Thank god!
I started it and quickly realized I needed to rewatch season 1. I was afraid that since I haven’t watched it yet that many others would have done the same.
Multiply that by 60 to get second. Will look even bjgger
I guess I'm the only one disappointed by season 2? I feel like they could have cut half of it and told the same story. Nothing even came close to the powerful messaging of the season 1 prison arc.
It wasn't the worst or anything, but it was a pretty weak follow up to that great first season.spoiler
K2SO felt shoehorned in, ~~the love plot felt super gross considering Cassian's last act in Rogue One is to make out with some other chick,~~ the whole bit with Saw was inconsequential nonsense (so was the ep where Cassian was captured by those gangs in the forest), they pulled a "bury your gays" trope... plus a lot of the pacing just felt wack.
The only scenes i felt were shoehorned in or removed me from the plot were the ones with the force healer. They weren't needed at all. Worse, they possibly remove some value from Cass' character by implying he's on a divine "messenger" quest instead of acting on his own agency.
Rest of the series was perfect.

On the pacing: I dont mind "slow" episodes if it takes time to set mood and ambiance in such a superb way Andor does. Could also have something to do with Genevieve O'Reilly playing Mon Mothma ...

Both the forest and the late added character were there to give opportunities to shake things up/lighten the mood. This was a grim, grim season and you've gotta have some of that in an 11-hour runtime.
I agree on Saw's part; felt like something they had to get through to complete the series' connection to Rogue One. I did love the season other than that, though. "Who Are You" is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen.

Some of it is clunky, but in the adorable way that the star wars universe is. It's a good show, with good story arcs, good acting, good world building, but it can be predictable at times and rest in tropes rather than characters.
It's certainly worth watching and is an adult show, not a Disney show.

I tried watching it, but since after 2 episodes still nothing had happened, I stopped and went to watch a movie.
Which is about the same length as those 2 episodes, but actually had a begin, middle, and end.
It might be good, but I will never know since the slow start is so off putting.
I've watched the first 3, maybe 4, episodes. Still have no idea what it's about, just couldn't grab my attention. Which is a shame, I'm sure it's great Star Wars content.
BTW, never express any opinion about this except full-throated, roaring approval.
