snek_boiWhat's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?
No love for Archer? Witty, profane, great animation/artwork, one writer/creator carrying the whole show, and eponymous lead voiced by H. Jon Benjamin. What am I missing?
Not nearly enough love for Andor? Season 2, episodes 7, 8, and 9 showcase some of the most compelling sequences on TV. Diego Luna, a man under enormous pressure ready to come apart at the seams, run by master manipulator Stella Skarsgård. Andy Serkis. Forrest Whittaker. Empire baddies Denise Gough and Ben Mendelssohn. Best Star Wars offerings outside the original trilogy screenplays hands down. Fight me.
Nor for my most embarrassing and guiltiest pleasure Downton Abbey? Plus two full length feature sequels? Come now.
Andor was so goooooooooooooood.
I think season 2 was an improvement on season one, and the ending hit pretty hard. But I think Narkina 5 was the most powerfully arc.
So many killer lines.
“One way out”
“I can’t swim”
So powerful. One way out for Kino Loy.
Also “how nice for you” … fuckin DEVESTATING.
