So we just saw Andor episode 8, and I’m quite blown away.
It evolves from what seemed like a superficially subversive show to essentially a revolution manifesto. There’s the arbitrary police repression, corruption throughout the layers of hierarchy, the displacement/genocide of entire peoples and destruction of ecosystems for access to resources… In episode 8 there’s left-infighting, the complete oppression of workers, the figure of the foreman -using the workforce to police itself, through granting of privileges and performance goals,… McCarthyism, slavery, wage theft, genocide… there’s all of it. It really is a thinly veiled history of the USA.
In fact I am surprised this got produced at all, I’ll have to read who’s behind it.
If i remember correctly. The writers included multiple historians that specialized in revolutions of history. That is why the show felt so real. It was an amalgamation or real revolutions here.
