Episode 5, Season 1
Series lacks balance

Look I love a slow burn. I love characters that are well-written, complex, flawed and reveal them selves slowly.
But this has to be done in harmony with the Universe you are trying to show and the pacing has to be right - a good balance between action/tension and more thoughtful, human moments.
Andor does this very well. BSG, The Expanse, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon too
But this show does not. Its characters are not nearly as interesting as they think they are and they are certainly not as interesting as the monsters that we see so little of. This is a mid, slightly dull human drama.
