I hope positive word of mouth from the fans/general audience will help improve the viewership numbers for Skeleton Crew. So far it's a good show. I recommend watching it
I was apprehensive about this show after the mess that was The Acolyte, but the trailers convinced me this show had a chance. The best thing about this show is the sense of fun. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. I don’t think Star Wars has been this fun since at least 1983. Movies and shows are supposed to be entertaining and an escape from our daily lives. Skeleton Crew is doing that very well and I don’t want it to stop. Make Star Wars Fun Again!
You didn't mention Andor, in which the third episode was crafted as the conclusion of an arc. Also, Andor suffered the "happy problem" of scheduling issues that _forced_ Disney to drop the first two episodes at once. If they had issued them one at a time as originally planned, that would have been a disaster. Actually, they should have released the first _three_ episodes at once to firmly hook the audience in one sitting. And Skeleton Crew should have also dropped the first three episodes at once. And that's part of the "third episode curse" right now. First, there seems to be no logic behind how they're dividing their story into episodes in most cases (Andor being a notable exception). Many people have said it's as though they created a long movie and then just arbitrarily hacked it into roughly half-hour sections. They don't seem to understand that even when it's a single story, each episode must still provide the audience with a distinct beginning, middle, and conclusion...but with enough story momentum to carry the audience to the next episode. That is an element of writing talent that they don't seem to have learned. But this isn't a new thing...shows like X-Files and Fringe have done it, and several others. It's what Andor did at least with its arc format, although Andor should have been released as five "movie events" instead of twelve episodes. BTW, so far Skeleton Crew is in my "like" category, having recognized it for what it is: A nostalgic take on 80s kids adventure movies, the way the first two seasons of The Mandalorean were a nostalgic take on the spaghetti Western.
Not sure where you're looking mate, but its #2 on RT and #3 on IMDB currently. I don't think it has to be in the top 10 to be a good story that is positively received by those who watch it, but it's ranking highly regardless. Cheers!

This show is a blast. And yes, maybe those who have fallen off with recent Star Wars offerings can be brought back into the fold. Cheers!
I think viewership will go up. The binge watching curse is most will wait see if others enjoyed it and then watch it all.
Very true.
That's what my sister's gonna do.

I’m with you on that!

👍🎉🎉🎉
The show is great.
No, but dream on. Its not even in the top ten new streaming shows. Its DOA. The audience unsubscribed.

I have to admit I fast forwarded through parts of episode 1, but episodes 2 and 3 kept my attention.
