I love how intimidating Tie fighters seem in this show mostly due to the sound design i think. Makes you feel like you would actually crap yourself with fear if one flew over your head in real life, never felt like that about a Star Wars ship before.

I like how Andor points out how everyone’s jittery and how they are using him as a convenient excuse to back out. Better than letting a child save the day.

“It feels like a grown up television show and I love it” Alex hit the nail on the head

It actually feels like there's real stakes here and tension. Like something big is coming. The scene where they cut back to Luthen in his shop sitting by the radio and worrying about the team, this is such a simple scene on its face but bc of of the skilled hands of the filmmakers at the helm of this show and the great actors it just bleeds tension and so easily articulates to the viewer that something big is happening. there's no stupid jokes or quips or any of that bullshit. This series has been so refreshing and Ive been dying for this kind of filmmaking again.

I love what they're doing with Mon Mothma, the struggle she goes through to make the galaxy a better place. Her family turning against her, the paranoia with the Empire. I'm really curious to see what will happen to her family

No, because it actually gives context that matters and sets up tension for the end of the arc. The slow moments have a clear intent, it’s not like rings of power where characters sit around giving exposition for the sake of exposition or intended rousing speeches that don’t have any impact. I do think it should’ve released each arc at once like the premier though.

Loving the series. Immersive and great fucking acting.

Best writing in a Star Wars production to date, even in the slow moments I’m completely engaged in what is going on because of the excellent writing and acting.

The slow burn, the gritty aesthetic, the (whisper it) character development, its beautiful.

Me and my father love this show, we are big LOTR and star wars fans, not really into rings of power, not really into obi-wan, but this show feels like its for adults, smartly written and well acted. Rougue One is my favorite star wars film and i was so happy they decided to expand on that area of the universe. Can’t wait for more.

Andor may not be getting those huge numbers now, but depending on where it goes, it could end up being one of the best shows with a decorated legacy

This is the kind of show I wanted Obi-Wan Kenobi to be. I love the griddiness. Finally a Star Wars show after the Mandalorian that is actually really good. I don’t think that it’s boring or slow. I love that slow build up when it’s done right and then to get satisfied at the end.

I can't get enough of the corporate and imperial characters. Seeing them compete against each other is what made Rogue One so good and the producers must have picked up on that bcuz they are giving us even more of it in this show than any other live action.

The only bad thing about this show is that it feels too short, 15 minutes longer would have felt more satisfying. But this is so much more than I can say about the Boba or Obi Wan series, some of those I just wanted them to end already.

glad to see I'm not the only one enjoying the show, also feel like a lot of folks are skipping this one and its too bad. So far almost everything about this show has been really fun to watch, especially taking to time to build up to something. just hope they nail the landing!

The writing is first rate. I invested in every plotline and care about each character. I see the perspective of each character and there is no one right now that I hate. Andor is not only good sci-fi it's actually become one of the better all around dramas on television period.

I loved the short scene with the Lieutenant and his mother where she says he can’t turn being a leader on and off. And that by the time he realized he was slouching, everyone else has already noticed it.

Yes it’s boring if you have a attention span of a child

Better to be boring than to be... ...whatever Rings of Power is.

The show's pacing is perfect! Actually showing context and letting the audience infer what is happening is the best kind of story telling! Modern audiences are too impatient and unaware of how to let go abd actually watch and enjoy anytime!

It's pissing me off that so many content creators are choosing to ignore Andor because they can't bash it. I guess they feel like praising a Disney Star Wars show would upset their "base."🙄 Thanks for giving this fantastic show (so far) the attention it deserves.

Best Star Wars series in the entire Disney catalog. Absolutely SW for grown ups

I'm stunned at the quality of Andor, I went in expecting more Disney crap and 3 episodes in I'm completely hooked.

Really, really love this show and it's pacing. Hell, even looking at a depressed guy eating cereal 3 times a day are great trainwreck character building that I can't get enough of.

Not boring at all. Feels like a show for adults. Sure its slow but we get to know this characters. If one dies it means something. I'm invested on them surviving a task that they all could die. I agree its slow and think it might have been better to release three episodes at a time if the third episode is the action episode. Still. This might end up being the best live action Star Wars show and I didn't see that coming at all. Said it before but I like how this show doesn't feel like a Disney product and that has continue. Can't wait for the next episode.

