Alot of people are using the word "slow" to describe Andor, funny, I didn´t find it slow at all, because it was so well told/ written. All the scenes made sense, and helped build up this pocket of the Star Wars universe perfectly. And there was this constant tension in most scenes, not slow at all, but riveting all the way.
It “feels” slow because it’s as real as you can feel in a space opera science fiction setting. It breathes and it sure smells grimier and dirtier. It’s not about princes and princesses and lords and ambassadors. It’s about people feeling desperate and angry. The pacing and the way the series asks the viewers to take in the environment, atmosphere and the inhabitants of this series is just perfect.
I feel like this is an example of the other Disney shows (Marvel and Star Wars) and a few others just entirely distorting what people expect by pacing. Because this isn't REMOTELY slow. It just isn't rushing. It's taking it's time and letting things happen.
I'm really looking forward to the Chief Inspector getting back from his meeting and finding out that the Deputy not only disobeyed a direct order but got another squad of corpos wiped out.
@@marcusmcgill4423 I wouldn't be surprised if the news of multiple corpo deaths and a 'rebel cell' in their territory gets to the Imperials while the Chief is in the middle of telling them that everything is fine. ISD undoubtably would execute him and then promote the officer who at least tried to do something about it.
The best thing going for this show is that it's not trying to be Star Wars. The characters are rounded, the drama feels real, the world feels lived in and the trauma heavy. Best material since Rogue One
@@andrejul-christensen8301 For rme, "too slow" often equals "too impatient". The best told stories often take their time to get things right. Everything works so well in episode 3 BECAUSE of what was set up in episodes 1 & 2. There's no pacing issues for me.
What I love about this show is that it doesn’t automatically assume that the audience is stupid, like so many other shows do. Nothing is being spoon fed, you actually have to pay attention to what is going on and listen to what the characters are saying. So far this show has demanded that the audience be patient and a lot of modern audiences can’t or won’t do that.
This is the flavor of Star Wars we needed. It kinda tells one of the messages from Last Jedi better than the movie: revolution doesn’t need a magic kid; a normal person can play a pivotal role, but it won’t be an easy or pleasant journey. This is slice of life, textured, deliberate….a mature way of telling a Star Wars story. Love it We shouldn’t forget that before Luke destroyed Death Star I and turned Vader, the resistance that became the Rebellion and fought the Empire were regular folks, not force users. They had to kill, steal, and cheat their way to do it, but the did what they had to do to survive and rise up I suspect the people complaining about the show are a little too accustomed to Michael Bay-seque “storytelling”. Even Kenobi and BOBF suffered from clunky pacing and hamfisted “moments”. Andor seems to be building tension and fleshing out characters in a more deliberate pace, like Breaking Bad, or The Wire, where payoffs feel more earned
“Star Wars fans” includes everyone though, that’s the issue. The fandom also includes every a**hole and whiner in the world too, but that doesn’t mean they’re the majority.
The first two episodes did such a spectacular job of setting up the environment of this show that by this episode I was already so emotional. It's perfection, I can't wait for more
“Militarized versions of hot dogs on a stick” is probably the single greatest and accurate descriptors of these guys I’ve ever heard I’m sticking with it
Fun little easter egg here with Cas's gun - it looks very much like a early model of one carried by a Mr Kyle Katarn. This show is phenomenal. It's a crime drama that just happens to be taking place in Star Wars, and I didn't realize I wanted that until I finished these first 3 episodes. I am in for the long haul. Give me more, give me regular shows that just happen to be taking place in Star Wars.
That has to be intentional. Andor will inevitably head the crew that'll steal the Death Star plans just like Katarn did, AND they both use the same pistol? They're basically saying he's canon Katarn
I'm from Chile, and idk why... But Even when sometimes i don't understand everything what u say, i love every reaction video u do! I love uuuuuu♥️♥️♥️ u are really fun 😊
I was waiting for this video all day! Honestly this 3rd episode blew it out of the park Brasso just silently becoming a rebel to help a friend in need and no one will ever even know.
Adam's "yep, yep, yep" LOL. That was spot on. When I saw the landing craft opening I was like, "Brrrring. Brrrrring. Brrrrrrring, yep, yep, yep" The Sesame Street Aliens. Nobody? No one else got that reference? ok.
