Nielsen have updated their streaming charts and finally added episode 12 of Andor, which was the last episode of season 1. And it seems the strategy to air the first two Andor episodes on network tv paid off, since Andor’s viewing minutes got a huge boost compared to previous episodes! Click through for more!

One Way Out!

Full Story

It’s time for the weekly Nielsen Streaming Charts update! Andor has dropped out of the top 10 original series charts. In 10th place is The Handmaid’s Tale with 441 million minutes, and last week Andor had a little less than 400 million minutes. Previous episodes never really reached the numbers The Handmaid’s Tale has, which explains why Andor’s numbers are not good enough for the top 10 this week. With that Andor is the first Star Wars live action series to disappear from the original series streaming charts. Read more after the jump!

Full Story

The Nielsen Streaming Charts were delayed this time because of the holiday weekend in the US. But today Nielsen finally updated their charts. The last time Andor accumulated 418 million minutes with episode 7. Episode 8 (the beginning of the Narkina 5 prison arc) however, sees a small decline to 385 million minutes. But since a high profile series like Rings of Power dropped out of the charts (two weeks after the final episode was included in the charts), Andor is in 8th place and stays in the top 10 original streaming series charts.
It’s safe to say that Andor has found its audience, which is roughly 40-60% (depending on what episodes you look at) of the previous two Star Wars live action series, The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi (while The Mandalorian had more viewers still). This does makes Andor the most popular show on Disney+, but there is no competition on the streaming service at the moment. Let’s see if the ratings improve again a bit in two weeks, once the final prison arc episode is included by Nielsen.

Cassian is sent to prison in episode 8

The Nielsen Streaming Charts are delayed this week, probably because of the holiday. But to fill the hole that Andor left behind why not watch the latest work by YouTube channel Auralnauts who released a 1970s vintage era Andor series intro earlier this week. And they nailed it down, from the Doctor Who inspired synth music to the cheesy editing you usually found in those series intros until they slowly went out of fashion after the 1980s and are virtually non-existent in the modern entertainment landscape. But if Andor had been a tv show in 1975… chances are good it would have looked something like this. Almost makes you miss those old fashioned intros that took their time to introduce the characters, often with catchy theme songs. Click through to watch the trailer!

The Andor season finale dropped today and it did deliver. Things escalate when all the major characters meet on Ferrix. Can Cassian rescue Bix? Will Vel, Cinta and Luthen try to kill him? Or will Dedra capture her most wanted rebel? And what will happen at Maarva’s funeral, the trap set for Cassian? Many things happened in this episode, so please read my spoiler review and let’s discuss the Andor season finale by clicking here or on the banner!

After a few weeks’ hiatus, two more Andor character posters were added this week. Click below to check out Two Tubes and B2EMO.

It’s Friday, which means the Nielsen Streaming Charts have been updated. Just a few words today. Andor ratings have improved yet again a little with episode 7. Which was the standalone episode with Andor going on a vacation. It was 405 million minutes last week, and it’s 418 million minutes for episode 7 now. Which makes Andor the most watched Disney+ series, after She-Hulk ended. Andor drops to #9 in the charts though, because of the competition. So we have to see if Andor can maintain its top 10 position in the original series charts next week. However, Rings of Power should drop out of the top 10 next week, one week after the finale RoP is still good enough for position 5 with 570 million minutes, and remember, this is for the week after the finale with no new episode added. Anyway, the ratings for Andor seem to have reached a stable level and chances are ratings will improve further, because word of mouth is very positive. But it’s still the least watched Star Wars live action series. Obi-Wan Kenobi had ended with episode 6, but episode 7 of The Book of Boba Fett had 885 million minutes, which was of course the season finale.
But Andor’s ratings are still very solid, especially for a drama series that breaks with several Star Wars traditions and that doesn’t feature a fan favourite character from the Original or Prequel Trilogy – or cute little Baby Yodas.

An innocent tourist witnesses Imperial police brutality

Aliens! A space battle! Surprises! Daughter of Ferrix has it all. It’s the penultimate episode of the season and things are moved into place for the finale next week. We catch up with all important characters and also learn how Bix is doing, who is still in Imperial custody. The episode also has few things to say about droids. So there’s lots to talk about once more! Click here or on the banner to read my spoiler review and let’s discuss the latest Andor episode!

Fans living in the US who are not subscribed to Disney+ will get a chance to watch the first two Andor episodes on various networks and Hulu next week!

ABC:  Wednesday November 23,  9-10:30 pm ET/PT
FX:  Thursday, November 24, 9-10:30 pm ET/PT
Freeform:  Friday, November 25, 9-10:30 pm ET/PT 
Hulu:  Available from November 23 through December 7  

Of course this means the third episode will not be available, and you can say this is Disney’s way of gaining more subscribers, since watching just the first two episodes means you miss out on the final episode of the arc, leaving things very much unfinished. It’s obvious Disney hopes that at least some people will get hooked and want more. It’s not the first time a streaming service has done something similar, some Star Trek episodes were available on YouTube in the US and even network tv (much later though). Let’s see if this will have an effect on Andor’s tail end, since the episodes air the day the season finale is released on Disney+. Meaning, if someone gets hooked they can binge the entire show over Thanksgiving and the following weekend.

Disney is targeting new subscribers

Nielsen have updated their weekly streaming charts with numbers for Andor episode 6, which was the finale of the Aldhani heist arc. And the ratings have improved. Click through for more details!

One Way Out concludes the prison arc, with Cassian setting his plan to escape Narkina 5 in motion. But to me the real highlight of this week’s episode were two scenes in which characters just talk, Mon Mothma, who has to contemplate an offer that would bring unhappiness to someone she loves… and then Luthen Rael, who reveals to a fellow rebel what being a rebel cost him, what sacrifices he has made. So there’s once again lots to talk about! Read my spoiler review for One Way Out and let’s discuss the latest Andor episode by clicking here or on the banner!
