It's a better episode than the first, but it's all just a bit plain for me. I remember saying this about The Mandalorian too, but they're just not doing anything new with the material yet; it's all repeated themes that TV has been doing for fifty years. And I really hope they're not going to spend half the series' runtime in flashbacks.
Spoiler
And I just can't shake the feeling that Boba Fett would have killed every Tusken and left the first chance he got. His whole character used to be that he was a brutal, ruthless fighter. Unless his time being slowly digested has changed his personality, and then at some point between the flashbacks and the Daimyo bits he reverted, I can't see him spending his time helping the Tusken clan that took him as a slave and nearly killed him. It just feels like they're trying too hard to make him a sympathetic character, because Disney wants all of its leads to be family friendly and likeable.

And his gaffi stick looked shit.

Enjoyed it better than the first episode

Yeah he's much too nice for a ruthless bounty hunter/ crime boss, maybe have him blast a couple of motherfuckers away on a whim.

Gomorrah Season 1 - 5 (Sky)

Although season 5 (the last season) was the weakest of the series, it was still very good TV as the ending of the entire series was superb. Some of the best TV I have watched from the acting, script, cinematography, editing and music. It had far more highs than lows but I am glad it ended. Hopefully a spin off show will pop up from Sky Italia.

8.5/10

Prompted me to sail the seven seas and hoover the whole thing back up - think I stopped at S3 and even though it is bastard grim am gonna watch it again.

I watched series 5 last night...what an utter masterpiece their characterisation is, just brilliant. We don't fight at weddings....Hard Right Jay....the adult spelling bee...the girls hockey team—the extras wetting themselves trying not to laugh at the banter about "mitts" :lol: ..." fuck you Shoresy!"...at the buck and doe— talking in french, and then the series finale. ssssUBLIME!

Good enough.

It seems nigh on impossible to do so otherwise in the UK, which is a real shame.
