Prett solid overall even if it isn't as exciting as the previous episode.
I must admit that seeing a Couresant in live-action for the first time in several years was really cool, and seeing the planet under Imperial doctrine was fascinating and satisfying.
This episode felt like set-up for whatever is to come next, but I didn't mind it. Like others have mentioned, the world-building and extended lore kept me invested in this one, but the brief establishing of new characters wasn't so poorly handled either.
I was kind of hoping this wouldn't just feel like a live-action version of Rebels. I liked that show a lot, but Andor initially sounded like it would essentially be the beginning of the rebellion again, just in live-action. In a way it does, but it also doesn't. The shows are vastly different from each other tonally and visually. I don't know, I'm gonna finish this either way. I like the dark, mature tone. Feels very different from the other star wars shows and closer to the tone of Clone Wars in my opinion.
Solid episode overall, with some great acting from Stellan and Genevieve!
