The Mandalorian - Episode 1.04 - Chapter 4 - Review

Image
Chapter 4 of The Mandalorian introduced ex-Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune, played by Gina Carano. Her introduction added a unique and necessary layer to the show. It took until episode 4 for there to be any female representation in The Mandalorian . Which was a bit too late. There were 4 females who had anything of significance in this episode, so a 400% increase is a good start.

Knives Out - Review

Image
Knives Out  is a good ol' fashioned "whodunnit" with very modern sensibilities. The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson crafted a smart, fun, and wildly entertaining murder mystery with an all-star cast.

The Mandalorian - Episode 1.03 - Chapter 3 - Review

It is rare when a TV show continually gets better week after week. But the first episode of The Mandalorian  was merely "good", so the rest could be great . Chapter 3, subtitled "The Sin", took everything good about the first 2 episodes and expounded on it ten fold. There will be a few spoilers throughout if you have not watched the episode yet.

The Mandalorian - Episode 1.02 - Chapter 2 - Review

Image
While "Chapter 2" was a couple minutes shorter than "Chapter 1", it seemed to accomplish a whole lot more. Rick Famuyiwa crafted wonderful action sequences, and an intimate story that pleased all of the senses.
