the only star wars show worth watching tbh. the writing, the production, the acting, everything is impeccableānot 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 eggsāit 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

I have had enough of āprestigeā 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 ācomfortā show or whatever ppl say these days.

PLEASE if u havenāt seen itā¦ u need to. its my first time watching through, and iām struck by how sincere this show is. iāve been feeling rly sick of irony / ironic media, and LOST is a balm of sorts, making me feel hopeful when nothing else is rn. the writers arenāt afraid to lean all the way in, into archetypes, absurdity, sweetness, dramaā¦. yeah, canāt recommend it more highly tbh

Itās a truly fucked up show about a criminal who shows up in a small town in PA and somehow assumes the role of the town sheriff and it is up there with the best shows Iāve ever seen
Antony Starr who plays homelander is the main character and hes still insane and such a great actor
Itās not like prestige television but it is so fucking cool

Dear Louise
There's so many things I want
But mainly, and like everybody
I want to be loved
Don't you think, dear Louise
That because, I think
I have a light heart
It's been such a long time
Since I was in love?
