I have had enough of “prestige” modern television which seems to be built on shock value, cliff hangers, and horrible/morally compromised characters.
I could go on and on about this show but quite simply, a mystery is presented and solved within each self contained episode and the good guys always win. The special effects are kitschy and fun and while there is a lot of mildly problematic and dated aspects to the writing - I would say it holds up pretty well generally speaking. Great “comfort“ show or whatever ppl say these days.

A true deep cut fave. Starts slow, but turns into one of the most groundbreaking pieces of sci-fi (and TV). Dark, challenging, emotional and way ahead of its time.

the only star wars show worth watching tbh. the writing, the production, the acting, everything is impeccable—not just by star wars standards, but in general. seriously, one of the best shows ever. it doesn't rely on fanservicey cameos and cheap easter eggs—it relies on powerful storytelling and thoughtful crafting; substance over spectacle. it's like if star wars were produced by HBO (i still can't believe it's actually d*sney given the lackluster cash grab shit shows they've been producing for the past decade)
the way it depicts the banality of evil, the insidious nature of fascism, the ugly sacrifices of a rebellion, and the beautiful power of love and community in such a grounded way with nuance is just *chef's kiss*. this is not your typical family-friendly "good vs evil" star wars story. no jedis, no siths, no lightsabers, but i'm seated. i am simply too seated. and diego luna is hot. adria arjona too. (god i love their chemistry and i'm so emotionally invested in their characters' love story)
but seriously, it's a well-written story about oppressed people rebelling against fascism that happens to borrow the universe of a popular franchise. i could talk for hours about andor. go watch andor! you don't have to be a star wars fan to enjoy it, i promise you won't regret it

Might not be enjoyed by everyone, with how it is heavily gory, crude and with main characters who are stupid a lot of the time. But for others like me, that’s hilarious and I love the way that James Gunn manages to balance that with great character development and emotion, as well as a very engaging story where each episode ends on a big cliffhanger. Haven’t had this much fun watching a series in a while!

to me this is one of life’s most simple joys - especially during the winter.
The combination of not driving + the heat from the pie keeping your legs warm + direct pizza fumes provides a precious and rare sensory experience

Feat. Weird ceramic Superman and protein granola and yes I had a psychedelic experience watching Star Wars the other night when I was stoned