I like how it is and am grateful to watch something that doesn't need to entertain the mind of a person who needs "action".

I don't get people.....if the show rushes thru things people complain that it's not developing characters and if it takes it time people complain that it's too slow and boring.

Love the sound the tie fighters make in this show! Really emphasises the eerie and predatory feeling they give off.

I have enjoyed ever single episode, so much so that i feel like they are not long enough, i wanna see more and more! Every scene matters, and they made a huge cliche dodge by having Andor come out clean on why he's there in the first place, eliminating any future conflicts with the team.

Andor & House of the Dragon: both revived the reputation of formerly-stale fictional universes. There are no “good” or “bad” characters and plenty of realistic, grounded dialogue.

Man they really should have realeased it in 3 batches of 3. Its slow but so far amazing. This is the Star Wars we need. Just a bummer we have to wait so long for the episodes.

I'm really invested in side characters for once. I don't want to see that kid die or even the dude who pulled a knife on Andor

honestly doesnt matter if people hate it or love it, its getting one more season and thats it, not overstaying its welcoming so no matter what we got the rest of this season and 1 more season with this show

It reminds me of earlier GoT seasons. Where it actually took the characters time to get from point A to point B. They said in the previous episode that The Eye was happening in three days and the Imperial base is hours of walking from their camp, and we get to see those days passing for them and pieces of the journey during the day before. Meanwhile in other side of the galaxy we have Luthen anxious, waiting for news, even though he knows the heist is yet to happen. Just amazing, leaves wanting for more. Unlike Obi-Wan, which left me just wanting for it to end lol

"It's not Dave Filoni trying to make sense of garbage that George Lucas created in the 90's" Is this man high off his own farts or what?

The pacing is slow, yes, but the dialogue has a lot of nuance that reveals quite a bit of who the characters are instead of having wardrobe or skillset to telegraph it for audiences. It's a very different take from the usual fare some audiences have come to expect but it's still very good.

The whole episode just oozes tension. Its not a world ending stakes, but you can feel how heavy this mission is to the characters

When this series is finished I plan to binge watch it to see how effective the pacing really is. In it's present format it's a tough thing to measure. As intelligent & compelling as the writing may be, the week long wait isn't helping.That much is clear.

People who say this show is boring or slow are the same people who cook chicken in NyQuil.

The slow buildup to the mission is great. That Low flying Tie Fighter scene was fantastic.

Totally agree, another fantastic episode where the characters and world were fleshed out. Makes it all just feel so real and like there is some actual impact and importance behind what is happening on the screen.

I totally respect you guys so much for the attention and analysis you guys are giving Andor. You keep saying all the things I would want people to hear. Awesome job!

The actor who plays Cassian got me hooked man he embodies the character so good

yes! my thoughts exactly! a show written by adults, for adults I didn't feel a single episode to be boring. In my opinion the pace is spot on.

Andor's maturity, seriousness & thoughtful, meticulous dialog is what Star Wars needed to arrive at. Those who are bored by it are those who favor CoD's run-&-gun portrayal of warfare over a more realistic experience like Hell Let Loose. They're the same who complained about Red Dead 2 Campaign not having round-trip Fast Travel to satisfy their short attention span's need to be continuously stimulated. Andor kicks @$$.

KZfaqrs after episode 6: “Andor: Is it TOO EXCITING??”

