I finished re-watching S1 of Andor just before I could watch the season premiere. It is still so good, especially the prison episodes are amazing television. I'm slightly obsessed with the show at the moment.
The first three episodes of S2 were great and covered a lot of ground. I'm not sure how I feel about Cassian's story, it seemed to go on for a bit too long, but it gave us an interesting look into where the rebellion is at this moment. Apparently, the batches of three episodes released each week will always be one arc, so next week we should get something completely different again. I can't wait to see how this season feeds directly into Rogue One which I will be re-watching once the season is over! I've always loved the movie, but the show+movie has the potential to be my favorite Star Wars thing ever (sorry, Mando).

Speaking of amazing television, I take back what I said about the season premiere of The Last of Us. I'd like to have "slightly disappointed and annoyed" back, please. I was not okay after watching that. It's not just the THING, everything in this episode was a lot but so well done. Despite the fact that I was spoiled, it did not diminish the emotional impact of the whole episode.

The latest episode of The Studio was great. The episode made a great point about the arts vs. sciences. I feel like they could have also made a similar episode about the use of AI.

The latest The Handmaid's Tale's episode was June doing June things. Last week it was already obvious what she would try to do. I'm looking forward to what will happen with Lawrence though.

Ahh, that's good to know, thank you! I'm on the fence about watching season 2 (because I got upset about the ending of season 1), so I semi-deliberately spoiled myself, but I'm generally someone who dislikes spoilers immensely.

I was pretty much spoiled as soon as S1 was over. I'm not a fan of spoilers, but if it's an adaptation of book, game, or a remake, I'm not too mad.
