The first season of ANDOR ends with sky and stone, plus a brick to the face of fascism
by Ryan Silberstein, Managing Editor, Red Herring
Well there it is, the best season of live action Star Wars so far.
As we head to the finale, is ANDOR tied on the end of a string?
by Ryan Silberstein, Managing Editor, Red Herring
This cat and mouse skirmish is a perfect microcosm of Luthen’s fight against the Empire—if they want to catch him, they will need a better mousetrap.
Episode 10 of ANDOR is a manifesto, not a statement
by Ryan Silberstein, Managing Editor, Red Herring
The tenth episode of Andor brings the themes of the season even more into focus as our main characters try to break out of their cages from the last two episodes.
Episodes 8 and 9 of ANDOR put characters into all manner of cages

The end game of this season isn’t clear just yet, but we continue to see the ripple effects of the Aldhani heist.
Episode 7 of ANDOR sees the political plot thickening
by Ryan Silberstein, Managing Editor, Red Herring
Star Wars politics has never been as thrilling on screen as it was in the seventh episode of Andor.
A thrilling heist and reversals in perspective on ANDOR episode 6

The heist itself is a thrilling sequence, and one of the best extended action sequences I can remember on any series.

The manner in which the pandemic has forced many, if not most, to sequester themselves indoors has done a number on couples. While it’s bonded some (see Emily and Shane on The Real Housewives of Orange County), for others, well, it’s not looking so good (see Braunwyn and Sean on The Real Housewives of Orange County). Last season, everyone was just s-u-r-e that Emily and Shane were headed for Divorce Court while Braunwyn and Sean seemed like a refreshingly modern, secure, open married couple despite having seven children (SEVEN!) Wellllllll, not so much now. This season of RHOC finds Emily and Shane gleefully communicating while divvying house chores as Braunwyn, working hard to stay sober during a quarantine, can’t help but pick fights with her husband on everything from what times during the day he’s allowed to access the kitchen (she’s tired of cleaning it) and how to do the laundry (she doesn’t know how to use the washing machine). While I know I’m making light of the situation (COVID-19 has increased the opportunities for intimate partner violence while decreasing possibilities to leave), watching the normally glam cast of Real Housewives’ franchises navigate a somewhat equalizing event like a global health crisis has reminded me how fascinated I am by romantic relationships. No matter what you see on the surface, whether that’s in person or on tv, you 100% have no idea what’s actually going on in that situation. You never really know a relationship unless you’re actually in it.
