I was a skeptic after a few episodes of The Mandalorian, but the last two chapters really won me over.
Almost every episode of The Mandalorian has leaned heavily on the show’s influences, but “The Gunslinger,” was especially full of callbacks to the Western genre.
The Mandalorian is taking all of these influences and synthesizing them into something new.
When it began, The Mandalorian felt like a movie that had been pulled like taffy across an entire season of television.
