execution of the story, and the characters that it focused on made no sense, and worked towards a non-issue that culminated into nothing of consequence at all.
The Acolyte can be streamed on Disney+
