Season 2
Continuing where Season 1 left off, Mando is following up with his quest to deliver the kid to his kind. He is looking for other Mandalorians who might help him, finds some, finds some fake ones, unites with some old ones, meets and helps a Jedi, who can't help him. Every episode is a side action plot with a little bit of motion toward his goal. It feels like a Jack Reacher novel. In the first 5 minutes, the distracting but essential damsel in distress is revealed and the episode will resolve the distress. In the meanwhile, a small step is take toward the season long goal. The one storytelling oddity I find is that Mando regularly asks for information from the first person he sees, receives the info, generally trusts the information, and then acts on it successfully. Probably this is more true to life (there really aren't many people out in the real world trying to "get you") but isn't consistent with dramatic storytelling by any means. I suppose I like it, but it is deviant enough for me to notice. Overall, I just don't get enough exposure to the Star Wars universe to be oversaturated, so I end up loving every minute.
5 stars (out of 5)
