The Mandalorian

I am not a fan of Start Wars, but I have to say that I'm happy with The Mandalorian. Pedro Pascal's voice has charm, Gina Carano is acting for the first time in a while, baby Yoda is cute and I enjoyed the IG droid. It has nice visuals, a decent amount of decent action and each episode is about something different so the series doesn't get boring and keeps a nice pace. Hardcore SW fans will probably be drooling with bliss and I at least had a nice 8 weeks of enjoyment. 8/10. (29/12/2019)

I never believed that there would come a day when I would give full marks to something from the world of Star Wars, but The Mandalorian Season 2 is the ultimate gem that I thoroughly enjoyed, despite the fact that I generally don't like the Star Wars world, don't understand it, and hardly know anything about the characters. I feel a bit like watching The Avengers without knowledge of the previous films, so the references, fan service, and the introduction of unknown characters had no impact on me. But on the other hand, I can't complain about a story that doesn't really progress anywhere, because I wouldn't be too interested in it anyway. I liked that each episode has one big action scene that lasts almost 20 minutes, which is an incredible pace for a 30-minute episode. Visually, The Mandalorian is great, and Pedro Pascal is excellent again. The action is intense and fortunately, doesn't come across as too childish like in the Star Wars world, although there is still no blood. I was impressed by the spider in the second episode, which reminded me of The Lord of the Rings, and of course, the finale, which is epic as it should be – the Dark Troopers are decently unpleasant android bastards. What a ride! Story*****, Action*****, Humor***, Violence>None, Entertainment*****, Music****, Visuals*****, Atmosphere*****, Tension****. 9/10. (21/12/2020)
