That Would Be Me

My condolences to those whose attention span was ruined by marvel and social media. Yes, the first three eps are mostly set uo, but the show has 12 of them and the set up always pays off. There is plenty of action scenes scattered around, but the tone is serious, nothign in interrupted by a "clever" quip. The tone of the show is very mature, fitting with the themes it discusses (surprisingly in depth which i woudl not expect from a dinsey+ show).

This is what i want star wars to be - political intrigue, the struggles of real people, the beurocracy, the backstabbing, the banality of evil. And andor does it perfectly.

Favourite show of the year so far. Even outside my (love.hate) with star wars - this isn't even the best star wars, it's just a good high tension show on its own.

Can't wait for the resolution.

An investigation is launched to find who is responsible for the incident shown in the opening scene of the show.

This is another solid chapter, but I think it could have formed part of a single episode with the first.

The plot is focussed around character introductions and slow burns the search for Cassian. Again the scenes of dialogue are pretty strong and the performances of all cast are great.

It's hard to tell whether the flashback scenes are worthwhile at this point in the story, so I will hold any judgement until I see the full arc.

As in the first episode the production values and art direction are excellent.

For me it's a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.

Wondering why a Star Wars series was named after a Star Trek planet, I checked this out. Production quality is impressive, the acting is very good, and the show gives viewers an "under the hood" look at what happens with the actual individuals who carry out the broad strokes of Star Wars plot elements. However, it's hard to make use of all these assets in the absence of a PLOT!

In fairness, there may be a plot in here somewhere, but the narrative plods along so slowly that when the viewer finally happens upon something of significance (to whatever the story is) they no longer care. I will continue watching for now, just to enjoy the Star Wars universe from a different vantage point, and because the visuals and production quality leave me hoping it will get better.

This episode was an intriguing continuation of the story and a set-up for the third episode. The tone of the show is terrific and unique from any other Star Wars media, and the writing is better than ever before in Star Wars. Sure, the first and second episodes didn't captivate various people in the story similar to something like the Mandalorian, in which the opening was, in my opinion, way slower than this show's, but it made the direction of the show perfectly clear and appealing. It wasn't until the third episode when the actual path of this season became apparent, and all I'm saying is, don't turn away before watching the third one, in case you weren't hooked by the first two episodes.

I honestly didn't expect alot from this series, i thought this was going to be the worst SW series yet, but damn this is getting kinda good. First 2 episodes are just build-up for episode 3, which they are great in doing so. Easily introducing new and likeable, but also some people you feel kind of sad for (Karn, because of his awfull speech). Something that is really fresh aswell is the 'personalizing' (in a sense of not only showing the heroes) of the empire. But honestly the thing i was astonished by most was the entire feeling of this show, even though it doesn't really feel like Star Wars, it's still is AMAZING. This is the first SW series that feels entirely fresh, it completely differs from the rest because of the darker/grittier setting, but also because of the realism in dialogue and acting. I do however can understand the criticism about the pace, it can be kind of slow. I do think even though not alot happend this episode except build-up it still felt amazing And for the last bit, i feel like non SW fans could really enjoy this series aswell, no Jedi, no the Force, it's a series that is just coincidentally going on inside of the SW universe. So, i could really recommend this, but just one thing, don't give up because these 2 are slow, episode 3 is really worth your time if you didn't like this one.
