On program! Yes, Andor has returned on Disney+ at long last, and while we had to wait a week for our resident Andor superfan James Dyer to get back from holiday before we were all allowed to discuss it, this week's edition of the Pilot TV Podcast is coming in hot with a full review of Season 2. Plus, following on from our review of the final season of You on last week’s Pilot+, star Charlotte Ritchie joins us on this week’s podcast to talk to our very own Boyd Hilton about the Netflix show’s swansong. [29:07 — 47:15 approx.]
Elsewhere, this week's listener question, inspired by Apple TV+'s many shows with therapist characters (Shrinking, Ted Lasso, Your Friends & Neighbours, the list goes on...), has the team considering overrepresented job types on telly and their favourite small screen shrinks. Over on the news front, the team dig into Paapa Essiedu's new Jack Thorne penned Channel 4 drama Falling, the announcement of Heartstopper's feature length final outing, and dispatches from Star Wars Celebration Japan on Darth Maul: Shadow Lord and a new Carlton and Nick Cuse show set in a galaxy far, far away. All that, and the gang still find time for reviews, too, going all French this week with Prime Video ballet drama Étoile and Napoleonic baking/espionage series Carême. And you can watch — yes, watch! — this week's ep of the pod below;
