Some of it is clunky, but in the adorable way that the star wars universe is. It's a good show, with good story arcs, good acting, good world building, but it can be predictable at times and rest in tropes rather than characters.

It's certainly worth watching and is an adult show, not a Disney show.

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.

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 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.

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 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.
