I actually liked The Book of Boba Fett more than I expected to. After reading all the mixed reviews I didn't think it would be that good but I'm definitely on the side that think it's worth watching! The only thing wrong with it is the casting could be better. Temeura Morrison (Boba Fett) and Ming-Wa Wen (Fennec) both look out of place, you get used to it after a while but they should of chose better actors. They're just not that believable as bad asses when they fight, both being 60+ years old doesn't help. I still liked the story though and wouldn't mind seeing another season. If you're a Star Wars fan or even just a sci-fi fan then you should give this a try.
For some reason a lot of people don't want to admit this, but The Book of Boba Fett is often better than the Mandalorian. Not always, but often enough.
There are already many reviews of this show, so my own review will address the common criticism of the slow pace. I don't think The Book of Baba Fett is slow. In fact, I think the pacing is it's greatest strength. The storytelling is brilliantly structured with cliffhangers, intrigue and plenty of action.
My main criticism of the show is that Boba is a bit too nice. He tries to be everyone's friend. In my mind, Boba Fett should have had much more of a mean streak. He's a bounty hunter and crime boss, so he should have had a more cruel demeanor. Still, the show does what you want it to (unless you're one of the strange people that thinks it's too slow).

Three eps in, and a boring plot that drags on and on - Boba trying to be recognized and respected, and he continues to just look lame.
No one can shoot, mercy for every single enemy, Boba can't seem to fight without others stepping in to help (he hasn't used even one of his suit gadgets, yet!), he has hired some Power Ranger wanna be's, and he's going to tame a rancor...?! :(
Also disappointing is that the episodes barely break a half hour!
I'll watch a couple more, but I have a feeling this series is best suited for either Saturday mornings, or after school specials.

After the second season of The Mandalorian, the story of the Star Wars universe continues with the iconic Boba Fett. This bounty hunter didn't have much relevance in the films, but he became such a memorable character that he deserved to star in his own story. Jon Favreau, now together with director Robert Rodriguez, returns to using the same formula as The Mandalorian, which is to offer a science fiction story with a strong influence on the spaghetti western. Through the flashbacks in the middle of the series, we see how Boba Fett survived knowing what happened to him in Return Of The Jedi and we can also see how Boba evolves into someone with his own autonomy. Here Boba Fett wants to be a better person than he was in his days as a bounty hunter. The Mandalorian continues to have an important participation in the last episodes, which in part seems to overshadow Boba Fett, but that doesn't mean that Boba is less relevant. They really knew how to create a character that honors both the character and Return Of The Jedi. Despite the great digital effects, there are also some practical effects that can be seen in the series, which help preserve the integrity of the original Star Wars trilogy. Of the cameos that can be seen in this series, Cad Bane's is the most interesting. Beyond the fact that he is a character heavily influenced by western legend Lee Van Cleef, he cannot confirm the events of The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch as part of Star Wars continuity, but what is most interesting is that the series gives clear indications that he was once Boba Fett's mentor. That is something that was planned to be shown in The Clone Wars animated series, but it was not due to its cancellation. Fortunately, a mention of these characters was made in this series. The Book Of Boba Fett is a great series that, along with The Mandalorian, manages to show that Star Wars still has more fascinating things to offer. My final rating for this series is a 9/10.
I recently finished The Book of Boba Fett and it was actually better than I thought it would be. It follows bounty hunter Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) and mercenary Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) as they run the underworld of Jabba the Hutts old territory on the sands of Tatooine. It's not the greatest Star Wars series made, especially after watching how good The Mandalorian and Andor were, but it's still worth a watch. Like those shows it has a big budget movie feel to it. It just looks and feels bigger than a tv show. There were some throw away episodes that were kind of boring but still enough good where I would recommend it to any Stars Wars fan. Just don't expect it to be as good as The Mandalorian or Andor.
