I had a similar experience, though episode 3 did hook me in.

Andor is pretty unlikeable in the first two episodes, just a grifter who gets other people to lie or cover for him, and has now accidentally murdered someone and is bringing the heat back home. And the connection between him and the jungle kids is not clear at all(to me, anyway)

Not saying it has to change, as the payoff is there. But I can see people needing a push from a friend's recommendation to keep going past the slow start.
