Season 1, Episode 4
8/10
Three Cheers for Shooting on Location!

Warning: Spoilers
Andor continues to impress. Story-wise, we're slowly building towards an overall plot. This episode has tons of new characters, but it doesn't feel like it suffers for it.

I could watch petty bureaucratic squabbling between ambitious middle managers in the Empire all day.

And seeing Luthen's cover as an antiquities dealer was great. All of these characters feel lived and earned. We even see that Mon Mothma's marriage is on shaky ground.

I'm loving the cinematography in Andor, and this episode is no exception, with ample time spent on location in the Scottish Highlands. Shooting on "the Volume" certainly has its advantages, but Andor is crushing it on world building. Wide shots. Close ups. Whatever. People are actually in places, and the show is better for it.
