Andor rises to meet the challenge of telling the story of the early days of the Rebellion through the eyes of a man who hasn’t fully come into his own yet.
Andor swerves by refusing to make Cassian blandly noble. In Luna’s accomplished hands, he’s pricklier and more nuanced than that. ... In taking time to grow its central character, Andor unveils an ensemble with characters who drive a number of intriguing subplots. ... The interiority and self-reflection it demands have created the most challenging and invigorating work in this galaxy in years.

Make it through that opening marathon and you have what’s shaping up to be the best Star Wars show since The Mandalorian.
With sharper edges than this franchise is used to, a previously peripheral character has set up one of the most intriguing starts to a live-action Star Wars entry so far.
These characters offer a fresher take on “Star Wars” lore than Andor’s story, which is a rote rebel mission. If the series finds a way to further blend familiar storytelling with the more-unusual-for-“Star Wars” vibe of palace intrigue, “Andor” might yet prove itself to be a favorite among fans much the way “Rogue One” has become embraced in the eight years since its initial theatrical run.
It is a darker, more grown-up approach, although it is slow. Actually, in the first two episodes it's too slow. Diego Luna, reprising his role as the brooding, narky Cassian Andor, is the charismatic fulcrum to this story.
There is barely any shape to these first four episodes. Three of them don’t even build to any kind of real climax, but just seem to stop at a random point. ... The third [episode] is the one where things finally start happening, as well as the only one that actually has something that feels like a conclusion to one phase of the story. It’s a shame, not only because Luna’s Cassian Andor occupies an interesting place within the larger Star Wars universe, but because Andor gets off to a promising start before things quickly begin to drag.
Andor... We're again exploring the time span between movies. Fortunately unlike with Obi-Wan, Andor seems to be heading somewhere.
In this show we're seeing how the Rebellion began, and I got to say that I'm amazed the Rebellion ever got anything done. Seeing its own members are more in it for their own personal reasons, than for the liberation of the galaxy from the rule of the Empire.
Cassian Andor is an interesting character, but he isn't that interesting. If the show was carried only by him, then we would have another flop on our hands. Fortunately we've Luthen Rael (Stellan Skarsgård) and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), giving the show more than Cassian can offer. Although not exactly playing by the same rules Rael and Mothma are clearly crucial pieces of hopefully will become a far more efficient Rebellion than the one shown thus far.
The inner dynamics of the agents of the Empire are also very interesting to observe. Seeing that they show that the Empire only sustained their grip on the galaxy, because of certain key individuals. Without them, Vader and Sidious wouldn't matter for the Empire would've fallen even to a very inefficient Rebellion. The best Imperial characters thus far are Dedra Meero and Major Partagaz. All the other Imperial characters are mainly to give contrast to those two characters.
Andor has enough room to become better, and if it does I'll increase the score I gave it. But if it does not, then I'll have no problem stop seeing it.
Andor so far is only interesting and worth watching because it has lots of potential. If the show will live to that potential, that's another matter altogether

The characters are somewhat interesting, the story is coherent but slow, the dialogue is alright, and the effects are fine. Nothing stands out as being particularly strong or weak. Overall, it's just okay.
Report
The other actors did a pretty good job, though, story was decent. The area they did a good job on was showing how awful the Galactic Empire is / how oppressive it is toward various people. Overall glad I didn't spend money on it, though; I won't spend a cent on anything from Disney until the sequel trilogy for Star Wars is officially de-canonized, Lucasfilm is mostly re-staffed, and Disney publicly apologizes for their whacko activism and filming Mulan next to a Chinese concentration camp. Awful company run by awful people.
