Andor is the best show I have ever watched. Period. It's so well-written and well acted. It's so realistic I forget it's Star Wars. It gets dark, but holy hell it's such an important piece of art. Please watch it even if you don't care about Star Wars. It's worth it
Good example of Americans’ retreat into private, suburban life, where all social interaction must be planned in advance, rather than spontaneous, impromptu. With everyone spread out, it’s less likely you’ll happen upon a friend’s house or just be in the neighborhood, and your friends are probably a 20 minute drive away. So if they happen to be busy when you pop over it’s a huge waste of time. That norm of mandatory planning means schedules have to be aligned, adding a layer of friction that makes frequent association less likely. And a couple free hours that you didn’t expect to have will probably be spent at home in front of the television instead of with friends, because getting together on a whim is such a hassle
