It's interesting that I've seen quite a few references to Loy's prison break speech, which is indeed quite good, but it's also just about the only thing I ever see referenced in this show: one extended sequence in a 12 episode season.
I know there's been some debate between this and Skeleton Crew. (Which is far stronger in the SW tone IMO.)
This show did help me understand how important motivation is to a character and story. By far every character I became fond of were ones with pretty clear motivations. I don't know who decided Andor himself needed an entire season to find his motivation bit that was a mistake. They really should have started with him as a thief just trying to survive and then Luthen is the one to recruit and give him direction.
By far the worst sin of the show is that it could have interesting things to say and examine, but the show doesn't realize its own limitations and keeps stumbling before the finish line. I think everyone loves the prison arc because that's the point the show fulfilled its aim and potential.
