Cassian Andor: [Points gun at Kravas] Tell me now! Tell me what to do! Let's hear it boss! Get up. Get him up. Get him up! Move!
Kravas: [Breathes shakily] He's not breathing.
Cassian Andor: No.
Kravas: Verlo! Verlo!
Cassian Andor: He's faking!
Kravas: He's not!
[Whimpers]
Kravas: You killed him.
[Guard gasping]
Kravas: You didn't mean it. He fell. We had a misunderstanding and... we'll go in together. We played hard in hitting and you didn't understand it. He tried to grab you, and... and he fell, and he hit his head. We'll go in together. We'll tell them what happened.

- ConnectionsFeatured in Disparu: Andor Review Episode 1 - Disney DESTROYS Star Wars (2022)
This episode is the opener of the season and is obviously gonna be an introduction with fewer big events or explosions and action and all that, and I think that's why they released 3 episodes first and I'm assuming the 3rd is gonna end on a cliffhanger or something. The point I'm trying to make is that the show seems a slow burn and I actually like they're going this route and laying their plot this way instead of rushing or giving us pointless action just to keep the kids' attention span on the screen.
And that's also why I'm giving it a 7 because it is a competent start but nothing mindblowing or amazing yet.
This show's writing also continues the way of Rogue One's character building and giving characters backstory which I really liked about Rogue One as opposed to the Sequels. Even though this is like the simplest and most clichéd way of characterization, doesn't mean it's not gonna work and is definitely better than wasting 3 big movie budgets and +6 hours of our lives on a character with no name of family or backstory. And I am in no way trying to say that a character without flashbacks and backstory about his/her parents/siblings doesn't work at all, it's just that they went out of their way to find the most horrible way to implement this point about that character. This was the reason why many people liked Jyn and not Rey, cause her story was personal and she had the least amount of characterization and something that made us care about her character.
So like I said, they actually give backstory to the protagonist here and make the story personal just like Rogue One. One of the main reasons Star Wars became so huge was because of this personal storytelling and characters being each other's sons and sisters. It's space family soap opera after all.
So it's a competent start and did a good job of reintroducing Cassian Andor and giving him a competent backstory. Though I am getting a little tired of seeing flashbacks all the time in these shows. So let's hope these were the only ones or at least.
And also here's hoping the show is actually what it's looking to be and won't be incompetently written like every MCU show so far or the horrible Obi-Wan show written by a 5-year-old, and isn't rushed in the last few episodes, which by the looks of the number of episodes, it doesn't seem that way.
