What Did You Watch?

I treated yesterday like a pure vacation day, and did nothing but play my video game and watch stuff, though I still was too tired to tackle "John Wick 4" (maybe today?...).
I got through:
soaps: DOOL - GH was a rerun yesterday (I'm assuming Y&R was the same), so all I got through was DOOL. Xander continues to be an unhinged asshole so Maggie kicks him out of the mansion (legally, she can't do that, so Xander should stick it to her by fighting it) so he steals Victor's portrait and throws it in a dumpster! Everyone else gives Xander the brush-off. Meanwhile, more hemming and hawing with (Fake!) John Black, and more John (& Marlena) flashbacks. Meh.
Andor (Disney+) - Episodes #2.4-2.6.
    So, I'm not sure I care for this structure - each 3 episodes of season #2 is it's own "set", each taking place a year apart.
    Thus episode #2.4 again starts with "A Year Later" (IOW, a year after episode #2.3), and we are now in BBY 3! (from BBY 4).
    These ones had much less Mon Mothma, and much more Luthen and Kleya, and more direct focus on Cassian and Bix.
    Again, I found ep's #2.4 & #2.5 less than engrossing, but episode #2.6 picks up the pace, and is the best of this lot so far, though I thought the ending, while "dramatic", was kind of dumb/unrealistic.
    Much of these episodes focus on the machinations around the planet Ghorman. At first I thought the Ghormans were supposed to be Germans or Austrians (WWII irony?), but I quickly realized the Ghormans are actually supposed to be French - the language is French sounding, but not actually French - and thus the focus on fashion on their world.
    I'm guessing the following episodes will ratchet this up.
