Andor is back for season 2 bringing with it HateWatcher's Andor Reviews, beginning with our Episode 1-3 review.
After an impressive first season, Andor has set a pretty high bar for itself.
And while I think these first three episodes clear that bar, one thing is clear: this is the same show as the first season and it's not going to win over any of the doubters.
Andor still doesn't feel much like Star Wars, it can be over-indulgent, and sometimes the payoff is not worth all the time spent building tension.
But it's also very well-written, well-acted, and it builds out its world in painstaking detail.
So you have to take the good with the bad.
Also, these three episodes had a bit of a controversial scene that I explain my opinion on.
