The series pleased the venerable actors. And if I still expected to see Forest Whitaker in this series, then Andy Serkis is not at all, a very pleasant surprise.

It seems that Luten will eventually play a key role in creating an Alliance of rebels from disparate groups, each of which pursues its own goals. But so far they are clearly not eager to cooperate, and So Guerrera is a vivid example here. But I was glad to see him anyway.

Yes, I'm not quibbling - it's like an assumption within this universe. Somehow they also manage to process and systematize huge amounts of information on the movements of ships, cargo, etc. There's a case on Andor again. With a three-dimensional image of it. Xs how it works, and that's fine.

I'm old enough (but thanks for the compliment), I don't see any drama here, I'm sorry.

And I usually like the plot and the interaction of the characters, not the shooting games. Here again, this is not the case - everything is very superficial and the characters do not catch on, at least the actors' presentation.

If someone doesn't like it, it doesn't mean they're a dumb teenager, it's just that everyone has a different understanding of what a high-quality TV series or movie is - it's not okay to get personal.

If you like it, then for God's sake, but I don't, and I've expressed my opinion. As many people as there are opinions.

I'm watching because everything in this universe is interconnected and I don't want to miss something important.

I want a dialogue so that there is an understanding of why I don't like it or vice versa why I like it, then it turns out to be a great discussion)

And I've been trying for several episodes to comment on the aesthetics of the interior and exterior in the series. In my opinion, it was done at the highest level: it does not hurt the eye, it seems absolutely fitting, non-artificial and without frills. Architecture, furnishings, equipment – everything is cool! While watching, it feels like a parallel, but realistic universe.

Oh, yes, I realized that the company I work for uses the same slave labor under the guise of "we've arranged everything for you here", Unless they come and fry like that, although there are their own methods of suppression there..

@Eka-Terina: I agree with you, about the interiors, everything was done very competently from the point of view of decorations, a kind of soulless "cold" conveyor.
And the process of collecting reminded me of the "Separation" from relatively new TV series, where people at work are also doing something, but they don't know what.

I love Prison movies)))) Jail, three days to escape, without a face, an escape plan, an undeniable 3 or 2))) there's something wrong with van0dam too. It's always very interesting to watch all their escape plans and prison devices. Specifically, in this series, we were very pleased with the locations, scenery and costumes and makeup of the aliens, the acting in general in almost all episodes is at a high level, except for some cringe moments with homeless rebels before the robbery)))) In this episode, the cameraman noticed an attack of fatigue and epilepsy only once, at the moment of the woman's escape from the stormtroopers, otherwise wonderful panoramas, transitions through the light of the installation and through the curtains - in short, this series came to me. In fact, the series can be watched like this: 1,2,3 episodes, then the 6th, then 5 minutes of the 7th episode at the very end, the 8th episode is shorter)))

well, I'll repeat my speech again, which I started already on the 1st episode. Of all the things that Disney has done, and the TV series and movies, Andor is in second place after Rogue 1, well, for me, this is the best from Disney so far. The Mandalorian season 1 is some kind of fierce shit, Boba Fett was filmed as if for change, Obi Wan in places LGBT+ grunge drove up from episode 7,8,9 and + a disgusting miskast on Leia (a girl like a 5-year-old girl) well, and they pulled everything out like, but the sword fights were almost top-notch, but the plot is shit again, the Mandalorian season 1 is basically: we take Obi-Wan, give him yoda (Leia), take him to different planets and let him complete quests + a line of confrontation with Darth Vader = the season of the series is ready.

In short, Andor is still the top of the list at 7.5 and 8 out of 10

Primary exams: I have exactly 261 days left here.
Prisoners: Don't look at the deadline, they'll keep you as long as they want.

Andor abruptly turned into a complete moron.
- This is where we turn the screws, this is your place. We're late, push it!
Andor: * The face of Pikachu. He stands and blunts the whole working day, with his mouth open
- The hot floor is about to be turned on, everyone is jumping into the cells
Andor: sh-sh-sh-t-o-o-o-o-u-u-u-u?

No, guys, it's not emotion or shock. The shock passes, the team may well bring the newcomer up to date in a day, and so on. It's just that the actor was allowed to stand with his mitt open.

The hot floor should heat the room and boil and drain it by morning. Americans don't understand temperatures, apparently, and haven't heard about underfloor heating instead of central heating (and they don't know about central heating, either)
