The whole point of the series is that first half Cass is an entirely different man from second half Cass. And by the final chapter he has fully transformed into the rebel spy and leader he is in Rogue One. You see him deal with conflict in three entirely different ways and mindsets through the series. All main characters change profoundly by having their whole worldview challenged is kind of the point of the plot.
He kills those guards, then kind of just wanders around aimlessly with the vague goal of selling something, then he agrees to escape with that old guy who only speaks in catchphrases and sound bites, then he finally accidentally walks into a pretty good spy story. Don't get me wrong, once it really got going I enjoyed watching it, but the whole first part of the series was like a chore I had to endure to see why people were saying the show was so good.
