    And both of those definitely got the “popular series that drags on way too long” treatment.

      Mandalorian is definitely my guilty pleasure. I just like the setting so much. Book of Boba however fucked up hard, besides the Tusken Raiders arc, I keep looking if there is a fan edit of just the Tusken Raider scenes and haven’t found anything yet. It is really annoyiny how they had to interweave it with the Mandalorian.

        It was, Andor is great. However, The Mandalorian is at least one season too long, the third season isn’t even about The Mandalorian anymore, he was just a side character for a large part of it.

        I guess everyone has their own cutoff point. I like works that are longer than movies but don’t go on for a bajillion seasons, especially if they actually seem like they want to tell a story. For me, it doesn’t even matter if the series is consistently good, I just don’t want to watch that much content for one show. Plus the longer it goes on without reaching a conclusion, the more likely it is that it’s just going to get canceled.

        I suppose Andor doesn’t really deserve to get lumped in with the likes of Mandalorian here, considering that it managed to finish its story in two seasons.
