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.

            In the words of Edward Smalls, give it the big s to the werve!

            Homegrove genuinely scary

            Slow bureaucracy, absolutely terrifying!

              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.

                  Last three episodes were passable, I should invoice you for episodes 1-9.
