Too many are missing this exact point. People have gotten so wrapped up in these serialized shows that they feel that's all anything can be. And don't get me wrong, there are some great shots out there, but there's room for others.
Me and my wife watch this every week, and my 8 year old son has been wanting to, but he always ends up finding something else to do around the time that we end up watching and forgets. Well last Saturday we qued it up and he plopped on the couch with us and was fully immersed in the show. My 5 year old daughter saw what was going on and wanted to in on it too. Next thing I know the 4 of us are snuggled up on the couch wrapped in a blanket enjoying the show. And the cool thing was I didn't really have to explain shyt to them. It's pickup and play TV with a cool adventure every week. It's the same kind of adventure shows I grew up watching as a kid in the 80's, and my parents before me with shyt like "The Cisco Kid". There's a huge void for programming like that these days, just fun TV that the whole family can enjoy on some "tune in next week to see what dangers our adventurer and his companion have to face," type shyt. I guess Favreau recognized that and it speaks to why this has such a wide appeal.
My man Giancarlo came to crush the buildings it seems like the empire wants to put The Child In a palpatine position of power and raise it under their regime.
