“I’m not a Star Wars fan, but Andor is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. A person who has never seen anything Star Wars-related could watch Andor, and the quality would still shine through.“ "It’s amazingly funny, but the deeper moments also hit in such beautifully devastating ways. It's a really well-made show, and one of my favs of the last several years for sure." "It's a perfect coming-of-age sitcom and the closest I've ever seen another show get to the manic beauty of Malcolm in the Middle." "It took me a minute to get into it at first, but once I did, it became a favorite. The characters are amazing." "Season 2 is as close to perfection as any show will ever get." "I have a few favorite episodes, but a standout of mine is the "Cloak of Duplication" episode. The actors doing impressions of each other's characters is top-tier acting. We have a channel here that airs multiple episodes of WWDITS two nights a week, and I never tire of it." "I loved that rug-pull twist, and then the rest of the series being one zany situation to another, like the Hitchhiker's trilogy. It's a beautiful, sweet, hilarious show that will probably stay in the 'beloved and underrated category' for a very, very long time." "Although you don't need to be, if you are a Poe fan and have read and remembered many of his stories, there are SO MANY references to other characters, plots, and locations mentioned in the show. I was completely enthralled with the show, and whenever another story link was made, I found myself grinning from ear to ear. The creator, Mike Flanagan, did two other amazing shows: The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor. Both are must-see series. HHH is a modern-day classic and will be studied in film schools for a number of reasons. It is the best adaptation I've ever seen, with the exception of To Kill a Mockingbird. HBM is just plain good. Excellent casting, pace, mystery, and brilliant performances from absolutely everyone."" Author's note (because I can't stop myself): Betty Gilpin is one of the best actors we have, and we must put more respect on her name!!!! Betty, if you're out there, I love you, and I'll be mad forever that GLOW was canceled. "'Office Space' and 'Last Night Gus' are two of the funniest episodes of any TV show I've ever seen." "My ex had to walk me through the first season because man, the show was a bit rough before they figured out who Leslie Knope was. But after that? One of the most heartfelt and authentic comedies I've ever seen." "I just broke up with my partner because he didn't like Golden Girls and I found that sus." "The final episode is such perfection. I love returning to the show just to get to the end, as silly as that sounds." "It’s so good! I watched it in my 20s before my mom died, and then again in my mid-30s, and it was like a different show. I related to Claire my first watch before kids, and then Ruth after. There’s something so cathartic about addressing death so head-on, the way it does. It might be time for a rewatch." "The soundtrack alone makes it worth the watch for me. On top of the fact that it’s truly one of the most brilliant and well-thought-out timelines in sci-fi out there. Perfection." "I've made five people watch the show, and they are all so happy they watched it." "Walton Goggins steals every scene he's in with that character."
