Pacing and story is excellent.

It’s warm, comfortable, probably a little safe, but literally everything you wanted.

It’s not taking any big swings, but did we really need it to?"

Season 3 wastes no time getting back to the action and thrilling adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu.

Din Djarin, The Mandalorian

#Grogu might be cuter this season and its a terrific balance with Pedro Pascals stoic Din Djarin.

Also Bo-Katan ROCKS!"

It’s packed with action, adorable Grogu moments, an incredible score, & fan favorite characters.

Episode 2 is where it kicks into classic Mando, and finds its groove.

Regardless, GIFable Grogu stuff in both episodes, and that’s all that REALLY matters."
