I can't be the only person who absolutely fucking hated Andor.
Hahaha, I can see it not being everyone's cup o tea :-)
But my god did I like the writing and the levels upon levels of meaning crammed in there....
I found the "levels of meaning" to be purely artificial and came off as more annoying than, well, meaningful.
Like did the heist arc really need that much build-up if everyone involved was just going to die? What did we even learn about the people working the heist besides "That one guy wrote a book!", maybe it'd be one thing if the people were even likable to begin with.. Then I could feel sorry that it takes the lives of such wonderful people who deserve better to fight back against the Empire, but they didn't even come off as likable. All they did was whine about Andor's inclusion in the heist.
When they died I felt absolutely nothing.
And what was even the point of the Kyber Crystal? I thought for sure it'd be used in the Heist or something, that he'd have to sacrifice his method of payment for the mission... But no, nothing was done with it.
Oh and speaking of meandering, why did the episode where the heist actually happen start with a 15 minute marching scene? Might as well have been dead air.
I can handle a slow burn, but what I can't handle is having my time wasted. And Andor excels at doing nothing with its runtime.
