Is it just me or is Andor unwatchable. I tried it on the plane and gave up after 20 minutes. Now I've started again on Disney+ and after 40 minutes I hust couldn't care. Kids in the jungle? Bored man shot a security guard? I've seen Rogue One and I don't even remember Cassian. Plus he's going to die
