Even though the first season of Andor is halfway over now, it truly feels as though it’s still just beginning.
Last week’s episode was one of the most intense and heartbreaking installments of the show so far, though it likely won’t hold that title for long. The show has proven, among other things, that its purpose really is to show the darker side of the budding rebellion against the Galactic Empire.
With numerous deaths and twists many couldn’t possibly have expected, the show has also proven it has absolutely no interest in pleasing its audience. Does it entertain? Yes. But it does not seek to give fans what they think they want. Instead, it aims to tell the story it needs to tell — one of sacrifice, of mistakes, one of bad decisions and questionable morals and people just trying to survive in a universe that doesn’t care whether they live or die.
Andor is, among other things, a story of survival in a time where there is no hope to reach for.
After the tension and tragedy of last week’s episode, many fans are expecting a quieter episode, at the very least one that prompts the entire collective audience to accidentally hold its breath for 53 minutes straight.
Still fast, still intense. But maybe with fewer losses of lives. Maybe.
