Andor Season-Premiere Recap: Do the Wrong Thing
Season two kicks off with a instant-highlight sequence that encompasses a whole lot of what this show does so well.
The episode continues the momentum with an extended stalker-vision first-person shot, as an unseen person creeps inexorably into an unidentified home at night, eventually revealing the Empire ghoul who tortured our gal Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona) last season. Though the seriousness and rigor of Andor ’s writing gets a lot of understandable attention — Tony Gilroy is in fine form throughout here — director Ariel Kleiman does a bang-up job with the staging, particularly in the story that probably gets the least screen time: checking in with Mon Mothma at her estate on Chandrila. • Cassian’s thrillingly clunky TIE fighter escape in the opening is reminiscent of one of the zippiest sequences in The Force Awakens, where rebel pilot Poe and defecting stormtrooper Finn team up to steal a getaway ship.
