That's the reason I didn't watch Andor. I Like Fun.

Welp, I’m a dunce since your comment is how I found out it already premiered, so thanks!

The Last of Us. Atlanta. Yellowjackets. All shows that are pretty great all in all, but massively overhyped by the press and their respective fandoms. Nothing can live up to the insane amount of praise people load on to good television these days.

I like how at the end of each episode (so far) you find out what prize is bothering a certain character then the next episode is focused on them wrestling with it.

Makes it feel halfway between an anthology and serial show in a good way

Its great, until it doesnt end cause they pulled the plug early. David Finchers television shows are amazing so it was a shame they didnt want to continue.

I know him from the tv show "Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs" and I am touched by his sudden passing.

Its not even over yet......

Zoey on Grown-ish

I think Luciane killed it but her most important scenes were her bouncing off of total wood like Hong which makes her look kinda over-acty but her scene partner just isn't matching the energy ever. She also has a great concerned eyebrow lol.

What other shows are you thinking of?

Succession is a brilliant TV show. It’s also vastly overrated. Same goes for a lot of current prestige television, to be honest.

Yeah, like among other things the big dude’s gun just having absolutely no recoil? That was super silly. Idk the whole fight scene was a bit lackluster/off for me (as with basically every fight scene in BOBF besides the train assault which I loved) but I still enjoyed it overall

I like it! I want to see what they do with the darksaber, like will Din learn to wield it or will Bo challenge him for it?

Looks cheap and story isn’t propelling forward at all, very very disappointed with it so far

Was Duke supposed to be a parody of Ted Turner?

BBC America basically forced people to watch his bland ass show. We need to avoid possible marathon filler on that channel more than ever.

"Why? I thought the Joker always wanted to make Batman laugh!"

Such a good Joker takedown, great moment for Terry.

That's the second dumbest defense. Just because something is for kids doesn't mean you cant be critical of it.

Also, as someone with a kid, it's not really for kids. Anyone young enough to be obsessed with Baby Yoda is going to be scared by the robot living in the mines under Mandalore, or bored of the Coruscant stuff in the following episode.

At least someone else agrees with me. Had to walk away from the TV first time sitting through that. Felt really campy to me for some reason

The training sequence in The Founding episode was poorly done and while I like the Pershing character and most of his sequence, it dragged too long and was repetitive.

Aside from that, the structure has more direction and production all around has improved by a lot. The connecting tissue both story wise and tone and texture being developed across the shows is also getting more interesting and fluid. Their current approach just might mitigate some of the damage from the Sequels.

Din is the Mad Max of Mando's who propels the development of other key Mando characters who are all at different stages of being a Mandolorian along with other characters across the galaxy.

The show runners need to be more self critical and tighten up the show around the more cringy or dragging scenes and sequences, but I feel like you're trying to be that guy with this post. You even take a jab at the fan base with pretty lazy generalizations as if you're one of the few who aren't fooled by some kind of sinister attempt by the show runners to tank the franchise.

Mandalorian isnt really written for children, and what a non sequitur. You try to say the show is what it started at and then call it a kids show when proven wrong. The show that started off as a serial of a Mandalorian going around the galaxy doing stuff is vastly different than the show now that is more of a Clone Wars continuation.

Complete let down to me. Terrible writing, horrible pacing. I miss when the show had Din Djarin as a lead instead now its (just like Book of boba fett was) a star wars multiverse show even more than what they did to Season 2, they should have made the episodes longer so it didnt feel like the main character was sidelined, this is without even mentioning how they reverted the season 2 finale in Book of Boba Fett. Theres some well done scenes (like the Coruscant part or the last scene from ep 5) but the rest seems to be rushed. Feels like Im watching book of boba fett again with the cheap sets and cheap production. Episode 5 watching the mandalorians fight the pirates while the 30-40 people (apparantly the whole town) sat watching felt like I was watching Power Rangers. Really makes me miss how well done Andor was, a show that actually was good beyond the Star Wars elements.

Watched the first episode and it’s solid. The writing was alright, but the story has lots of potential and Chris O’Dowd is just as charming as you’d expect.

Bluey is a show that’s for children too, a great one. Hell, The Bad Batch has more coherent storytelling/character work than Mando this season and that’s much more geared towards kids than the Mandalorian. Avatar: The Last Airbender is for kids and has fantastic character arcs, storytelling, and plot overall. Just because a show is made for families/kids doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use our brains and critically think about the art/media we take in.
