Eli’s Favorite Show of 2019

The Mandalorian

The Disney+ series The Mandalorian chronicled the exploits of a bounty hunter instead of focusing on the Jedi and it expanded the Star Wars universe in new and interesting ways with a mysterious story and a cast of characters that were intriguing enough to keep you coming back for more when Disney+ released a new episode every Friday. The series never ceases to be mesmerizing, even if you are not a Star Wars fan.
