Flabbergasted
Episode 9 of Andor Season 2 dives deep into the darkest corners of an Orwellian society.
The creators behind the Empire's conspiracy plotline have done their job with astonishing precision.
Manipulation. Propaganda. Division of society. Gradual descent into chaos. Half-truths. Espionage. Provocations. The exploitation of public sentiment to achieve calculated goals.
All these themes, explored across three episodes, are portrayed with surgical accuracy.
I sincerely hope that younger viewers, after watching the second season in its entirety, will begin to ask bold questions - about power, about how information is constructed and controlled. That they will discover the crucial role truth plays in their lives - and how much must be sacrificed to access it.
Highly recommended. Andor is not just a Star Wars story - it's a reflection of our world.
