Hated season 3's premiere. But I personally enjoyed yesterday's episode. I think the Mandalorian story line is decent, especially some of the character development.

I hate the Grogu stuff and think it's just fan service. Even last week's episode had a flashback with a cameo that was clearly meant for fans. Took me out of it tbh.

I also didn't really enjoy the little back door subplot thing going on with the new republic on coruscant. I think they're just trying to save money by decreasing how much Pedro Pascal is in it.

For a typical cop drama the first two seasons were at least watchable because they had underlying plots in the background. After that it got really really really bad and very clearly just caters to the old white people who are anti tech/social rights/whatever.

People bring up how difficult it's been for Cox to get a job because he's so used to acting blind. There were multiple times in this show where he'd like gaze into the distance off-screen as though he were thinking while talking to someone and I could tell that was one of those moments. He also would randomly speak a few words with an American accent sometimes. It was jarring because I know he's British and it was interesting hearing him speak that way.

I didn't think the show was the worst thing in the world but it wasn't great. I thought the wife was the worst honestly. She knows he's a high ranking member of MI6 and then she incredibly easily loses trust in him because he can't talk about work, and immediately goes to a friend she knows works at the CIA who says she's just on vacation; riiight.
