ANDOR
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

doesn’t matter if you haven’t watched any of the star wars movies. this series alone is so well written and I’m so sad it’s over.

re-upping this rec now that the series finale dropped: this show is a masterpiece. i often see asks on here along the lines of "how do i stay hopeful in the face of the destruction of the world around me," and i am not shitting you at all when i say that - for well over a year now - this show and its ideas have been an enormous part of how i still find it in myself to have hope despite it all.
it is a dark, brutal show, but its brutality exists to underscore the show's absolutely unshakable faith in the indomitability of the human spirit, the fragility of tyranny, and the revolutionary power of love. do not get scared away by the "star wars" of it all - if you have ever struggled to stay the course when faced with the weight of the world's horrors, you absolutely need to watch this show. it tells a timeless story that is essential for our time.
