    I’m surprised to have watched quite some of them! And I am glad to see Andor high up (subjectively, I would put it number 1, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea)

    Sales pitch: politics, political activism and action in the Star Wars universe. What happens when you are not a shiny Jedi but just a dude? Absolutely great, perfectly paced, tackling cool problems. Gives meat to the dystopian Empire. I will stop here, you should watch the first episode.

      I would add that being a SW fan is in no way needed to enjoy this show. I don’t care much about SW, my brother even less and we both loved it.

      It can feel a bit slow at times but the ending is absolutely worth it.

        Yeah, I feel that being in the SW universe did Andor a disservice: SW fans didn’t like how un-starwarsy it is, non-SW fans didn’t consider it much.

          I dislike the Star Wars franchise in general but I loved Andor. Not sure it being a part of the franchise did it too much of a disservice though, I discovered it the way I discover most media (through word of mouth).
