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

Shirley Li

Sep 30, 2022

A show that’s more concerned with portraying life under an oppressive system than with inspiring awe, Andor is an unusually mature entry in the Star Wars franchise. It’s a confident and sophisticated drama that asks for—and rewards—a grown-up kind of patience. Read full review

Brett White

While it’s a bit of a slow burn of a show, Andor draws you in because it is so thoroughly and messily human. ... Andor is Star Wars, distilled down to its revolutionary soul. Read full review

Empire John Nugent

With sharper edges than this franchise is used to, a previously peripheral character has set up one of the most intriguing starts to a live-action Star Wars entry so far. Read full review

Lingering prequel issues will bother some more than others — knowing the fate of not only Cassian, our lead, but the Rebellion itself can lend a futility to sluggish scenes — but a quarter of the way into Season 1, “Andor” has established itself as the most deeply felt “Star Wars” series yet. And that’s worth holding onto. Read full review

Andor has me debating distinctions between “different” and “good” (it’s definitely the former, occasionally the latter); between “interesting” and “entertaining” (it’s usually the former, increasingly more of the latter as it goes along). ... Andor doesn’t instantly deliver the thrills I expect from a Star Wars show, but it’s different and that may turn out to be the best thing about it. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

Sep 20, 2022

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.

In stepping away from the safe, family friendly writing the has blighted some recent Star Wars productions, and going with a more mature and grittier angle, Andor is without a doubt the strongest and most compelling TV show to enter the franchise thus far.

A fresh approach, with relatable and cohesive story, believable characters, and well placed references (mostly subtle) to the Rogue One and Star Wars movies. If you expect a lot of action, you will be disappointed, though. I think there was only a single action sequence in the first four episodes ;-).
If you in a mood for a less superficial look at the birth of the rebellion, you should give it a go. You may like it even if you are not a Star Wars fan.… Expand

It's a very good show, loved the cyberpunk atmosphere. Disney finally made a more adult star wars series.

Something half decent from Disney. After they butchered and massacred the entire franchise (except The Mandalorian). Finally a good star wars show, with believable cast, acting and story. Its not prefect by any means, the show's lack of proper pacing is big problem. There are episodes in which nothing happens and are filler, but despite that it manages to achieve good world building. For the first time we see inner workings of the empire and find out that they are not entirely incompetent idiots as always portrayed. The visuals are great and well done, doesn't seem fake. There is tension in the show and we get to see how rebellions are born (not just pew pew lasers). I'll recommend this show with the hopes that Disney doesn't flush this down the toilet too.… Expand

It's like they said, the best Star Wars live action series so far.
I only watched the first episode but I felt a wonderful energy, the photography is just beautiful.
I think until the 3rd episode my opinion will remain the same!
cassian andor you saved lives. (literally)

It is a good series and looks like everyone in it are doing they best, but even as a person that have almost seen all that Star Wars have to offer in Movies and TV this series i just not for me. Just feels like it way to slow for my taste.
