Andor was great because disney didnt oversee the production. The Gilroy bros were allowed to just make. They filmed in real locations. Had actual characters with personalities. The bad guys seemed like a threat and not just bland targets.

When disney oversees production the entire set is CGI ("the volume"). All the characters are very bland and vanilla to appeal to the most amount of people. Antagonist are narrow and usually a joke in terms of a threat.

I haven't really looked into this series and how much disney is forcing the hand of the director.

Except don’t get cut off from a full five season run because of a global pandemic.