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buff

The problem with hollywood and prequals is that hollywood incorrectly corlilates "prequal" with "character back-story", which is not what you want to do as that spoils the ending. Prequals are supposed to get you interested in the characters you HAVEN'T seen before as to worry about their future as you don't know where their story is going. It adds intrigue with how these otherwise unheard of people help flesh-out the world while also leaving you curious as where their journey goes. It doesn't work with the original rogue-one because contribution the prequal adds is taken away as it kills off every character the movie introduces, meaning it adds nothing to the universe that we didn't already know. It worked with Anakin Skywalker cause we didn't know Anakin too well, we knew Darth Vader. We didn't know Obi-Wan either, we only got a hint of Ben Kenobi. We didn't know the clones, we only knew the storm troopers. Same with the battle droids. It gaves us all new characters that were interesting whose fates we both had an idea of but also were unsure of as they were kinda shrouded in mystery. You could argue Mandalorian is a sequel trilogy prequel but it actually works because they are original characters whose fates remain undetermined and who actually add to the world by branching off into a new corner of the world rather than linking preexisting parts of it and just filling gaps. With this, you already understand all the (main) characters so there's no point in the series. That's why you don't want prequels to be a backstory. You want them to be almost like spin-offs that still actually add something to the universe. That's where the stakes come from. Not from the parts that are already established but from the parts that aren't. Character back-stories alone don't give us the major "part's that aren't". I guess what I am saying is, regardless of execution quality, conceptually, I just want things that expand like a new branch on a tree rather than something that exists to bridge gaps.

It seems the show is focused on spending 2 episodes of build up and the 3rd to pay off and I'm fine with that. It's so well done and beautifully shot that I can't help but get excited. I will say that I find it rather strange that, in a Star Wars show, there weren't many aliens in it. But so far it has made the Empire seem so dangerous and insidious that the tension is so good.

Dude, this show is some top notch writing and acting. Its almost too good for star wars. It could be its own thing. Maybe they can do more star wars shows like this for adults?

Fun fact: the TIE fighters, like many of the Imperial Empire tech, is mostly inspired by WW2 Germany Junkers Ju 87 with the loud whizzing engine.

It was a shame not to see the Heist but it was still a great episode. It was essentially making you understand all the side characters who would be in the heist their motives and backstory etc.

You know a series is good when there isn't action but the episode is still interesting and keeps your attention. Set up is necessary for that big pay off.

Other Star Wars content have had very fast story progression. This episode in particular had a lot of CHARACTER progression instead, which I don't think Star Wars ever really does (and it's awesome). It is certainly the "slowest" episode of Andor so far, but I enjoyed it. I crave more of it every time an episode ends.

I like how slow the show is. It’s like I am getting to see several different perspectives from within the universe. Alex is right. The world feels lived in and real.

Loved this episode. Stakes r high and dialog feels natural. Character building and introductions r done very nicely. So far this is my fav SW show on Disney+. I don't need constant action and drama and shock factor. Just need sensible plot, good characters and good dialog and I'm Gucci...can't wait for the heist in the next episode

Well I would rather watch Andor at .1 playback speed then have to watch another episode of ROP. I wish the episodes were a little bit longer

Garbage George Lucas made in the 90s? What TF is Alex talking about with that

Each episode gets better. This is tense drama, it reminds me of some of the older wartime drama series' set in WW2 like Secret Army or Colditz. I'm loving the subtleties in this.

This show should have been a major star wars film it’s soo good!

The show actually made me go back and watch Rogue One. That's how much it made me care about the character of Andor. Diego Luna is getting recognition that's long overdue in my opinion.

Boring? If that's what taking your IP seriously and treating your audience like adults is, I'll take "boring" over 20 episodes of twerking She-Hulk any day.

This is the first Disney produced live action Star Wars material worth really watching. I almost can't believe we're getting this level of writing in this universe, I'm so happy they spared no expenses on the show. I think the word of mouth is gonna go around, I've been telling people who have given up on the series how good it is. I think it's a smashing hit, after the movies and the lackluster tv shows we've been getting. This episode was 10/10 for me, bring me the drama, bring me the world building and each characters place in this universe. I haven't felt this invested since watching a New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.

The pacing is fine. Remember the first few seasons of GOT. I'm heavily invested in these characters now.

I think every 2 weeks, they should release 3 episodes at a time. I think every week would be too fast, and every 3 weeks would be too slow.

Someone should tell these guys about a show called The Last Kingdom on Netflix. I'd love for them to review that masterpiece of a show. Alex would love it!

Andor is a great show so far, hopefully Disney will learn a thing or two from it for his future shows

Imagine hating character development and grown up Dialogue...

This is why I taught myself years ago to be patient and if something releases that I think I will like, I will wait till it's all out and if I want to go straight to the next ep I can!

