Andor (Disney+) The first 3 episodes dropped yesterday. "One Year

liked the episodes, but episode 1, and especially episode 2, got bogged
down with Andor getting caught in the middle of the people on the planet
fighting.

Agreed. I'm much more interested in what Andor is doing with the Rebellion
than the orc-fight going on with the filthy natives or whoever they were.

If this was a 24 episode season and they needed a filler
episode, I wouldn't care.  But that second episode nonsense was a total
waste, even if some of the characters show up again later, which
hopefully they won't.

I only watched the first episode, so I'm not pleased to find out I have to
slog through more of it in the second.

And why are the doing their best to make Adria Arjona as unattractive as
possible? They cast a beautiful woman for their show, then make a Herculean
effort to present her as frumpy as possible.
