Andor was shot in Britain, had a British production team, and the cast are mostly from the British isles. The entire Ferrix arc has so many parallels to the Battle of Orgreave I actually couldn’t get into it here without writing a wall of text.
Compared to what? Which contemporary serialised media is better? I can’t name one. We can go big and say the early GoT serie (not the late ones) or Breaking Bad. Andor is significantly better than both. Why be so dismissive?
What high art are you comparing it to that’s so much better that it deserves to be so incredibly dismissive? Because if you’ve got something better to suggest that released in the last 20 years then I’d like to add it to my list. Chernobyl gets to go up there I suppose but it still had some brainworms, Handmaid’s Tale was alright, Westworld not in the running, House of Cards is really trashy and not down to earth by comparison imo. I don’t know what I would say was better. Maybe Utopia? That was pretty rad. It shares some of the same production team members though lol.
I feel like you’re being overly dismissive in a “it’s star wars lol” kind of way instead of an honest comparison of the show to pretty much any other serialised content in the last 25 years. If we reel off names of series and ask which was better and has more depth to read into or analyse it comes out ahead quite a lot unless you’re just wilfully trying to ignore that they’re not really telling a Star Wars story, they’re telling a communist story with a Star Wars skin as a way to get it past bean counters and execs.
i dont really care about high art or prime time tv shows. my point is not to compare it to other tv and say thats its better. my point is that its a tv show produced by disney and its not secretly super communist propaganda or something. businesses constantly use revolutionary aesthetics for profit.
Or a film director knew about a film wirh revolutionary vibes and a score by one of the best to do it and ripped it off.
A bit cynical.
