I'm not a big StarWars guy but I don't hate it either. I finished the second episode of Andor yesterday and meh, does this get a lot better or am I just wasting my time?

Alright, y'all (and the sunk cost fallacy) have convinced me to least power through the 3rd episode.

The 3rd episode was better than the first two. I still haven't decided if I'll keep up with it, but glad I finished that one.

@paul i thought it was really good around the 4th/5th episodes, then got worse. I didn’t enjoy the show that much overall. Didn’t feel very Star Warsy. I get that they were trying to do something different, but IMO the writer completely missed what makes Star Wars Star Wars. Favreau on the other hand totally gets it.

@Meat_Bucket @paul I think it's a matter of what one wants. To me, both Mandalorian and Boba Fett have more of a fanfiction feel to them, just building on canon and not really offering something new, while Andor at least tries to expand the universe.

@janne @paul I respect that they tried something new. I just didn’t enjoy it. Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s better. Man do feels less like fanfic than the prequels did to me. Feels like genuine Star Wars.

@Meat_Bucket @paul My favorite of the recent TV shows has probably been Kenobi. It at least managed to salvage some of the mayhem created with ep 1-3.
