02:54 - What I like (Andor)

13:52 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (The Apothecary Diaries)

14:22 - Overall (The Apothecary Diaries)

Andor season 2

What I like 

I like that some of the characters from Rogue One made an appearance (like K-2SO and Orson Krennic)

Episode 8 (Who are you), 9 (Welcome to the Rebellion) & 10 (Make it Stop) are my favorites

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

I didn’t like that we didn’t see much of the fallout of Mon Mothma's family after her speech to the Senate.

I felt like they could have done one more season (aka season 3)

The Apothecary Diaries season 2

What I Like

Some funny moments (like Jinshi dressing up as a moon fairy or episode 9 when he and Maomao fall into a cave where she touches his “ahem” frog)

Interesting twist regarding Shisui being a server girl & a concubine 

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Having to wait for season 3
