Season 1 Review: Andor rises to meet the challenge of telling the story of the early days of the Rebellion through the eyes of a man who hasn’t fully come into his own yet. Read full review

Season 2 Review: This 12-episode arc, which really unfolds more like four interconnected feature films, is the best season of television so far this year, and one of the best of the current decade. It is what “Star Wars” (and all sci-fi TV) can be at its peak. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Tony Gilroy and his team deliver an ambitious, spectacular, poignant, emotionally crushing and very timely season that not only cements this show as the best “Star Wars” story, but also one of the best TV shows of the decade. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In its first few episodes, Andor has established an exceptionally immersive world and put the pieces in place for a tense, thrilling story underpinned by big ideas. By returning to some of the series’s core principles rather than merely recycling old parts, Andor might be the most exciting new beginning the Star Wars universe has enjoyed since those giant yellow letters first crawled up the big screen to invite us into the galaxy far, far away.

Season 2 Review: So while the opening of the new season, in which Cassian flies off in a stolen TIE fighter, is as kinetic and thrilling as any classic “Star Wars” dogfight, it is also oddly conventional. But the season soon finds its grounding, centering on a resistance movement on Ghorman. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The show’s not in much of a hurry (the first three episodes dropping together really are of a piece), and that might lose it some shorter attention spans. Those who stick around, though, will be rewarded for their patience. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There is barely any shape to these first four episodes. Three of them don’t even build to any kind of real climax, but just seem to stop at a random point. ... The third [episode] is the one where things finally start happening, as well as the only one that actually has something that feels like a conclusion to one phase of the story. It’s a shame, not only because Luna’s Cassian Andor occupies an interesting place within the larger Star Wars universe, but because Andor gets off to a promising start before things quickly begin to drag.

The cast is perfect, you can actually appreciate the level of detail and production value, the cinematography and locations are incredible (for a Disney streaming show) and the story is pretty interesting so far, I know that Rogue One spoils the fate of Andor, but this story is promising and deepens the Star Wars universe nevertheless, I prefer new stories with new characters instead of watching my favourite characters being destroyed by social and political views. Let's see where this promising series goes, fingers crossed that Disney does not play a weird move as it always does....… Expand

The best Star Wars show. Everything from the characters, to the score, to the writing, to the production value... Everything about this show is amazing. It simultaneously presents the Empire at its most horrific, and also at its most human. It shows the Rebellion not just as the righteous group of heroes, but as a ragged group of people trying to do the right thing, who have to make incredibly difficult choices for the greater good. And that final episode... Oh, my gosh, that final episode... I'm tearing up just thinking about this show. If you haven't watched this show, or stopped after the first few episodes... I implore you. Watch it. Try it again. This show is a masterpiece.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Andor is the best thing that happened to Star Wars since Rogue One. Maybe the best thing, period.
The writing is absolutely phenomenal and is careful to respect the mythology of SW without falling into the common traps, such as good vs evil. It manages to be very realistic while not sacrificing the fantasy. No "Make Numenor Great Again" scene in this. Just a very universal message that gets across, no matter your cultural background. The Empire is both terrifying and pathetic, while the rebellion does not rise from pure heroism but from the failings of fascism.
Andor is as interesting as ever and meets a gallery of fascinating characters, all written with care. The dialogs are also great, with some pure moments of greatness. The final episode had me in tears at one point, so powerful was one particular speech. Oh and I can't not mention The Eye. Probably the most amazing thing I've seen in a SW product. For once the buildup did not lie. It was one of the most amazing events in the galaxy.… Expand

truly amazing series. If you like SW, it's a must. really good job. Acting, directing, the script, the details .It's not an action-driven series, but it doesn't need to be, like most SW movies and series. I really love it.

Very good.
It is a different take on Star Wars universe, with tones and thematic similar to a ww2 resistance movie or a cold-war spy novel.

Adult situations, blurred morals, good fx, good action scenes, meaningful dramas. Touching dialogues that represents the flaws in both rebel and empire beliefs, describing the sadness of a conflict; creating a thoughtful way to engage with star wars world.

діалоги - ні про що, це просто філлери. сюжет - ні про що. повний метр "Хан Соло" - просто шедевр у порівнянні з цим шматом лайна.
крім напису Star Wars на початку, та імені Кассіана Андора в цьому шоу ви не знайдете АБСОЛЮТНО НІЧОГО, що ріднить це з великою франшизою Лукаса. тут навіть soundsamples інші.
якщо ви справжній прихильник "ЗВ" - не дивіться, не піддавайте себе тортурам!… Expand
