Dept Q: I am on Episode 5 and it is great!
Dope Girls: I am on Episode 3 and the show has sagged a bit but it is good.
A Thousand Blows: I struggle with Stephen Knight Shows, but this one is great. I am on episode 3.
Andor: Episode 8 is tonight. It is the best Star Wars since 1980s Empire Strikes Back.
Hard Knocks with the Buffalo Bills. If you are into Hard Knocks than this is for you.

Probably abandoning:

Smoke: I am 2 episodes into the show and I am really struggling to care about it. I will give it at least one more episode. Nothing is working in the show. I don’t buy Jurnee Smollette as an on the edge cop, Edggerton is not working as whatever he is supposed to be. It is just so contrived.

Honestly I like Andor more than any Star Wars thing I've seen.

KOTOR II (with community patches) is the only thing thats kinda close.

I have never played KOTORII with the community patches. I played the retail and it was really great until it wasn’t.

KOTOR is one of the greatest of all time. I haven’t even thought about comparing Andor to KOTOR. KOTOR wins.

Oh, II is (IMO) so much better.

KOTOR I is more classic Star Wars, like a trilogy movie with new (and more interesting) characters.

But II is an utter deconstruction of Star Wars, with so many characters that absolutely steal scenes. I never played retail... While the patched ending still does feel rushed, it's still so awesome.

If you ever go back, I'd recommend running community modlists and following a small 'no spoilers' guide to maximize the dialogue you trigger.
