20 Great TV Shows That Everybody Turned Against

One of the fundamental reasons why The Mandalorian knocked it out of the park was due to its emphasis on character-driven simplicity. Though entrenched in a galaxy far, far away, the series carved its own identity, pushing for a Western-inspired style, visual storytelling, and sparse dialogue. 

Rather than being overstuffed with lore and side-plots, The Mandarin highlighted Din Djarin's bond with Grogu above all else. Even though Disney's Star Wars sequels were meant to revolutionise George Lucas' franchise, The Mandalorian felt like the best Star Wars IP in a long time. But it wasn’t long before the cracks seeped in.

The Mandalorian's second season concluded with Grogu and Din going their separate ways, and the following season opened with the pair back together, almost like nothing happened. Bizarrely, Grogu’s return is explained in another show, The Book of Boba Fett, which made The Mandalorian feel heavily disjointed. 

Not only that, the newer storylines just aren't that appealing. The Convert episode barely features the lead characters, instead focusing on an unnecessarily complex subplot that could’ve been condensed in five minutes, and by the time Jack Black and Lizzo make their distracting cameos, The Mandalorian had well and truly jumped the bantha.
