there hasn't been a show like Andor for a long time, if ever.

Andor in these most recent episodes feels closer to George Lucas’ dystopian first movie THX-1138 and I’m loving it.

the styling of the prison was all THX-1138, with all the white.

it's just the best show out there rn imo, i will be bummed when it ends tomorrow, i have loved these weekly threads, we all watched Andor grow together, it was kinda nice.

Well, season finale. Not the last one last one.

For anyone who didn't know, they've previously announced there will be a second season, and they've reportedly started filming it very recently.

B2MO also really leans into George saying astromechs are the dogs of the Star Wars universe

This show is so good, I am blown away every week. I can’t wait to watch Rogue One again after finishing the 2nd season.

it's from the article, i thought it deserved a mention but yeah i agree, and this is the best paragraph i could find...., the author is, i think, trying to write some high-minded philosophical essay

Colossus, existence, it's a bit much for a tv show i feel, we're not talking True Detective here.

good call!, you're right!

one of the writers on The Americans is now involved with Andor.

Chernobyl is another.

Andor is a Cold War story transposed to an entirely fictional setting, and that makes it interesting in its own right.

The fanboy hyperbole around this show is fucking ridiculous.
