Andor is incredibly good as it keeps building until we hit the climax in the last episode. Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) is nothing more than a mercenary or thief. He is recruited by a rebel organizer, Luthen Rael (Stellen Skarsgärd) He and Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) work together in funding the rebellion. Andor and some other reels carry out a successful heist of an imperial payroll, thus getting needed money for the rebellion. Cassian hangs low, but in doing so is unjustly imprisoned. He is set to work on some unknown device. Escape is impossible as the floor is wired with electricity in it which is turned on at any hint of escape. But when we realize that any sentence is a life sentence in this prison (a whole floor was killed when one was due to be released) escape becomes the goal.
Andor's adoptive mother, Maarva (Fiona Shaw) passes away. He must return to the funeral. However the epire want him captured so they can torture him and learn secrets of the rebellion, particularly the identity of Luthen Rael. Luthen Rael also wants to kill Andor so as to prevent being exposed. It seems there is not much hope for him. The highlight of the whole series is when Luthen's mother, through a droid, gives her own eulogy and calls for rebellion. The tension just builds and builds to this point and finally pops. In the chaos, Andor gives his life to Luthen.
The sage of Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly) is weaved into the other stories. However this story did not reach its head yet.
