It kinda was. The consensus I've seen is to just watch the first 3 episodes of Season 1, they are supposed to be the best that the show has to offer, and were like a mini-movie. Everything else is in S1 until the end was more of a ho-hum "adventure of the week" deal. S1 also had an unfortunate bit with Gina Carano's character as she is introduced by being able to out-wrestle large alien males, and is able to literally get the drop on Mando while beating him up through his armor using just her bare hands. Both seasons of the show make a yuge deal about how ultra-strong the Beskar armor is, but he's getting whupped like a pinata by a bare-knuckled broad through it. In fairness, I recall that there was a line that Carano's character was a genetically-modified supersoldier created by the Rebel Alliance, but that would raise a ton of questions on its own. The show also has an issue with having a bunch of different directors. So the last ep of Season 1 is directed by Taika Waititi, and if you didn't think that his Thor Ragnarok was hilarious then it'll be a slog as he decided to put his sense of humor into it.
