I absolutely love this series. The first episode was kind of a bummer, as I didn't want it to end so quickly. But, by the time I got to the third episode, it's turning out to be a much better format than I expected. They are well-made, very entertaining, and leaves some things to the imagination. I can do this A-B-C storytelling until the Banthas' come home.
The Prisoner was very good. It kept me entertained, a bit stressed for our Mando and Baby Yoda, surprised me, startled me, and made me laugh, all in less than 45 minutes. I look forward to seeing what other guest stars will pop up. This group worked well together, though Xi'an wins the prize for most annoying character yet...barely beating out last week's rookie...and only because throwing those knives was darn awesome.
I sincerely hope that Mando never takes his helmet off for many, many episodes, yet. The actor/stuntman are really great at projecting what they are thinking. Cracked me up when the old man was digging at Mando, you could read his thoughts straight through that helmet with the tiniest of head movements. Love the mystery and cultural aspect of the helmet. Looking forward to Mando earning his signet.
On a final note, Daddy Mando has GOT to take better care of Baby Yoda...he's making my mothering instincts/experience freak out!
