I was very excited about this series but I'm very disappointed in what it turned out to be.
Let's start from the good things. It feels like the first Star Wars films, no doubt. The characters behave similarly, and the setting as well as the general rhythm are on point. If it weren't for the incredible CGI, one could say it was made in the 80s. This is also a problem, since it makes every episode extremely slow, and sometimes a bit boring. I have the feeling that some scenes might as well have been cut, and nothing would have been lost. Actually, entire episodes could have been left out completely, since nothing really happens. Mando travels from place to place every episode, encountering new characters that disappear after the end of the (short) episode. They look like parentheses in the plot, with the exception that so far it's all there is. What is the story exactly? To be fair the bits of plot there are make sense, sometimes. But mostly the characters make very weird choices, and sometimes it feels as if they were forced by the writers. Mando himself is not a very clever character, and the fact that we cannot see his face makes him less of an interesting one.
Overall it reminds me of some sci-fi Netflix series I have watched and can't remember of. Because it was unremarkable.
*I have watched up until episode 6
