Daughter of Ferrix

This show has built itself a really great scope of paranoia and intrigue. I think what is particularly satisfying is how so few of us saw this coming. It makes it such a treat. We've got back to the Empire as this terrifying force in the universe. It's a really great reminder to fans of what was so deftly constructed in the original trilogy and it's great to discover how Tony Gilroy truly understands the background landscape of those movies that we all love so dearly.

It's refreshing to be afraid of the Empire once again. The final shot is quite contemplative and has some symmetry with Rogue One.

With a bit of a rough start, Andor is proving to become a must watch show.

This episode specifically focusses more on character development and gives the actors the needed screentime to actually act. Long close-ups engage the watchers and we can see the change in our characters unfolding in a way the old films use to do it.

As the previous episode, it's of a high quality, and after the rush of the previous episode, this one is a well paced, visually stunning and emotionally engaging 40 min.

The camera work, acting and editing is on the spot and Benjamin Caron's directing is superb!

I cannot wait for the season's final!

The poker face of the Star Wars universe. This show was always playing the long game, I was going to fold, it had me fooled. It's a drama that kept getting better and better and this week we had a huge emotional gut punch, a heart wrenching performance from a droid, characters being captured by huge nets made of tripe, the pieces all coming together for the Empire snd the rebellion and a cheeky little space battle. Everything about this show improves week on week, setting up a 'well im not sure' for next week as the story will go on for 12 more episodes soon after. Can't wait for its hand to be played, I'm going all in.

After the previous episode which delivrred incredible tension and amazing writing and acting, this felt like a great way to digest what we just experienced as well as setting the stage for the finale!

At this point you can feel how the rebellion is only getting closer qnd closer! The characters are facing some turning points and they have to fully commit themselves to the cause, if this is gonna work!

After Luthens legendary monologue in the previous episode, you kinda see him differently now! Its like you finally understand him and you root for him more than ever! For that reason I am glad he gets one of the best scenes in this episode!

The season might have been slow at first, but all thst set up and introduction is about to pay off!

Tony Gilroy along with Beau Willimon from House of Cards have brought a level of sophistication and nuance to the Star Wars universe beyond all expectation. Their brilliant writing delves into the minute details of what fascism really is and exposes the empire's evil in a way no other film or series in the franchise has done before. It's like watching a real historical drama about rebellion and resistance against Nazi Germany.

The tension in the previous two episodes where Andor was imprisoned in the empire's concentration/labor camp was riveting and nerve wracking, not only because of the writing, but also the exquisite ATTENTION TO DETAIL. The brutal subjugation protocols of the prison down to the minute details of their forced labor on the prison assembly line along with the beautifully crafted sets (on all the different worlds) all serve to make this the best and most intelligent Star Wars franchise ever made.

This is by far my favorite show streaming on any platform right now. The rest of the Star Wars universe pales in comparison.
