I watched:

Andor (Disney+) - The final 3 episodes of the season were released.

"Make It Stop" - This episode hit the ground running as Luthen learns 
the Empire is building a new weapon called a "Death Star."

"Who Else Knows?" - Krennic shows up to personally look into the "Death 
Star" situation and make sure it's handled.  Meanwhile Cassian and 
everyone's favorite killer robot K-2SO mount a rescue mission.  "Are you 
with us?  "No."

"Jedha, Kyber, Erso" - K-2SO continues his killing spree, I mean rescue 
mission, as Cassian has vital information he must return to the rebel 
alliance.  I had a bit of a "Total Recall" flashback when K-2SO grabbed 
one guy and used him as a human shield as he fought his way through.

Overall the show wrapped up very well.  Nothing's going to top season 1, 
but season 2 held it's own.  I was a little surprised when K-2SO 
mentioned remembering being in a parade in front of the emperor. 
Obviously he's a reprogrammed droid, no hiding that.  But I figured 
they'd have wiped his memory.  But he actually remembers his old life. 
I wonder if he has any thoughts on that.  Or maybe it's just as long as 
he still gets to kill people, he doesn't care which side it's for.
