Adult and gritty show set in the star wars universe. Unlike almost any other star wars show, it makes you feel like the characters and situations are real. The protagonist andor has an interesting backstory and root for him, but he is not too good to be true. Early on they establish he is looking for his sister, who he lost on his home planet, and has reason to hate the empire. I really want to see more starwars shows like this that take an adult approach that have interesting plots and realistic motivations. Heck, I would actually like to any shows or movies, starwars or no, that did that. The trouble with kids shows is that it's too easy to make then one dimensional.

Series has a lot of conspiracy plans throughout, which kept me interested. It doesnt have production values of game of thrones, but wasnt bad either. Of course couldnt be totally historically accurate, this isnt a documentary. Worth watching if you like historical dramas.

one warning, so far the show could be considered horror as much as anything else. this is because the androids are made so human, that their destruction and abuse by guests becomes very distasteful. but that is probably necessary given the atmosphere it wants to create. obviously this premise has been used before in the earlier movie, but this version really dramatizes the "playing god" to an extreme, and the resulting effect on the androids. many dark corporate conspiracies are hinted at, and ed harris (blackhat) is busy abusing androids to gather information leading to ???. I'm really wondering if there will be a payoff to all these intrigues, or like many sci-fi series, will it lead no where. so I just rating a 5 until I see if the payoffs are worth it.
