The Mandalorian: Chapter 22: Guns for Hire (2023)
Best Episode of S3 So Far!
After The Book of Boba Fett - an underwhelming but slightly overrated venture in the evergrowing Star Wars universe - my hype for this new season was slightly deflated. Thankfully the show continues to show why it brought me out of my Star Wars slump following the rough course correction following The Last Jedi.
And when it comes to my favourite episode of the season so far, it's got to be Chapter 22. I could list a bunch of little details about why that's the case; Jack Black; a huge tribute to Blade Runner; Jack Black; a nifty little exploration of the droid lifestyle; and did I mention JACK BLACK?!
But the reason I had such a good time with this episode was seeing Mando and Bo-Katan put on more of a detective cap rather than just blasting everything in sight. I mean, there's plenty of shooting, but that's beside the point. Seeing a genuine friendship blossom through their different conversations - and the culmination of this in that final, truly well-deserved scene - made it feel much more than just a mediocre mystery episode.
P. S. Jack Black was really cool and I hope we cross paths with him again.
Dexter: New Blood: Runaway (2021)
Tick...tick...tick...
The meh start to New Blood feels like a distant memory after these last two episodes. If the rest of this season can maintain the suspense and tension built up, we could be set to receive the best Dexter season since...well, ever!
Hawkeye: Echoes (2021)
Step up
I've not really cared for this series so far (and still have my reservations) but this was the fun time I expected from the show with some entertaining, outlandish set pieces. The titular character still remains to be the worst thing about his own show but the introduction of Echo has me interested enough to stick with it.
Chucky: Just Let Go (2021)
The goods keep coming!
Having had so much exposure to Chucky in the last few episodes, it was refreshing to have him sparingly used especially when it lead to *THAT* reveal. Don Mancini is having a lot of fun making this series and it's infectious.
