[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The “stoicism” critique is a strong one for this show. And some people have misinterpreted it as “women should smile” instead of Dave Feloni and whoever is directing lacking the nuance to direct and convey an engaging stoic character. Lots of forced gravitas that doesn’t land unless you’ve maybe watched all of rebels and even then it’s a stretch.

This is still a decent show and way better than the past few non-Andor efforts just because it’s not a total practice in futility and the acting is way better. But fuck me, this is Feloni’s attempt at a masterpiece and what we are getting instead is something (relatively) solid but sometimes middling without much oomph.
