My main thought during the first half of The Mandalorian was "can a show work where the main dude doesn't talk much?"

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Nov 13 '19, 21:22

What other shows feature main dudes who don't talk much?

The second thought was "are they going to make it work by having secondary characters do all the talking, Midnight Run style?"

Which they kind of did.

I like the actor but I think his voice is distractingly high for this voice over. -- nm - Max Nov 13, 22:41 1

can a show work where they don't show the face of the main dude/main star? -- nm - Flavorize--strolling through Disney+ Nov 13, 22:24
Clint Eastwood 'spaghetti westerns' as the name with no name, fist full of dollars, a few dollars more etc. -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 22:14 4
- Fair, but I was thinking shows as in TV shows. As an ongoing thing, it'll be difficult. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 22:27 3
  - well they made 3 of them which was a lot in the 60s before sequelitis, could of made more but didn't have a truck big enough to keep Clint interested -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 22:34 2

Elliott is rather a quiet guy on Mr Robot. -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 21:51 1
- I suppose that's fair, yes. But that's partially worked around by having him talk to the viewer. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 22:09
I can think of a bunch of movies, but not really any tv shows. Except Hector Salamanca (but not really main). -- nm - mafic Nov 13, 21:47
