You gave up 2/3 of the way through the first story arc. With the 3rd episode it clocks in at about 2 hours, there’s your movie.
You stopped the movie a little over halfway through, what did you expect?
Comment on 'Andor' Season 2 Debuts to Nielsen Viewership High With 721 Million Minutes

I tried watching it, but since after 2 episodes still nothing had happened, I stopped and went to watch a movie.
Which is about the same length as those 2 episodes, but actually had a begin, middle, and end.
It might be good, but I will never know since the slow start is so off putting.

2/3rds of the way is asking a lot to keep my attention. And I want to love it.

Had the same experience but pushed through. It’s worth the slow burn. Many early season scenes are horrid and worse than the first season early scenes. But the ending is just as good. It makes sense when you know that it is 4 seasons into one because production takes way too long.

I’ve watched the first 3, maybe 4, episodes. Still have no idea what it’s about, just couldn’t grab my attention. Which is a shame, I’m sure it’s great Star Wars content.
BTW, never express any opinion about this except full-throated, roaring approval.

Keep going, the beginning of the season was mid but the end is golden. Motherfuckering show had me crying at the end

I’ll eventually take another push at it, but I sure as hell won’t say I didn’t like it online. “Get a rope!”

Its incredibly good.

A chunk of the episodes in the two seasons are practically dead air.
I’m still flip flopping on whether the slow pacing of some of the episodes was intentional (whether to try to build suspense or to hammer home Lenin quote “there are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen”) or some wonkyness with trying to figure out the proper ‘fit’ of story and dialogue in an episode.

Apparently that quote was invented by George Galloway. Lenin didn’t exactly say that.

Skip to the last half of the season. And if you decide you want to know how they go to where they are, go back and finish the first half. Honestly, with original trilogy coming out first, then Rogue One, then the Andor seasons, it’s probably the traditional way to watch! :)

I’ve fallen asleep during every episode. This does not happen with other shows, except for one or two really slow episodes of Severance. I have no idea what the problem is.

Me too. I want to love it. Rogue One is maybe my favorite SW movie (sorry Empire, you’re still maybe #1). And that’s coming from a guy that saw the original in 1977.
