Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- You should really see the show, BTW. It's *excellent*, even if you have little to no knowledge of Star Wars.
- Andor is excellent
- Andor and Empire Strikes Back are the greatest Star Wars stories ever told. ... And as for Andor, the focus was intentionally kept on "the everyman" as opposed to big name legacy characters ... and it was praised for this decision.
- Not that these are police procedural or on the level of *The Wire*, but check out *Treme*, *Dept Q*, *Dark*, *Andor*, *The Deuce*, *Twin Peaks*. All shows that gave me a bit of that "I'm watching something special" feel.
- And i just finished andor last week! What a great show.
Cons
- It really did deserve a third season. Some of the stories in S2 deserved a bit more time to breathe, particularly when there was plenty happening in S1.
- Series lots of other people love and recommend but I can't get on board with: Andor
- In terms of content (not even counting quality) Andor was a better deal but in terms of dollars and cents the movies were definitely the better value for the company

The way the show visualizes a slow descent into an authoritarian police state is so gradual, yet so stark. Just incredible, visionary stuff
It transcends the franchise and the genre, which is extremely hard to do, especially one as long-standing and entrenched as Star Wars.
