REVIEW: Andor – Season 1, Episode 2

Andor’s introductory episode wasn’t bad, promising a departure from the uninspired, clichéd approach to shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett. Can the series continue with this grounded tone and complex moral spectrum?  In “Episode 2,” Timm snoops on Bix...

REVIEW: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – Season 1, Episode 6 “Just Jen”
