‘Andor’ Season 2 Episodes 4-6 Review: Ever Been to Ghorman?, I Have Friends Everywhere, and What a Festive Evening

In its second week, Andor’s second series has again jumped a year forward, covering a span of mere days in BBY 3. The jump can be disorientating at first, as the cast of characters finds itself in largely new configurations. However, the show is confident enough to hint at what …
