It's great, but 27 minute episodes (8 total) is not cool.    I can't help but feel the bait and switch with subscribers who probably expected a full season like Netflix not an extended movie.   I hope it was just the first week since it was two episodes so we'll see.     Other than that, quality of the show is high.

I had no idea the second episode was so short it felt much longer to me

It really does look and feel like the original Star Wars, and it's great to see the Mandalorian image taken down a notch every time he's getting his butt kicked and needs some assistance. Finding out that Jawas were a galactic problem and not just a Tattooine problem was interesting, but the scenes all around the sandcrawler were a geek dream come true. The episodes are short but so full of detail you can watch then a couple more times and still enjoy them.

Man, I am LOVING it!  I'm watching the episodes multiple time and picking up new details.  There is so much depth in each scene.  Like looking at the costumes, the tools, the atmosphere.  It's such a great show!

I like that it's a pretty simple premise - Bounty Hunting.  Then you add the first big surprise, and it's not an immediate change, it's going to be gradual.  I am having so much fun because there's not the bloat and filler you get in many shows.  They just GO which is great!

I've only just started but I'm very happy. They did exactly what I hoped they would do but never imagined they would have the balls to do. They didn't make a "Star Wars" show, they made a show set in the Star Wars universe that explores a different part of it within the format of a different genre. If it weren't for the odd Gonk droid or R2 unit popping into frame, it could be any SciFi universe.

Mandalorian is a Western set in space, which is just amazing. I love genre-blending, and if you're making a show that pays homage to Boba Fett, it simply HAS to be a western. Boba Fett was based on the Man with No Name, and Ben Burtt, the Star Wars sound designer, added the sound of Spurs Jangling when he walked in the Cloud City scenes.

So a story of a lone gunslinger getting into adventures in the seedy frontiers of the Star Wars universe is exactly what the show needed to be.

And I can't believe that's exactly what the show is.

I got little kid chills watching the first episode. Can't wait to see more!

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
