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.

What every good show has to do when it starts off is introduce the world that it plays in. For "Andor," this is a story that spans various different worlds around the galaxy, but opens with a new world called Ferrix, and Gilroy does a really good job of developing the planet, which is definitely going to be a birthplace of something bigger. It's a world that seems unbothered by what's going on around it, which is obviously what will set it up to be important later. There's not a lot of story being given to the audience here, but some of the basic ideas are set and it's clear that Andor is off to a bad start with the Empire already. He's not a very popular individual with certain members involved. The character work is very good, and Andor's past is explored in some cleverly laid flashbacks that doesn't give us a lot, but teases his early beginnings with the Empire and sets a lot of groundwork for what his objective seems to be in the present day storyline. And it's great to see Diego Luna in a role that already seems more appreciated than what he did in "Rogue One." He's a great actor and the focus on the spy elements here gives him a chance to work some of the muscles he hasn't been using to this point. There's obviously a lot to be desired, and the next few episodes will surely work off this groundwork and expand the story a little.
"Kassa" is a nice beginning for a show, and it puts more focus on a place that is outside of the Empire's interests for now. A lot of ground is laid here, and it's clear that there's a lot more still to come and maybe they could have put a bit more in this too.
