Seems like they do it both

The Boys, The Man in the high castle, Goliath, Bosch, Hanna, Good Omens, The Marvellous Mrs Maisel and Sneaky Pete all released in one go

Yes, that is why I specified 'all' for Netflix and 'many' for Amazon in my original post.

I presume seeing the Netflix release model as the rule rather than an outlier is a misconception based on them being the first big player in the market and the Irish market not having as many streaming options.

I disagree it's many. More like a small percentage compared to their overall releases.

That's me done anyway

That one second scene reminded me of Rogue One!

Big Words Mandalorian. Big Words!

31st March

Agent Coulson

Should start to pop up in the next 24 hours.

Stop moaning ffs

So this is tomorrow.
All my US pals are staying up late to see can they login and watch the first episode.

Meanwhile I’m trying to find things to do to ignore the phone and internet until March (until tomorrow let’s be honest)

Loads more new tv spots have dropped. This is going to be great but not the huge release it should Have been.

Or maybe it’ll work in its favour?

c.p.w.g.w

What time is it available from state side?

NIMAN

So what percentage of people in the UK who have been looking forward to this show will be watching it for the 1st time in March 2020 when it launches?

I'd say about 1%.

First episode already available

Off topic but it seems all the OT Star Wars films are in 4K and the fox fanfare is back in front as they’ve put up all the deleted scenes and bonus stuff.
This channel sounds like a steal for the price.

I just watched episode 1 ,,, It's very good, has kinda a dark humor , and great SFX.

Well worth the hunt to find it.

Did you not find the visuals just way too clean. Everything is shiney, even stuff that's supposed to be weathered...Also found the music was awful in parts...Otherwise it seemed good, will certainly continue watching

Really enjoyed that but the first

bounty

was a bit of an annoyance.
Interested to see where this will go.

DVD-Lots

So yeah, it looks great, it feels like Star Wars in places with plenty of nods to the originals, nice droids, aliens and puppets et al.....but I have issues.

First bounty was annoying with the american accent, just put ANY accent other than american in there.
FOB Key? WTF? Just call it a Bof key or something, why have something earthly in a Galaxy far, far away? It's not even for access, it's a tracking device.
I find the lack of music disturbing, no theme tune, nothing of note, just a foreboding drone.
No Intro crawl. No background, just dumps you in. But I like how we are being introduced to the lore of the Lorians.
He walks a lot, like this is a catwalk or something, plus I don't think they nailed a baddass walk, just looks like a saunter to me.

Yes I'm nit picking but this looked sooooo good from the trailers but it just felt flat a lot of the time.

6/10 would keep watching.

Varik

Enjoyed that, happy it's only 3 days until next one.

Huge spoiler so definitely don't look.

Maybe we'll get a name for yoda's species.

Glebee

Is it your standard Star Wars action, suitable for 10 year old to watch?? Hes seen all the other films

Venom

Very good first episode overall. The visuals looked amazing but like others have said the music felt lacking and just wrong for a Star Wars setting. Looking forward to next week.


Really loved

The IG droid fighting was awesome. The Mandalorian safe house scenes were really interesting and I loved how the MC is upgrading his armor bounty by bounty.

Minor niggles

The whole learning to ride bit, seemed pointless and I just didn't feel those creatures were really needed to get to the location the bounty was at. The camera seemed to linger a tad to long on certain scenes in the market such as the monkey lizard in the cage scene and felt a tad heavy handed, in a OMG remember this character kind of way.

Yes.

GSPfan

I really enjoyed it. The action scenes were very enjoyable and like all good pilot episodes it left you with a great little teaser at the end to make you stick around for more.

Relikk

The music is... weird. It sounded like a Rocky training montage at one point.

No doubt he'll decide not to turn over the bounty to Werner Herzog, thus a running battle will ensue between them throughout the series.

Stop moaning ffs

The composer is really accomplished. He did black panther and Creed as far as I now?

The soundtrack is streaming on all the platforms.

Effing show isn’t though. Ragin

Relikk

36 minutes long, also. What the hell? :mad:

Stop moaning ffs

Bit confused. People on twitter saying it’s an hour and others saying it’s 32 minutes. Who knows

c.p.w.g.w

Should look a lot grittier considering its based after the collapse of the Empire

Relikk

Three days until the next episode, then they're on a weekly schedule until the 13th of December. Next one after that is the 18th, with the final episode of the series on the 27th.

And because it's grit? :pac:
But yeah everything did look very shiny and new

I was thinking the alien that helped him looked familiar, then I see it's Nick Nolte. Maybe it does look like him.
I like how they played on everyone's expectations by saying the bounty was 50 years old.
Was trying to work out if we could get Sabine in this. She would probably still be young

I was surprised Filoni directed and not Favreau since they usually get the bigger name to direct the first episode when they create.

Stop moaning ffs

That was fantastic.

Slydice

1: I liked it.

D'awe lil Yoda!

The people who look after the sets could mess things up a bit better. Some dirty places looked a bit .. too clean.. like.. clean dirty.. made-up-messy

The effects for the

Blurrgs

were ok-ish.. one bit jumped out where they weren't kicking up any dust as the rode along a surface that looked like it had some.

The end credits definitely had me thinking of Rocky!
