While season 3 is not on par with season 2... season 2 of Mandalorian is a very high bar to clear. Season 3 of Mandalorian is IMO better than the first season was, for example. I have watched up to episode 5, but I really like it a lot.
I understand those that are :-/ about the first couple of episodes since you HAVE TO watch Book of Bobba Fett but if you have watched the Book of Bobba Fett then ... this season is in my opinion very good. And I am not alone there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ma...n_3)#Reception
"The Mandalorian was the most streamed television series across all platforms in the United States during the week of March 5, 2023,[46] during the week of March 12, 2023,[47] and during the week of March 19, 2023,[48] and during the week of March 26, 2023."
Episodes 2-5 were most streamed series.
The ratings from viewers and ratings are just a bit below season 2 and in some of the metrics better than season 1. I think that the episode with the cloak & dagger in Coruscant was a bit off, but the episodes I have watched were all good.
Of course... Bo Katan was a character I liked very much since her introduction in the Clone wars over 15 years ago. So, I am biased. A season that has Bo Katan will get thumbs up from me.
And if they throw Sabine Wren there (another one I like), I will give even more thumbs up.
