I’ll be interested to see your analysis on top of ours here after you’ve watched it through.
Unlike TCW, I think this show suits movies over shorter episodes, as its ongoing story is quite tight, and it’s got a far larger focus on its core cast than on being an anthology. I think with all the guff cut out it could end up being pretty great.
And unlike the current Mandalorian, where it’s a bit more flexible, I think season two ends pretty conclusively and with a clear direction, so we don’t need to see how season three pans out before finalising decisions on editing season two.
