Andor Season 2 Episodes 4-6: 3 Things I Liked and Disliked
Unfortunately, Cassian’s story hasn’t progressed much since then. In the latest episodes, when he visited Ghorman, he didn’t have much to do besides asking a few questions. It seems like he was more dedicated to the Rebellion at the end of Season 1 than he is now. While Tony Gilroy promised that this season would change how we see Rogue One, I’m not sure if I want my perspective altered just yet.
2. Disliked: Bix’s struggles
Bix’s character has been through a lot in Andor Season 2. Her mental health struggles and drug use have been difficult to watch. I was hoping to see her in a happier place in the latest episodes, but unfortunately, it seems like she’s still facing challenges. I hope Gilroy has better plans for her character in the episodes to come.
3. Disliked: Syril and Dedra’s storyline
Syril and Dedra’s arc has been a bit hard to follow for me personally. While both actors give fantastic performances, the dynamic between Syril and his mother and Dedra hasn’t quite clicked for me. Their relationship seems to be heading towards disaster, especially with the Empire’s plans for Ghorman unfolding. However, I haven’t quite enjoyed the lengthy conversations between Syril, his mom, and Dedra.
Despite these disappointments, there were aspects of Andor Season 2 that I did enjoy:
4. Liked: Mon Mothma and Perrin Fertha’s interactions
Mon Mothma and Perrin Fertha’s scenes together were unexpectedly enjoyable. Perrin’s character has been given more depth this season, and it’s interesting to see his dynamic with Mon Mothma evolve. They work well together, and I’m excited to see more of their relationship unfold.
5. Liked: Luthen and Kleya’s dynamic
Luthen and Kleya showed different sides of their personalities in the recent episodes. It was refreshing to see them share a genuine laugh and display a more father-daughter dynamic. This change in their relationship added depth to their characters.
6. Liked: Cassian and Luthen’s confrontation
The confrontation between Cassian and Luthen was well-acted and brought some important truths to light. Luthen’s reality check for Cassian serves as a reminder that Cassian still has a long way to go before becoming the leader he needs to be for the Rebellion. This scene was crucial in showing Cassian’s growth and development throughout the season.
Overall, Andor Season 2 continues to deliver engaging storytelling and character development. While some storylines may fall short, there are still compelling moments that keep viewers invested in the series. I’m looking forward to seeing how the remaining episodes will unfold and what surprises are in store for the characters. Andor Season 2 is currently streaming on Disney+.
