I've watched the first few episodes of Andor a couple of times and never felt compelled to continue. I've watched 2 seasons of White Lotus, I can't say if I like it or not, but I enjoy watching.
Do you mean the first couple of episodes of the first or second season? Been a while since I watched the first season. In any case Andor is comparatively a bit of a slower burn, but comes together very well imo.
As far as White Lotus goes I have no doubt that it is pretty good. I've heard lots of praise and the likes of Carrie Coon obviously are great actresses. It's just 4 out of 7? When Andor isn't short on amazing female performance either, like for example Denise Gough as Dedra Meero, Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma, or Elizabeth Dulau as Kleya Marki. (I assume they would count as supporting characters)
The first 3-4 episodes. TV habit is to sit down with the wife after dinner and binge a few episodes of a show. We've done that 3 times with Andor now and nothing about the show draws us back the next night. White Lotus had me wanting to know more about what those people were up to.
Yeah that sometimes happens. Not every show clicks with everyone.
To be fair in a way Andor isn't this kind of show anyways, since from before it even started we know how it'll end in Rouge One.
I was shocked by how often Andor had me on the edge of a heart-attack when I absolutely already knew what was going to happen to the main character in the end - it's a masterwork of tension porn 😬