I keep saying it but I feel like this show, more than any other show so far set in the dark times between PT and OT, this series is showing us how the universe went from bright and shiny, to the downtrodden used universe.
_Andor_ & _Rogue One_ = the rise of the Rebel Alliance from the POV of everyday non-Force sensitive citizens working to undermine the Empire and reclaim their freedom through real strategy and grit _Rebels_ = the rise of the Rebel Alliance from the POV of a Jedi apprentice working to undermine the Empire by looking for a way to destroy the Sith and save his family The OT = both narratives converging into one whole, culminating in ROTJ when both sides finally secure a victory together The entire concept of this is brilliant and it adds even more scope and significance to the story that already existed
I like that in this little three episode arc, we're getting two origin stories. We're obviously getting Cassian's but we're also getting Syril's (Premo Corp Maguire) and how he may become more radicalized towards the empire. They're doing a good job showing two sides of the story where they both lose people and have to make difficult decisions.
The deputy inspector feels like a young Jalvert before Les Misérables and how he start to becomes so psychoticly obsessive about hunting down enemies. Great job on the actor's part. Authoritarians losing their minds when faced with people they can't intimidate, coerce, or control.
I love Andor! The writing, the acting, the score, the scenery…it is fantastic!! And, frankly, it’s nice to see other stories that don’t revolve around the Skywalkers. Such a GREAT Star Wars show. Love your reactions, guys.
It's Tony Gilroy, guys. He's a brilliant Oscar-nominated writer and filmmaker. When you give it to a capable creator, you'll get an artsy Star Wars. Awesome team too: Diego Luna, Fiona Shaw, Stellan Skarsgard with music by Nicholas Britell, the Oscar-nominated composer for Moonlight. What an all-around A team for a TV show.
After pausing at 15:35 I can conclude that Adam is the IRL version of officer Syril Karn. He just chose the light side this time. Thank you Jay for laying that groundwork back in Mando 2X7 when you pointed out how well Adam would fit into an imperial officer hat. LOL 😆 😆
I noticed in the 2nd episode, when Andor was pulling the parts out of the ship in the shipyard, there's a ship that is the same model as the Ghost from rebels.
I love this town tbh. It’s like, I can tell that everyone there is just sort of surviving and acting kind of like smugglers and lending money and whatnot but also, they back each other up and worry abt each other. Idk if I told the feeing right but the vibe of this town is on point… It’s like a cross between a tight knit village and some place like that first town in Obi-Wan. Where Leia was first taken.
The opening title moment adds Percussion instruments. I love the scaffolding and the lifter droids. Some droids are yellow and red matching the transportation carts. Fiona Shaw also played aunt petunia evans Dursley from Harry Potter . The shape of opening hatch matches the symbol on the patches of the dead crew. Lupin is more worried about who can steal the unit for him rather than the unit itself and where it was stored. Cassian is less afraid of the empire than the local cops. Lupin hints that he did his homework how else would he know where cassians Foster father was hung. Cassian applied both the rules he learned from lupus in rogue one. Removing the sign so invading forces can not navigate is guerrilla warfare.
I worked on Andor last year as a supporting artist at Pinewood studios for 6 weeks and was luckily enough to work alongside all the main cast in the last 2 episodes of season one. I won't give away any spoilers but look out for a character called Keeno or keyno, whichever way it's pronounced and you'll probably see me. Can't wait for the next episodes, it feels and looks amazing.
Deputy Inspector Syril Karn was told early on that Preox-Morlana didn't have much of a presence on Ferrix (so the Pre-Mor security team would be on their own if things went South), and that the locals had their own way of doing things (so they'd be uncooperative at best, or hostile at worst). So of course Karn failed to pick up on those red flags and went ahead with his pursuit of justice. 😬 He is so green in the field, and I really appreciate that such a mundane character trait is what realistically lead to disaster. I also liked how the escalation isn't one-sided. Luthen aggravated the situation by bringing bombs. Pre-Mor killed Timm and left his corpse in the open, then Brasso snagged a Tac-Pod and blew it up. All these separate actions fed into a mess that quickly grew out of control. It was such a convincing sequence showing how everything just devolved into a massive shitshow. Love this show. Can't wait for next week.
And idk what those other people are talking about. Slow down take a beat, and enjoy a beautifully crafted show. I’m with you guys on the watches going forward 100%
😂 I didn’t know I was going to get some System of a Down with my pReview’d today 😁🥁 Still in the intro when commenting, know you guys are gonna love this episode! Pumped!
