Reply to comment by ProfGilligan in Andor - Episode 12 Finale - Discussion Thread! by PhoOhThree

I agree, the whole season was unexpectedly excellent. It has been sometime since we've seen an outstanding sci-fi series. We were expecting a back-slide for the last episode featuring a cheesy cliff hanger that even better series seem to succumb to. It wasn't that thankfully and a refreshing change.

Because the writer treated the audience and actors with respect and the story line is excellent, we cannot wait for the second season. Our interest is high, we want to know what comes next. The producers can be assured their viewership will be sustained and I'd be surprised if it doesn't grow considerably.

It has been 11 months since the last outstanding sci-fi series.

It has been 4 months since the last sci-fi series that matches this.

Perhaps I should have qualified my statement that this opinion was from our household. Perhaps we have seen the series you are referring to or not.

If you're looking for an outstanding sci-fi series, try The Expanse. It may be the show they are referring too.

While I wouldn't put it anywhere near as good as Andor, Peripheral has been interesting as well.

I loved the Expanse and working on The Peripheral which we like so far. We are planning a rewatch of the Expanse soon. What set Andor apart for me was the writing and depths of characters exceptionally well delivered and believable by the actors along with a compelling plot not filled with unimportant parts to fill time or descending into personal relationship soap opera veering off the central plot.

I don't normally gush over movies or series but this time I am. The Expanse and Andor are both excellent but of different styles. I got a bit upset towards the end of The Expanse as there were plot holes toward the end that didn't get filled but overall it was very good and a departure from previous sci-fi series to date.

I love science fiction movies and series. I remember a time when series were sparse. One movie or series I was love to see made is Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama. I've read the 4 book series and its fantastic. Sometime ago Morgan Freeman tried to get it made into a movie but it stalled, damnit.

4 months ago could be referring to For All Mankind, but that show jumped the shark a couple seasons back.
