Confession: I'm not a Star Wars fan, so I went into The Mandalorian with apprehension. I wasn't sure if there would be anything there for people like me — you know, the ones who don't know their Wookiees from their Porgs. Within moments of the show's first episode I realised I had nothing to worry about. The Mandalorian is a sleek, spaghetti western in space. It's soothingly slow-paced with new adventures every week, and of course, Baby Yoda, the internet's great unifier, is always there to swallow down frogs and look adorable.
Sure, there are layers of mythology in every episode for super fans, but The Mandalorian is more than capable of standing on its own, which is what makes it such a terrific TV series.
Watch The Mandalorian on Disney+.