Fantastic new series. Great slow burn with better acting and better story telling than the other Disney Star Wars series. Stellan and Diego are terrific and the girl from Underground 6 is great as well.
A faux-theory of mine is that Cas's parents and the parents of the other children were air quality control specialists who died related to mining, given there was a spill I'm sure the air went bad and they were the first to die as that is the role of a Kenari in the mine. More seriously, I don't think the people were on the ship were space simpsons. I think they were exposed to a yellow gas Episode 2 at 00:17:53 there is a shot of the ship the kids are coming up on and there is yellow smoke. If the yellow substance is mined on their world it may also have been used as a dye given the color of the Kenari kids clothing.
I'm digging the show a lot. I appreciated how they showed the people resentencing without dropping anvils. People gathering with outrage at Maarva's while she was being searched, their established system of alerting, Brasso (my favorite side character thus far) sabotaging the ship without a word. Bix, I think, is going to become more radicalized. On the flip side, Deputy Inspector Tight Pants fucked up royally and may become more radicalized himself in the opposite direction going more towards the Empire.
The director's choice in using sound was amazing this episode. Not using music to to call emotion, but that repetitive alarm sound. Then silence. Brilliant!
I think the fact that they decided to use bare-faced "cops" instead of helmeted Stormtroopers says everything this series wants to tell. This story is about what a social crisis means and how people are involved in it and suffer from it; both citizens and imperial agents. But I suspect that it will be about how resentment as a result of suffering is capable of transforming people and bringing out the worst in us. Just after seeing 3 chapters I dare to say that this series is the best level so far, it is more adult and much better in terms of cinematography and narrative. i love you guys so much.
I was smiling the whole episode.. Feels so different from other star wars shows, but it takes me back to the feeling of watching star wars for the first time. It's such a good show
Kyle Soller reminds me of a young Peter Cushing so I imagine his character becoming Grand Moff Tarkin. I don t know if it’s even possible with the timeline. But It feels right to me. 😊
The show is set 5 years prior to the events of Episode IV, wherein Tarkin, an old man dies on the exploding Death star, so no, it is not possible with the timeline, however, the characters does feel like someone who would be able to pick up that mantle!
I loved it! I see the vibe of make a few men feel like a hundred in play here. Also Syril Karn will have that Javert character chasing Andor swearing by the stars that he will never rest till justice is served.
Yep. This is the heart of a rebellion, people, just real people who just who have had enough. No shining (Jedi) knights, just people getting up off the ground.
I am calling it now that that imperial box is going to be called back at some point. Either it will be found by the empire when they come to the planet or he goes back and gets it later in the season
Andor is proof that stories should come first before your franchise. This approach is how you fix Star Wars and make it something worth getting invested in. Everything with Syril is perfect.
I got a little sad when Jay said, "even their ship is boring", because the design reminds me of the LAAT gunships from the clone wars, and I LOVE that design. These kind of look like a tiny version of those combined with an imperial shuttle.
They take their sweet time doing the thing, so I guess some would call this slow. I would call it gripping, intriguing and suspensful! I like how they show us Cassians friends in a montage in the later moments in this episode. You just know that a rebel cell has just been born right here!
Ever since Rogue One, I was like this is how Star Wars should be moving forward - more practical sets and real locations, more grounded and darker in tone, and no Jedi. We finally have that with Andor and I hope we see this same formula more because it’s better for Star Wars.
To be fair... it can't ALWAYS be the formula... or you never get settings like Cato Nemoidia or Felucia or Coruscant....because you simply can't do some of those alien settings without CGI landscaping.
I loved episode 3 and how in the end it really focused on each of these characters and how you could feel the pain and radicalization of each side the person was leaning toward in those close up shots.
I found the first couple of episodes on the slower side, I couldn't quite work out where the show was going but episode 3 was 😚 Really looking forward to the next episode!!
Interesting hearing you guys say people are divided on this show Star Wars fans are VERY picky, but at least content creators on youtube i follow LOVE this show and so do i. Mando is a great show and a fan service to all Star Wars fans but while it has a story feels like a different adventures every episode and im ok with that too, Andor is political, has espionage, drama, great characters, great dialogue, grim setting and its showing why this IP doesnt need to be carried by force users and lightsabers.
