  • I finally watched Andor fairly recently and it is probably the most perfectly paced show I’ve seen since the streaming era has started, or at least it’s up there. I still love Arcane a lot and would rank it higher than you for its interesting characters and relationships alone, and the way it gives them all agency while still placing them in the context of their situations, societies, and systems (a compliment I also give to Andor btw), it also helps that I came into Arcane with negative expectations instead of any positive ones. However, I also understand the fast pacing criticism you have. It seems like every show I’ve seen in the streaming era has either too many or too few episodes.

    I’m trying to think of other streaming shows as well-paced as Andor and I’m coming up extremely short. Maybe Daredevil S1? Maybe Severance? But ya, seems like everything nowadays either has too many episodes, like a movie stretched over 6-10 episodes and it drags at some points, or there’s too few and the show isn’t able to spend enough time in it’s most promising moments. I have way more examples in my head of the former though which may be why they leaned towards the faster side of pacing for this particular show.
