Andor Season 1 successfully traced the reluctant hero Cassian Andor's journey over a year, using 12 episodes to deepen character development. Showrunner Tony Gilroy originally envisioned a longer series but restructured the narrative to fit within the new format, using time jumps strategically. Gilroyâs method allowed for concentrated storytelling, but as Season 2 progresses with its time constraints, cracks in the narrative appear, particularly evident in Episode 7, suggesting limits to its initially effective technique.
Gilroy explained, "The next revelation was, 'Oh, my God, it would be so cool and elegant and smart if when we came back, we only came back for two or three days..."
Andor finds clever ways to navigate its time constraints. Even with its elevated story, though, its tactics have their limits.
