That’s no mark against Stranger Things, which debuted its third season all the way back on the 4th of July earlier this year. That the Mandalorian, which only just released its third episode in its second week of being available, just now overtook Stranger Things means that the series managed to hold the top spot (or close to it) for 21 weeks after season three dropped.

How The Mandalorian Fits Into the Star Wars Timeline

Warning: this article contains spoilers for the first three episodes of The Mandalorian!

The Mandalorian is a many-faceted Star Wars series. While on one hand, it's a Lone Wolf and Cub-inspired space-western about a gritty bounty hunter and his Baby Yoda companion, it's also a series that builds on the complicated history of Mandalore and its warriors.
