rhouses it’s just you. It’s certain to be another Sony-misfire. Outside of the Spider-Man movies they’ve all been terrible. Or so I’ve heard, not watched any of them.

      Fucking hell Andor is good. This show is actually making Empire seem competant evil, instead of the usual clumsy one. And scary.

        Thunderbolts* (2025). Not as good as the reviews suggest, but still better than most post Endgame MCU-movies. This joins Dr Strange 2 and Guardians 3 in the “yeah I liked it” category. I still can’t count Deadpool vs Wolverine in the MCU, so I’m excluding that.

        Andor is just so good. Damn episodes 8 & 9….

            Homegrove Agreed… Bloody marvelous stuff. That Andor themr reminds me of Way out West on a good day.

              Do you have to watch the whole Star wars tv series or is it a stand alone series.

                Homegrove Agreed - watched those 2 episodes last night with the kids - incredible

                Ep8 was particulaly intense (thankfully my 8yr old daughter slept fine!)

                  Dubman you can watch Andor alone (season 1 first of course) with just a rudimentary knowledge of Star Wars.

                    First series of Andor was ok. Is this new one a lot better then?

                      Millsy opinions vary. Some say it’s too political and slow. I love it more because of it. And of course the people who want just jedis from Star Wars hate it. I think this is great TV on any metric, not just great Star Wars. And making the Empire genuinely scary again is just a fantastic pull.

                                    Lol. My fave episode of series one is when they had to go online to fill in a star cruiser registration form and were on hold to the starfleet helpline for 6 hours with the Imperial Match as the hold muzak and the occasional interjection by a Darth Vader voice stating ‘your lack of patience is disturbing’ .

                                    Amps more like the cold genocide in S2.

                                      Andor ended perfectly. Of course now I have to watch Rogue One again. Which is hardly a chore.

                                        Homegrove It was brilliant.

                                        Worth the subscription!

                                          Season 2 was superb. Straight into Rogue One after.
