I saw the first episode and it really didn't catch my attention too much? When does it start to become more interesting?

Episode 3.

Generally the series works in blocks of 3 episodes. You get 2 episodes of buildup and then a payoff episode. Episode 6 is the second big payoff and as you see in this thread it's a pretty magnificent episode. The second half of the series once you're invested is amazing.

I love Star Wars so I found joy in each episode. But I get that not everyone loves the setting as much as I do.

This exactly. I can take or leave Star Wars, but Andor was really quite good.

Watch the first three episodes. You’ll know if you want to watch the rest.

I’d say you need to watch episodes 1-3. They were released together because there’s an arc in those first 3 that helps pay off the slow build up and world building that people like you would find hard to get through. If you don’t enjoy it at that point then you’re not going to like it I guess.

When Stellan Skarsgaard's character shows up, things are about to get serious.

It doesn't. The show is boring and dreary throughout.

It is just that there are people who think that boring and dreary is great. These are the people who think "prestige" television is good.
