The Mandalorian 2.2 Review - 4 Ups And 2 Downs

Ups...

4. It's Funny In All The Right Ways

The first season of The Mandalorian wasn't exactly light on comedy, but there's definitely been a more pronounced element of humour in the first two episodes from Season 2. Last week had a lot of great moments involving Mando and Cobb Vanth, but with Peyton Reed behind the camera for Chapter 10, the episode ends up garnering a lot of laughs - and in all the right places.

Whether it's Mando and The Child watching a bandit fly helplessly through the air on his jetpack, or The Child stealing the poor frog woman's eggs from her jar (this... really shouldn't be as funny as it is), Chapter 10 is filled to the brim with genuinely funny moments that bely the episode's horror-laden twist.

The episode's jokes are disarming in the right way, and help make the moment where things truly go haywire more shocking than it would've been otherwise.
