Andor on Disney has been brilliant, the first 2 episodes were a bit iffy but it's really taken off. The effects, the acting, the dialogue, the pacing have all been perfectly executed and I can't wait for the season finale next week.
I think it's really shown up Disney's 6-8 episode model and the stupid run times (as low as 25 minutes) from The Mandalorian and some of the Marvel stuff.
A full length series gives so much more room to develop characters, and allows multiple plot lines to build and recede before converging in a finale.
I think it's the first Disney+ series where I've really looked forward to new episodes and watched them as they landed, instead of a few days later or letting them build up so I can binge watch.
