If only this show was that. The acting and the dialogue are beyond wooden. There is nothing interesting about the main character. Even the situation he stumbles into are trite, and poorly executed. 

The biggest problem for The Mandalorian as I see it is that everything has to tie into both the Abramsverse and the Filoniverse, neither of which burden Andor much, because the former didn’t exist in its timeline yet, and the latter only dropped a few Easter eggs and one mercifully short-lived Clone Wars/Rebels…
