    They just got rid of Kimmel, presumably at Dear Leader’s demand, and presumably the only people watching that already agreed with him. What’s the difference?

      I think Andor is as safe as basically anything else on streaming. Yes, anyone who actually watches it will see a show that is not afraid to vilify the kinds of people who would join a rebellion while pointing out the far greater evil that makes those bastards acceptable in the here and now. It is a show that is very conscious of both indigenous people and class politics that is not at all afraid of showing the far greater strength the many have AND the cost of using that strength. And season 2 straight up is about genocide and manufactured conflict.

      But… nobody is going to actually watch that without being into it. It is a “prestige” show in SFF. To all the chuds (and the vast majority of the rest) it is just something that you say you’re going to watch some day but never actually do because Ow My Balls repeats are on.

        You didn’t answer the question. Kimmel was the same. No one was going to watch it if they didn’t already agree. The same as Andor. What’s the difference?
