The Mandalorian (2019)


The Mandalorian is a very good streaming series that takes place shortly after the events of Return of the Jedi.  It is much like a western in space, but it has a great serial story about the relationship between the bounty hunter Mandalorian and a foundling alien known as "Baby Yoda".  I loved every episode of Season 1.

I think that season 2 is better, giving us a finale that is astonishingly good.  Nevertheless, many fans prefer season 1.

The less said about season 3 the better.  It is not bad, but it certainly feels like a half hearted effort.  It fails to capture the greatness of the previous two seasons.  Most of the fanbase have expressed their disappointment with this season, but I think that the shows are still watchable.

The Mandalorian jumped the shark with season 3 episode 6 with Jack Black and Lizzo as guest characters.  The episode is meant to be a comedy, but the fans hated it.  In a one bad apple spoils the whole barrel moment, this one episode soured fans on the whole season.  Nevertheless, I think that episode 6 is barely passable entertainment.
