Andor, Created by Tony Gilroy (Review)

Starring Diego Luna, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, and Stellan SkarsgårdRated TV-14 for language and violenceDistributed by Disney Platform Distribution. Author’s note: This review contains spoilers. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss.

I’ll just come out and say it: I love trains. Needless to say, growing up with such an interest, I was the victim of a great deal of bullying. At school, other kids shouted “choo-choo” when they saw me, called me Thomas the Tank Engine (and many worse names), made up nonexistent types of train and asked if I liked them, relentlessly pressed me on why I found “a box on wheels” interesting, and so on.
