The media and political narrative is clear: the Greens’ woeful election performance is the result of voters punishing them for their dangerously radical beliefs (don’t bomb hospitals, starving children is wrong, you should be able to afford the dentist) — the rabid ravings of frothy-lipped eco-terrorists, gone feral from inhaling the fumes of dangerous culture war dogma (trans people should be protected, refugees shouldn’t be tortured, etc).

To discuss season two of Disney’s Andor without discussing the genocide in Gaza would be both morally and intellectually disingenuous, and cowardly in a way that stains. Tony Gilroy knows this, despite his press-tour pussyfooting.
