Andor’s second season is a different beast—and an absolute feast of real-world parallels.
In “Sagrona Teema,” (Andor S2, E2), the differences between Andor’s seasons become clear: Season 2 is faster, more mysterious, and altogether more oblique. But the parallels to life in 2025 have become even more clear. In our recap this week, we draw the lines connecting Andor to ICE deportations, leftist infighting, and issues of consent.
On a happier note, we’re giving a Chandrilan toast to the return of Syril and the hard launch of Sedra (is that their couple name??).
