The first live-action Star Wars television show. Set in the time after the original trilogy (the first Death Star has been destroyed), this show follows a Mandalorian bounty hunter. Fiercely devoted to the Mandalorian way, the character is at first something of a cipher—always wearing a mask, doing the task, recovering the bounty. He is modeled after the Lone Gunman of the Westerns. But the Mandalorian soon starts acting on his own initiative and becomes a compelling character, as do the people around him. The show does not lend itself well to bingeing as each episode follows a set formula that can feel repetitive, but the overall arc is excellent. Also watch “The Gallery” offered by Disney+ about the making of the show– really interesting.