My wife will fall asleep during many things but she has loved this so far. Great story telling transcends the media. Like it or not, a lot of the post original trilogy stuff hasn't great story telling. The world building and imagination did so much heavy lifting that it continued to captivate people. This is telling an interesting character story that happens to be in the Star Wars universe. Kudos for the bravery to be 3 episodes in and we've not seen a storm trooper, a lightsaber, no mention of the rebellion yet. Hell we've not even seen the imperial crest. Most shows would have had a cutaway to something at the very least. Even Mandalorian couldn't keep the Empire out of things for 3 episodes.
God I love this show so far. Feels lived in, the characters feel real, the moments and scenes are given time and weight to breathe. It, so far, is probably showing how the police and authorities act as arms of fascism. And so many other little touches. The show taking a moment to show Andor clocking the aliens fleeing the shop and imply that's how he figures out where the Inspector is? Hell yeah.
Gradually moving through nice big orchestral 7th chords never fails to get the goosebumps on the go. I like how they sneakily used the James Bond theme in places too.
Your "wake up" bit reminded me of a bit on the "Is We Dumb" pod (rip) with Dan Cummins... "wake up... there's a gas leak, and you bills are all late." [calm whisper] 😆 if you know, you know.
This is Star Wars for mature audiences and I love it. I love movies and series that put your brain to work, and this show just like the Bourne Saga, does it very well. "Show, don't tell".
Alot of people are using the word "slow" to describe Andor, funny, I didn´t find it slow at all, because it was so well told/ written. All the scenes made sense, and helped build up this pocket of the Star Wars universe perfectly. And there was this constant tension in most scenes, not slow at all, but riveting all the way.
I think the pacing is perfect. It's a slow burner that's eventually going to explode.
It “feels” slow because it’s as real as you can feel in a space opera science fiction setting. It breathes and it sure smells grimier and dirtier. It’s not about princes and princesses and lords and ambassadors. It’s about people feeling desperate and angry. The pacing and the way the series asks the viewers to take in the environment, atmosphere and the inhabitants of this series is just perfect.
I am very happy that they decided to set everything up in three episodes, instead of blowing through it all in one.
Nobodys doin nothin
I feel like this is an example of the other Disney shows (Marvel and Star Wars) and a few others just entirely distorting what people expect by pacing. Because this isn't REMOTELY slow. It just isn't rushing. It's taking it's time and letting things happen.
Skarsguard's "Don't you want to fight these Bastards for Real", damn. How did the empire hurt him?
I agree. That line felt so real. The delivery completely blew me away.
Potentially a jedi considering his kaibur crystal
“Even their ship is boring” is such a great Star Wars burn 😂
Looks exactly like when a LAAT goes corporate
I'm really looking forward to the Chief Inspector getting back from his meeting and finding out that the Deputy not only disobeyed a direct order but got another squad of corpos wiped out.
Yeah he is not only totally traumatized by the reality of what happened, but the old dude is gonna flip out.
The sad part is that the Empire will put the blame on him rather than "Try Hard Trent" because he's the superior officer.
@@marcusmcgill4423 I wouldn't be surprised if the news of multiple corpo deaths and a 'rebel cell' in their territory gets to the Imperials while the Chief is in the middle of telling them that everything is fine.

I actually think this story line is done! We won’t see these side characters anymore! Might just be these story arcs!
"That's a scene..."
Two great actors, a great director, great writers, and a strong production team. Even a real set. Look what we get.
Stellan Skarsgard showing here just why he’s been in the business for four decades. Man kills it in EVERYTHING. I can’t wait to see more of him.
Facts. That whole family is talented.
@@marcusmcgill4423 He and Brendan Gleeson have fathered some of my favorite actors (in addition to being brilliant themselves).
@@jaynahoffacker2557 yep dont care about how bad ST are but Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux was so good wish they didnt destroyed the character.
Love the way Adam and Jay get closer and closer to the camera during the episode, leaning forward in their seats.
The best thing going for this show is that it's not trying to be Star Wars. The characters are rounded, the drama feels real, the world feels lived in and the trauma heavy.
Best material since Rogue One
It’s basically just letting things flow naturally without being forced
Great point, that hit the nail on the head. It's letting the story to flow naturally and develop.
