So happy for Dan Gilroy! Andor is probably the best-written Star Wars content since the original trilogy. The character development was just brilliant ✨

While Andor was good, I feel some Indian web series like Sacred Games or Family Man have equally brilliant writing. Hope our creators get international recognition soon!

Great to see writing being recognized! In India we often focus only on stars, but good writing is what makes shows memorable. Andor set a new standard for sure.
