I enjoyed it, with some qualifications. It felt like old-school Star Wars, which was helped by locations that very much reminded you of the original films, A New Hope in particular. Dave Filoni certainly seems to 'get' Star Wars and Jon Favreau is always a safe pair of hands.
Someone involved in it's creation obviously remembered how well blending space opera and westerns worked for Firefly and used that to good effect.
Story-wise though, it was a mess. One of the strengths of shows on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime is that they don't have to conform to standard network running times and a set number of episodes. This means they can take their time with their world-building and story-telling, a lesson that's come from HBO and it's lack of ad breaks.
The pacing in the Mandalorian was a mess and my biggest bugbear. It started well and then seemed to want to wrap everything up way too quickly. The biggest example for me (without spoilers) was the way two characters in the last episode decided to set up shop together, despite being ready to kill each other only an episode before. It was lazy way of clearing the decks at the end of the series and makes no sense on a show like this.
Hopefully they'll iron out those kinks for the second series, much in the way Star Trek Discovery did (and hopefully Picard will).
