Andor was almost too good for starwars. Most of the fans just want mindless fun. Not HBO's The Wire set in star wars. So it went unwatched and unappreciated by way too many people.
first two episodes were pretty fukkin boring. that's a big litmus test for a lot of shows. people bail. so many shows start with 2 boring episodes, it's weird. ya know how many shows i've been told "stick with it, it gets so good?" come out the gate swinging...
i'll go back eventually, maybe, but the first 2 episodes did nothing for me, not to mention i didn't care about him. he was the least interesting guy in that Rogue One crew by a mile. i also don't love Rogue One, think it was pointless, and already know this character's outcome, so i always thought it was a weird ass idea.
but everyone sucks it off, so they can't be wrong. i'll go back at some point, maybe... possibly.
