Andor (S1) Discussion [Spoilers allowed]

Full disclosure- I thought the series was fantastic. Cast, script & story were well above par for Disney SW series to date and the way that the rebellion was rooted in the struggles and experience of ‘ordinary’ people was the best thing. You can have as many scheming senators, guerilla fighters and lone wolf (ex Jedi? Ex Sith?) revolutionaries but in the end it’s not until the masses move into action do you have any real revolution. That’s awesome (& why I asked slightly tongue in cheek if the real hero in Andor was his mum). Having said that, I almost didn’t watch it because of the slow & rather pointless Kassa backstory. His sister in this is reduced to a plot device to get him into the corporate zone brothel in order to have the fight that kicks everything into motion. That feels like bad writing to me. Couldn’t he just have been in the brothel for his own reasons & leave it at that?
Once all that was out of the way the series rocked.
