I don't get the positive reception I'm reading about Andor here. I've watched it since I've seen it mentioned in positive light multiple times - the rebellion plotline is nice but main character development is super dragged out and feels pointless - the arduous childhood flashbacks, dramatic sister searching - to end up screwing in Miami - so many episodes felt weak and irrelevant. The heist was dragged out far too much - who cares what sw goat milk tastes like ? Entire season could be condensed into a one and a half hour movie and nothing of value would be lost. Not saying it's bad - but far from "the wire in SW universe" or other praises people seem to be singing it.

Could not agree more. It’s fine and certainly better than Obi Wan and the Book of Boba Fett, but by no means is it rave-worthy.

  It puts the war back into Star Wars.

I agree on the flashbacks, but they were IMO the only weak part of the series. The costumes, music, sets, cinematography, writing, and acting were all superb. And it built up into a culmination at the end that tied everything together, without wasting previous setups. Also, the bittersweet sense of sacrifice and hope shining through a tsunami of oppression is so relevant and positive compared to so much of the pointlessly dark series out there. Did you finish the season? It gets progressively more tense and entertaining.

It's made up of three arcs and the first arc is bad. No way around that. It doesn't set up any themes or have any payoffs, it's just a boring slog. However, the spycraft and prison stuff was the most engaging thing Disney's ever put on a screen.

  The final action sequence of the first arc is good, and had a great emotional payoff.

    Yeah but it wasn't worth the two hours of setup. Considering where they end the season I really feel like they wasted not setting up stronger themes and motifs. It could have had some juicy payoff.