Alex called it last week. He said this was only going to be a setup episode. This needs to be a damn movie

It's adult, mature Star Wars, and I want more like it, simple as that.

Here after episode 6 to answer that question. No. It is definitely not boring.

I actually like Andor a lot so far.

This is one of the best adult Star Wars shows/movies in my opinion. I think it specifically been written as a slower burning, higher stakes, tension filled drama. Rather than a shoot-em-up where 6 year old kid is coming to save the day. Honestly I feel like the original star wars trilogy were much more slow burn similar to Andor.

So far i care about none of the characters, which kills any motivation to watch the show (The only character im remotely interested is the security guy who didn't even appear this ep)

Andor is PERFECT! ❤

This is what I have BEGGED for since disney got Star Wars IP. I have always dreamed about feeling like Star Wars is REAL and this show is delivering

And they're too cheap and lazy to make a prop they made an actual old camera into that "untraceable tracking device" wow

A lot of what's good about the original star wars was the missions and pilots based on ww2 movies/missions. This series feels like deeply satisfying stuff like Eagle has landed or heroes of telemark.

I like the way is going… it’s well written, develops the characters and has some drama. I don’t fell that is boring at all. Love it

NO. It's not boring

Him calling starwars garbage made me feel like he’s not even a starwars fan 💀💀 dude all of starwars came from George Lucas’s “garbage”

I agree they should just release a 3 episode arc once every month instead of weekly. It’s like your watching a movie in 30 min chunks and have to wait a week for the next part of it. It’s an annoying release schedule lol. Love the show tho

I'm really enjoying this show so far. Great writing, especially in developing Cassian.

A fantastic show that deserves more praise and more eyes on it. I'm worried it won't get the amount of success it deserves.

Okay... I see how this dynamic is playing out and I don't like it. Not everything has to be divisive. Just because I think the show is slow to getting to the point it doesn't mean that I need explosions in every single scene. We are now five episodes into this show which is five hours of build up. In five hours you can watch almost the entire LOTR extended cuts. The show is not a bad show, not by a long shot and I don't want anyone trying to "um actually" me. I just want to make people aware that just because we think it's boring does not mean we need constant movement and explosions. As of right now, the show is good, but it's a little boring.

I like the weekly episode format. Keeps you wanting more, which means the show keeps you intrigued! We're too spoiled with getting everything at once so it's nice to have this weekly excitement

Andor is the best Star Wars content to come out of the Disney era. Better than anything offered by JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, and even Jon Favreau/Dave Filoni.

Its slow but its actually very interesting. I’m not bored at all! That being said, next episode will be exciting!

I'm gripped but I can also understand those who prefer the flash-bang of the original to human interaction would be wondering where the Adventure Serial went

This is what I really want starwars to be. More serious darker tones not campy child like shit. The TIE fighters never felt more intimidating they used to feel like flies to swat down. The writing. The world. The characters all feel real. I did watch all episodes in one sitting and it definitely played best that way.

I think the show is really awesome but Joe and Alex said it best… These weekly releases are killing the enthusiasm and probably the viewer count. They absolutely need to release this three episodes at a time if you’re gonna have episodes completely devoted to build up…

This is my favorite Star Wars that’s come out for years

To anyone not enjoying Andor you may like to know that “colour by number” books are still available to buy in shops ;)

Andor is the new height of Star Wars, and all other projects should thrive to be at least nearly as good as Andor.

Hella boring. House of the Dragon does political intrigue a thousand times better and it doesn’t put me to sleep unlike Boredor

This show is amazing. Not boring at all.

what the HELL is grown up television show ? the disney shilling is over the top here ..

I miss the days when Alex didn't have the last word on all of these reviews. It's great that he has his own opinions. But I miss hearing what the original hosts (AngryJoe and Other Joe) had to say about these movies, shows, games, etc. Without ultimately agreeing with almost everything that comes out of Alex's mouth. The dude seems to have some strong opinions for someone who seems to have no real-world writing credentials.

Yep, this show is legit so far. It’s pretty cool to read a comment section where people can enjoy something for a change. I like beating up bad tv too but this is refreshing
