... The once gleamingly exciting Mandalorian is in danger of losing its shine.

Rated: 3/5

Rolling Stone

It’s functional and little more, and illustrates yet another reason the whole Book of Boba thing was silly. By offloading the emotional reunion onto another show, The Mandalorian found itself with a much less exciting way to begin its own new season.

AV Club

Serving up a pretty slick space battle but lacking any real urgency

Rated: C+

Raising Whasians

A slow start. I hope the writers are not relying on Grogu to pull the weight of the entire season.

That Shelf

Season three, in its first two episodes, claws out of the ground but barely so. It’s a boring, meandering, lifeless endeavor that only occasionally sparks to life thanks to the visuals.
