Started watching The Mandalorian earlier, too.

I'm seriously liking this so far. There is so much lore being filled in.

I'm not far enough in to have much opinion yet.

Totally agree with JB. It's been great so far

This is where I stand.

Personally - it's moving so slow! it's also currently episodic, when I am finding to like less and less in drama based shows. Sure there are some arcs, but they are pretty long and drawn out...

I guess I'm a product of the Netflix age, waiting weekly for 44 mins of show is annoying as hell! yet waiting until the season is done means it will be completely spoiled for me by social media.

Only through two episodes, so not too surprised that it is moving slowly. But yeah, from what little I've seen it's dragging a bit.

Overall my first impression is... I enjoyed it while I was watching it, but the moment I'm not, I forget about it until we discuss it here. So it's good, but not yet good enough for me to have enough interest to be thinking about it once it isn't on. So definitely not drawing me back, but more than willing to watch it if it is a offered.

So from what little I've seen, it's like Friends. Watchable, but not "seek outable".

It's true, that I know that I won't be able to finish it makes me less likely to want to put it on. If I don't like it, what's the point. And if I do like it... what's the point. I can't watch it. It's not conscious, but as there is so little of it, I guess that that is affecting my impression of it. Since I can't catch up, I have no desire to catch up, either.

I guess I watch enough weekly released TV (Japanese mostly) that I have no issues with the format. I would love to be able to binge, but then I know I won't see anything for a year+ anyway.

I have to say I agree with this. It's only seek outable for me because I'm an avid SW fan. If it wasn't for that, I could see this easily moving to not seek outable.

Well, frankly - so do I... yet, for this show, there isn't enough given to satisfy my hunger for the long wait of another week. I'm guessing this comes back to the slowness I see in the show.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it..

I wonder if I'm so used to movies for my SW fix (I haven't watched much of the cartoon series) that I'm just expecting more or something - or expecting it to finish by the time the credits roll. I haven't gotten into TV viewing mode with it yet.. who knows.

Why are you only 2 episodes in? 5 have been released.

I saw someone post that Disney should release 2 episodes a week instead of one. I do think this would make a huge change in my impatience for the show and would allow it's currently slower pace to not annoy me as much, as the story would be progressing at a more reasonable rate (in our minds).
