When should I stop watching the Mandalorian?

I'm considering finally getting around to watch the Mandalorian. What season does it start to fall off?

End with the season 2 finale. Then pretend nothing else happens after.

[solrize@lemmy.ml]

Like drug addiction, the best time to stop is before it starts.

Watch all of it and make up your own mind.

It gets dumber after season 2, but it's still kinda fun. For live action SW shows, it's basically Andor >>> Mando S1-2 > Skeleton Crew >> everything else shuffled around according to personal taste.

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

Id recommend stopping after you finish the series as there aren't any episodes after that

[coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca]

Why watch any of it? Good storytelling has become a lost art, at least when it comes to any mainstream media. Go to a local play instead, or watch a creative Youtuber.

Edit to address the downvoters: Why do you tolerate such empty slop they package as "entertainment" when they stopped making any effort like 20 years ago?

I enjoyed the whole thing, but I also had a friend who had already seen it all help me adjust my expectations appropriately.

I think, with the proper expectations, it's not hard to enjoy anything.

They snuck one or two into Boba Fett's run.

Stop caring about what anyone says on social media and decide for yourself.

Even a bad episode of Mandalorian is still, like, perfectly fine. I’d just watch until you’re no longer enjoying it, or you finish it—whichever comes first.

[deathbybigsad@sh.itjust.works]

I enjoyed the whole thing, although I'm not really a StarWars Fan, so idk if it would be good if you judge it by that standards.

I'm not sure what kinda of a question this is lol, just keep watching and stop when you get bored. Its the same rule of thumb for every show.

@jewbacca117
Can't argue with that. But usually when I'm interested in a series I watch the episodes of each season in a random order, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to accidentally start with the shit parts.

[hubertmanne@piefed.social]

ooh. I might have done that. I ended when baby yoda left with someone.

[wizbiz@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I couldn't finish the first episode it was so boring. If you're not interested let it go. If it is interesting keep going. It's as simple as that

[spankmonkey@lemmy.world]

But usually when I’m interested in a series I watch the episodes of each season in a random order,

Does that usually work the first time through?

While the episodes for Mandalorian are self contained, they do build on each other and watching them randomly is gonna be a bit confusing for the background story.

[neidu3@sh.itjust.works]

When you don't enjoy it anymore. For me that was towards the end of season 1, but I can understand that many enjoy the series more than I did.

[comrademiao@lemmy.world]

I don’t find it worth it at all. Rewatch andor instead

[hammerjack@lemmy.zip]

If you don't actually care about continuity then this may not matter to you, but be aware that season 2 ends with a solid ending for the series. Then The Book of Boba Fett came out and was doing so poorly they shoved the season 3 premiere of Mandalorian as one of the episodes of Boba Fett. So if you went from the s2 finale of Mandalorian to the first episode of s3 of Mandalorian you'll be confused about how many things changed.

Also, season 3 of Mandalorian is when things get silly, like the Jack Black episode and the Pirate King episode.

You might want to watch Chapter 5 of The Book of Boba Fett, you don't need to watch any other episodes.
