I love that they can't even find anything to rag about. So they rightly rag on the rest of Star Wars not being up to the standard

Actually that's not exactly what he said. He said "I've seen all the episodes as my kids watch." Which is curious wording, why not just say you watched it with your kids? I see a lot of stuff on TV that my kids are watching, but I'm not paying very close attention to it.

If I actively am watching a show with my kids I wouldn't say " I saw all the episodes while my kids watched" I would say "I watched that with my kids" The fact that he had to use 2 different words to describe how he & his children viewed the show tells me he wasn't actively watching.

This isn't the type of show that you can have on in the background & just watch the action sequences.

Ok this show was fucking great because they went back to the story telling of Rogue One.

The Rebellion was Morally right but did MORALLY horrible things.

Late to the party, but I'm really enjoying this so far. I watched the first 5 episodes this weekend. I didn't even think it was that slow (the biggest criticism I heard.) I enjoyed Rogue One so it's probably not surprising since this strikes a similar tone. I'd certainly rate this way above Obi-Wan, which should be a wake up call to someone at Disney (but obviously won't be.)

You haven't even got to the parts that hit yet. Stick with it.

My buddy missed it so I'm re-watching it with him. Definitely recommend that. I missed a PILE of shit, little details and dialogue that weren't critical, but added to the story.

I guess what I'm saying is it's worth a rewatch.

It's really good IMO.

It makes me sad the obiwan came out before this because there are serious lessons learned in this series that could of helped them tell a more compelling story

I DEMAND A CAD BANE SERIES GODDAMMIT!!!

I haven't heard anything official, but a podcast I listen to absolutely loved it. LOVED IT (rightfully so), but they were complaining that not enough people were watching it.

So if this thing doesn't track well....you can bet there will be more Obi-Wan and less Andor. And much much much more sadness from Buehler445.

I'm hoping Andor has a strong performance during review season. Disney loves accolades, and they could decide to have their "popcorn Star Wars" and their "Star Wars for award season" (which would have felt ridiculous to type out 6 months ago).

Unfortunately, the latter part of that is why Andor might not get seriously considered. Andor getting nominated for Best Drama and Best Actor at the Critic Choice Awards might bode well for the awards shows that follow, though.

He such a fucking killer actor

I'm not saying that it can't happen with Andor, but, just a reminder:


Disney's bleeding cash, and Iger's running out of rival companies he can buy to mask the decline. So don't count on too many pet/specialty projects getting long leashes, regardless of how many awards they earn.

This isn't the era of Hill Street Blues.

Finished episode 7 last night and something struck me. I don't know if this is accurate or not, but this is the first episode I think I've seen any non-humans. I didn't give it much thought previously but it suddenly felt very obvious to me.

1st scene of episode 1 has a female alien bartender, but she only has 1 line I think. Also in episode 1 there is a giant salamander looking thing that the black guy brings along as intimidation to try to get Andor to pay him whatever he owes.
