Skeleton Crew keeps getting better.

I am absolutely loving the show. Normally we do not get to watch it until Sunday, was super excited to see the new episode today.

I caught up with this over Christmas. It's surprisingly great. It's very much a kids show - not in the sense that that phrase is used as a byword for shitness, but more like some of the best entertainment ever made is made for kids (e.g. Paddington 2, or Muppets Christmas Carol, or Bluey, or Princess Bride).

There's a lot to like as an adult - the kids act like kids, not weirdly precocious Hollywood brats, it doesn't over-use the Volume, and it's primarily reference points aren't just other Star Wars projects. It was cute to see Aldanhi get a mention, but it's more interested in evoking things like Peter Pan, the Wizard of Oz, and the various Amblin films (shockingly enough, even stuff that Disney doesn't own).

I've enjoyed watching it week to week but I'm looking forward to convincing someone else to watch it and being able to binge it.

Some shows benefit from week to week, and some from being bingeable, this is definitely one that will be great to watch in an evening.

It took a little bit for me to get into it, but I think having the pairs trade spots in the last episode did wonders for character development. I'm really enjoying it now.

I'm kinda curious what Lucas thinks of it. He's been open to discussing the shows in the past, and not everything he's said has been negative, so I wonder if we'll hear from him.
