The Mandalorian (59)
I reviewed the show as it came out from 2019 to 2023.
The fall of The Mandalorian, and by extension Star Wars, has been one of the sadder things I've watched on television over the last five years. This show started off with such potential in season 1, telling a compelling story of fatherhood set place during one of the more interesting times in the Star Wars universe from a world-building perspective. But as the show has gone on, it gradually lost the plot. The need for Star Wars to integrate characters from all of their various properties took away from the engaging central story of The Mandalorian, and with so many characters leaving to have their own standalone shows, what we ended up left with by season 3 was an utterly disappointing mess of a TV show with little coherence, poor writing, and a non-existent emotional story. It has been quite the fall from grace, and I've grown tired of how Disney Star Wars structures its TV shows. Once upon a time, I would have recommended this show, but now I simply can't.
