I can understand how some view this series as too slow, but I'm enjoying the deliberate approach, attention to detail, and character focus. The set design is also great (especially on Coruscant), and I like how a single TIE fighter is shown as pretty intimidating.

He sort of is at this point...he isn't the fully-formed rebel Cassian that we know from Rogue One, but you can see how confident and knowledgeable he is in certain respects, and how he asserts himself during the heist planning and rehearsal in this episode...Luthien had a good instinct when he recruited Andor.

Although I am enjoying Andor, I kind of feel like I am watching the 8 hour directors cut of Oceans 11....in space.

We're seeing how Mon Mothma is truly on an island. She has few corners to turn to in attempting to organize the rebellion, and it's getting worse with new financial restrictions and more Imperial spies. Even her home life is no refuge...her husband would likely turn her in if he knew, and possibly her daughter as well.

Ok, decided to watch more episodes based on comments here. It did get a lot better, much more compelling. The first two episodes though were tough. Lol

I think this is the best constructed Star Wars show I've seen. Everything about it feels like care was put in even with some budget constraints.
I may personally prefer Mandalorian as it is exactly what I wanted, but Andor is easily second due to the quality of this unexpected Star Wars tale.

A loser who is on the run. I'm not liking him. Heck, I liked Reva better

I?m on the other side of the coin. I like how they are taking him from a basic thief, who causes problems for the local imperial authority and turning him into a hardcore rebel in the rebellion. This is what?s called developing a character around a building story.
The one imperial captain (or whatever) is on top of things. These separate rebel sabotages look ?too random to be random?.

I've noticed how hyperbolic and intense our collective focus is on the present. Maybe it is instant access or binge mentality that makes slow burns difficult for people.

This is one of the few shows I haven?t waited for all of the episodes to come out before watching.

The production is freakin excellent. It plays out like a movie. That meteor shower and the fly-through with Tie Fighters in pursuit was movie-perfect.
And I like Andor's back story. Because he's a thief and a scavenger of imperial parts/devices, he has the skills to fight/hack/disrupt the empire. Brilliant!
