Remember when five seasons on broadcast TV would take a steady, predictable five years to film?

I can’t blame actors (or any other key staff member) who are reluctant to sign a contract for five seasons on a streaming service. That could easily take a decade of your career.

I'd've liked to see Andor as an ongoing anthology of stories set in the star wars universe. It doesn't need to follow a central story line.

5 seasons would be tough to fill, good thing they didn't do that.