Yet we’ll still get it’s too slow, there’s no Jedi or sith & it doesn’t feel like Star Wars
@@andrejul-christensen8301 For rme, "too slow" often equals "too impatient". The best told stories often take their time to get things right. Everything works so well in episode 3 BECAUSE of what was set up in episodes 1 & 2. There's no pacing issues for me.
This is the first time that Star Wars has been actual science fiction.
when Cassian talks about the arrogance of the empire. How you can just walk in if you just act the part. It foreshadows what they did on rogue One.
I love Andor. It's such a ground level show about normal people.
What I love about this show is that it doesn’t automatically assume that the audience is stupid, like so many other shows do. Nothing is being spoon fed, you actually have to pay attention to what is going on and listen to what the characters are saying. So far this show has demanded that the audience be patient and a lot of modern audiences can’t or won’t do that.
I absolutely adore this show. It feels like something Denis Villeneuve would direct if it were a movie.
I thought the exact same. Someone watched Blade Runner 2049. And that is nothing but a compliment.

I’m one of the dozens watching along with you! I hope more people get on board cause this show seems like it’s gonna truly be something special.
_Andor_ & _Rogue One_ = the rise of the Rebel Alliance from the POV of everyday non-Force sensitive citizens working to undermine the Empire and reclaim their freedom through real strategy and grit
_Rebels_ = the rise of the Rebel Alliance from the POV of a Jedi apprentice working to undermine the Empire by looking for a way to destroy the Sith and save his family
The OT = both narratives converging into one whole, culminating in ROTJ when both sides finally secure a victory together

23:10 - this is my favorite blaster in Star Wars. It’s the one that Kyle Katarn uses in Jedi Outcast.

Find the box guy is a really cool character. Even with a gun to his head, pressing against his head he kept his cool
They predicted Karn's story this season so perfectly. Love the end summary and deep dive they do, best commentary from any reaction show I have seen.
So apparently that gun is based on the one belonging to Kyle Katarn in Legends, which is a helluva callback.

Oh yeah, this guy is totally going to get removed from duty at his corpsec job, then get recruited by ISB.
The director's choice in using sound was amazing this episode. Not using music to to call emotion, but that repetitive alarm sound. Then silence. Brilliant!
Best Star Wars we've had in quite a while.
Hey Jay? Covid has slowed us all down one way or another, but we’re here for you. A check in with my guys is the highlight of my day. We love you ❤
I think the fact that they decided to use bare-faced "cops" instead of helmeted Stormtroopers says everything this series wants to tell. This story is about what a social crisis means and how people are involved in it and suffer from it; both citizens and imperial agents. But I suspect that it will be about how resentment as a result of suffering is capable of transforming people and bringing out the worst in us.
Just after seeing 3 chapters I dare to say that this series is the best level so far, it is more adult and much better in terms of cinematography and narrative.
i love you guys so much.
I am really liking this adult, nitty gritty styled Star Wars.
always enjoy your reactions blessed be adam, jay much love and respect to ya all...stay safe and medicated...lol ...
I was smiling the whole episode.. Feels so different from other star wars shows, but it takes me back to the feeling of watching star wars for the first time. It's such a good show
Kyle Soller reminds me of a young Peter Cushing so I imagine his character becoming Grand Moff Tarkin. I don t know if it’s even possible with the timeline. But It feels right to me. 😊
The show is set 5 years prior to the events of Episode IV, wherein Tarkin, an old man dies on the exploding Death star, so no, it is not possible with the timeline, however, the characters does feel like someone who would be able to pick up that mantle!
@@davidbergfors6820 Hargh only 5 years :/ o too bad for my theory-fantasy.
23:11 Cassian's gun reminds me a lot of Kyle Katarn's pistol from Jedi Outcast
The acting in this from everyone so far is really solid. When the Deputy Inspector is looking at the destruction you can just see all inner turmoil.
I’m loving the gritty, tension filled world of this show, and the world building is superb. Every episode has me wanting more.
I loved it! I see the vibe of make a few men feel like a hundred in play here. Also Syril Karn will have that Javert character chasing Andor swearing by the stars that he will never rest till justice is served.
I'm loving this show. They are back on the right track with this series and I am loving it. Also, the music is fantastic.
The dead crewmembers from the crashed ship were sporting CIS insignia.
