With an action-packed finale, 'The Mandalorian' smartly sets up season two. Alan Sepinwall's recap
“Redemption,” like last week’s “The Reckoning,” was a more complex piece of business than most of what the series was attempting this season. It had to bring closure for a lot of characters — some killed off, like IG-11 and the Client and Kuiil, or the majority of the Mandalorians; others, like Cara and Greef and the Armorer, written out for now.
IG-11 was at the center of payoffs to two notable running gags: Mando’s face, and Mando’s hatred of droids. The glimpse of Pedro Pascal, his mustachioed mug covered in blood and sweat, was a clever way for the show to sidestep its own rules about the helmet. As IG-11 points out, it is not a living thing, and therefore Mando is allowed to show his face in its presence without losing his status as a Mandalorian.
And the farewell to IG-11 was just lovely. We still don’t know why Mando is so anti-droid — at this point, the explanation almost feels like it would require some ridiculous-type flashback story where he has a lot of terrible experiences with droids within a very short window of time — but his antipathy toward machines in general and this one in particular was very well established across the season.
