If you’ve missed us on Substack, we’ve still been putting out episodes of the show. And for those who read and/or listen to us via Substack, we are going to be changing it up a little bit.

We still plan to post occasional episodes and long-commentary here on Substack, but our daily emails will come directly from me starting in the near future…probably starting this week.

Conformity

The Mandolorian

‘The Mandalorian’ Season Three Gets Off to a Disappointing Start by Alan Sepinwall

Good review by my favorite TV Critic, Alan Sepinwall. Good in that I love to read “What’s Alan Watching,” but perhaps too “critical” of the show itself.

Sepinwall’s piece was a breakdown of the season premiere episode, not the one I mentioned here today, which was the third installment.

The Mandolorian

‘The Mandalorian’ Season Three Gets Off to a Disappointing Start by Alan Sepinwall

Good review by my favorite TV Critic, Alan Sepinwall. Good in that I love to read “What’s Alan Watching,” but perhaps too “critical” of the show itself.

Sepinwall’s piece was a breakdown of the season premiere episode, not the one I mentioned here today, which was the third installment.

I think The Mandolorian—and the Disney properties in general—have major flaws. No doubt.

However, The Mandolorian—both the character and the show—are just cool. I’ve loved all of the Star Wars live action TV shows way more than the atrocities called the “prequel” movies and certainly the sequel trilogy. I did like the first installment of the sequels for a little bit—you can’t really go wrong with Han and Chewie.

That being said, the Star Wars TV stuff—Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and The Mandalorian—are all great entertainment as far as I’m concerned. In the way that Rogue One and Solo were good entertainment. I’d rank all of these shows and movies ahead of the official prequel and sequel movies.

If you don’t already have Disney+, I wouldn’t say there’s any rush to go out and get it, but if you do, Mando is worth an hour out of every week…or a nice binge on the weekend to catch up.
