My wife and I are big SciFi fans and in particular - big Star Wars fans. We started watching the series, but we just found it kind of boring. It never drew us is...yet. Mark Hi Mark, are you watching it or are you WATCHING it. There are so many subtleies that you can relate to if you know your Star Wars canon, we find ourselves going "Oh, I remember that" and "that's who he/she is" more than once in most episodes. In the first season I found if that I just sat back and waited to be "entertained" a lot of the interesting stuff just flowed past, so I went back and watched it again and then the underlying story threads came through. For the second season we started watching it from the first episode and soaked it in along the journey. Cheers Gary We were watching it and hoping for good. But, my very forgiving and Sci-fi loving wife who wanted to like it just found it dull. I did also. It may be a great story, but the presentation is not very good. Mark

Anybody ready for season 2? We are looking forward to it very much! Mrs likes it as much as I do, and The Child is really cute! Can’t wait to see how Rhys season unfolds. I have not seen any of it, I keep reading good reviews, I told my boys I will get a device to add Disney +, would a FireStick be good enough, picture and sound.... I told them we can watch a few episodes a night to catch up...lol...FireStick does have Disney +, doesn't it?

I use a Fire TV device on my media room TV. Also bought a fire based Best Buy TV for our basemenet. Disney Plus and HBO Max both work (in addition to Netflix, Hulu and Movies Anywhere).
So long answer longer Yes it should work.

I think the lowest price was $29.99. It’s a good device and offers most every add on pay service. Enjoy, This is the way.

It a double edge sword in a way. When you have a show as big as Mandalorian its much easier to create a viral sensation around it by releasing one episode a week. That way you entire audience is on the same page. On a binge release I may be on episode 2 and you may be on 6 etc. It makes it harder for things like podcast, chat rooms, just people talking about the show etc to be all on the same page. But binge releases generally have better rates of people watching an entire season all the way through, more so on those kinda B level shows that are good, but not must watch every week shows. We only steam in our house, so if a show is released weekly, we generally wait 2 - 4 weeks before thinking about watching it, so we can watch it on our terms. However, if something else is fully released during that time frame, we'll push off the other show and typically forget to circle back. So I agree that it's a double edge sword for sure... That sounds nice and relaxing!
