It is a sci-fi / western type of series, with The Mandalorian being a very Clint Eastwood-esque bounty hunter (i.e. gunfighter)  , and so the new adventure begins, and he goes after his first major asset... and what a surprise that is! I won't say what the asset is... so, no spoilers here. 
And as one character says, "I have spoken", lol

Well, I've seen episode 2 and ya know, it all reminds me of the really old 1949 TV serial,
Rocketman!!!! first released before I was born...haha... only
The Mandalorian doesn't have rockets attached to his back, but the look is similar... and he has a spaceship instead. God, how I loved watching those hokey serials as a kid, sitting in front of the TV, spellbound.
and as far as the asset he gets - um, a child, the following picture says it all:
it's Star Wars, but as a TV serial, what fun...
