Tomorrow, the new Star Wars series Andor will finally premiere on Disney+ after years of being in the works and release date changes. There has been a lot of anticipation for the new series thanks to its promising story and serving as a prequel to the acclaimed Rogue One. It was even ramped up by the social media reactions last week which is giving it early high praises.
Now, the review embargo for Andor has been lifted and critics finally published their respective reviews of the highly-anticipated series. Based on what we've seen so far, most of them are already hailing it as "the best Star Wars series" yet according to the first four episodes that were presented to them.

It also received an impressive Metacritic score of 75 based on the 23 reviews that they also gathered as of the moment.

A lot of critics are also noting it as "darker" and "different" from the other Star Wars live-action shows that were released on Disney+ so far. Some of them are also claiming it to have an "HBO-level" quality. Its visuals, cinematography, performances of the cast, and storytelling were also receiving praise in the reviews.
Obviously, this is all their own respective opinions so you might have a different feeling when you finally watch the first three episodes tomorrow.
