Andor review: This slow-moving show feels like being trapped in carbonite

In a saloon at the end of the universe, the door opens. Two surly-looking guards glance up from their drinks to observe the new arrival. Roughly 20 minutes later, they’re both dead – shot by blaster fire as the suspect escapes into the night.

So begins Andor, the latest offering in Disney+’s roster of Star Wars TV shows. Hot on the heels of the barnstorming success that was Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor aims to tell an entirely new story. That is, the birth of the legendary Rebellion. The result is a slow-moving series that makes you feel like you’ve been trapped in carbonite.
