The Second Season of "Andor" Stands Tall | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

Andor's second season elevates its narrative with a unique storytelling structure, dropping three episodes weekly over four weeks, akin to a series of interconnected feature films. Each episode penned by different writers allows for a rich thematic tapestry, with distinct but related narratives that explore the evolution of Cassian Andor over four years. The season deftly sidesteps common prequel pitfalls by revealing character development in unexpected ways while delivering grand action sequences that enhance the emotional stakes of the story. This season has been lauded as one of the best in recent television history, showcasing the potential of the Star Wars franchise.
Andor opens its second season with a micro version of what it does so well: a scene of sharp intellect about becoming who you are when you stand up for what you believe in.
Each night has a different writer. And, as most people know, the season takes place over four years. So, the first night debuts three episodes written by creator Tony Gilroy.
It's a show about the development of a rebel leader, but how Gilroy and company get from the first season premiere to the character's introduction is unpredictable.
This 12-episode arc unfolds more like four interconnected feature films, is the best season of television so far this year, and one of the best of the current decade.