Yep. This is the heart of a rebellion, people, just real people who just who have had enough. No shining (Jedi) knights, just people getting up off the ground.
You know I'm with you on this, guys. here's a capital-D 'Drama', and it's great.
I am calling it now that that imperial box is going to be called back at some point. Either it will be found by the empire when they come to the planet or he goes back and gets it later in the season
Andor is proof that stories should come first before your franchise.
This approach is how you fix Star Wars and make it something worth getting invested in. Everything with Syril is perfect.
We need more of this type of Star Wars show! They don’t even need to be tied to the main storyline.
I got a little sad when Jay said, "even their ship is boring", because the design reminds me of the LAAT gunships from the clone wars, and I LOVE that design. These kind of look like a tiny version of those combined with an imperial shuttle.
LAAT goes corporate -- loses the cool paint job, tosses the bubble gunner seats, and sadly is put on a slab to be painted matte gray
Loved the stairs droid.
They take their sweet time doing the thing, so I guess some would call this slow. I would call it gripping, intriguing and suspensful!
I like how they show us Cassians friends in a montage in the later moments in this episode. You just know that a rebel cell has just been born right here!
What I like as well is the feel, the colour pallet and the grittiness compliments Rogue One as a story about the birth of the Rebellion.
Ever since Rogue One, I was like this is how Star Wars should be moving forward - more practical sets and real locations, more grounded and darker in tone, and no Jedi. We finally have that with Andor and I hope we see this same formula more because it’s better for Star Wars.
To be fair... it can't ALWAYS be the formula... or you never get settings like Cato Nemoidia or Felucia or Coruscant....because you simply can't do some of those alien settings without CGI landscaping.
His gun is the Bryar pistol from the old Dark Forces games with Kyle Katarn
I loved episode 3 and how in the end it really focused on each of these characters and how you could feel the pain and radicalization of each side the person was leaning toward in those close up shots.
I found the first couple of episodes on the slower side, I couldn't quite work out where the show was going but episode 3 was 😚 Really looking forward to the next episode!!
8:38. Thanks Jay. Now I can't unsee it. I'm going to thinking about hot dogs whenever I see the guards now.
Interesting hearing you guys say people are divided on this show Star Wars fans are VERY picky, but at least content creators on youtube i follow LOVE this show and so do i. Mando is a great show and a fan service to all Star Wars fans but while it has a story feels like a different adventures every episode and im ok with that too, Andor is political, has espionage, drama, great characters, great dialogue, grim setting and its showing why this IP doesnt need to be carried by force users and lightsabers.
My wife will fall asleep during many things but she has loved this so far. Great story telling transcends the media. Like it or not, a lot of the post original trilogy stuff hasn't great story telling. The world building and imagination did so much heavy lifting that it continued to captivate people. This is telling an interesting character story that happens to be in the Star Wars universe. Kudos for the bravery to be 3 episodes in and we've not seen a storm trooper, a lightsaber, no mention of the rebellion yet. Hell we've not even seen the imperial crest. Most shows would have had a cutaway to something at the very least. Even Mandalorian couldn't keep the Empire out of things for 3 episodes.
I'm loving this show thus far. I always enjoy a well lived in universe, which is why I love the SW novels. This show is delivering a similar vibe.
God I love this show so far. Feels lived in, the characters feel real, the moments and scenes are given time and weight to breathe. It, so far, is probably showing how the police and authorities act as arms of fascism. And so many other little touches. The show taking a moment to show Andor clocking the aliens fleeing the shop and imply that's how he figures out where the Inspector is? Hell yeah.
Have you noticed that the music in each of the 'Andir' openings has been evolving?
Kasa's last look - Mongo is just a pawn in the big game of life
@pReview'd have you noticed how incredible the music was at the end of the episode ? it gave me goosebumps
Gradually moving through nice big orchestral 7th chords never fails to get the goosebumps on the go. I like how they sneakily used the James Bond theme in places too.
Such a great paced story building for the beginning of the rebellion. Can't wait for episode 4
Your "wake up" bit reminded me of a bit on the "Is We Dumb" pod (rip) with Dan Cummins... "wake up... there's a gas leak, and you bills are all late." [calm whisper] 😆 if you know, you know.
This is Star Wars for mature audiences and I love it. I love movies and series that put your brain to work, and this show just like the Bourne Saga, does it very well. "Show, don't tell".
