Ok. Andor is good.
S2 you mean? I... didn't quite like it. What they released so far, at least. It was ok, but not great. Almost everything felt more cartoonish than in S1 - the tech, the villainy, the human interactions, the stakes.
And I kinda hated the structure, how they kept jumping between the different plots instead of focusing on one thing. E.g. they should have stayed with the TIE interceptor snafu until resolution, like they did with the prison in S1.
I might have overhyped myself with this one, to be fair.

Season 1 mostly. I see what you mean about the structure of S2 though.

Mostly I think the show hits just because of the rise of authoritarianism... it may not actually be due to merits of the show itself. /thoughtful-face

Hmm. I'm not sure I'd agree. While, certainly, topicality helps, the first season seemed genuinely a cut above most other shows out there. It felt fresh, and thoughtful, and bold (in how it was put together, I mean).

Not too impressed with the first episodes of S2 Andor...

S1 managed to capture retrofuturism of 1970s, true original Star Wars vibe mixed with space nazi aesthetic of the Empire.  S2 feels... much more contemporary.

I finished the latest season of Daredevil: Born Again.

I was initially confused as to whether this was a sequel or a reboot. Turns out it's a continuation of the 2015 series which went on a lengthy hiatus after 3 seasons and a spin-off.

I almost skipped this one as the third season was forgettable and the spinoff was terrible. But I heard some good things and decided to give Daredevil another chance. It's been pretty watchable. This season has Kingpin run for and become Mayor, leading to rampant government corruption and a rise in legalized crime. And all of this comes at a time when Daredevil is trying to retire from vigilante work due to emotional drama after he failed to save his friend.

Born Again is set to tell it's story over 2 seasons. The first ended with a mild cliffhanger that has me eager to see how everything shakes out in the next season.
