Mando is on a role so far.

Battlestar was one of the best sci fi series that I've ever seen until the last year, then they got too enamored with all of the religious themes of the show. I would hope that Mando doesn't last enough seasons to wear out its welcome.
Its brilliantly written, the characters are like a labor of love to me, in that the actors just seem so vested in them.
Agents of Shield was that strange series that started weak and then by the end was incredibly strong.
The Mandalorian just needs to avoid too much fan service, and maybe stay away from a full fledged Jedi influence. I love the idea of the spaghetti Western man with no name story. I also hope that they avoid the temptation to keep the Child with him to the point where he starts talking, or becomes the ultimate plot hole solver with incredible powers for the force solving everything. Jango Fett had one of the best descriptors of this story in AOTC. "I'm just a simple man trying to make his way in the Universe" A line reflected by his son Bobba. This is the Mandalorian Story in a nut shell.
