Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy says the first episode of Andor needed some work before it headed to the small screen.
"Most television directors, I’m not an expert on it, but you’re expected to do coverage," Gilroy explained in an interview with Variety. "Toby Haynes directed the first block [of episodes of Season 1]. I was in New York with my brother [executive producer] John [Gilroy], and we had a cutting room on 86th Street around the corner from my house. The first week, the first dailies came in, and they were terrible. I was like, 'What the fuck is this? We’re starting off the show, and it’s really boring. What is this?'"
