Star Wars: The Bad Batch
Defective clone soldiers refuse the order that turns their brothers into the Empire's police, and take a child with them.

Brothers, and a child who is not a weapon. The war is still the diet. Older kids.
The Batch are soldiers bred for special tasks who discover the Republic they served has been replaced. Omega is a child the laboratory also made. The story that matters is whether they will keep her as a sister or as an asset. The show is uneven and fond of a firefight. Its good hours are the ones where the squad chooses the girl over the mission.
Not for the very young. The clones are a tragedy about people who were never given a childhood, raising one. That is the part to watch. The rest is the costume.

6/10
An empire assembling itself in the offices they used to salute.

Violence is the fluent language. The show speaks it too easily.
Truth
7/10
The chip in the head is a literal lie. Removing it is the plot.

Omega is the future they were not supposed to have a say in.
