The final season of Andor, written by Tony Gilroy, strips away the fantasy elements of Star Wars to present a gripping narrative focused on resistance against authoritarianism. Offering a mix of serious drama and subtle comedy, it showcases characters committed to the fight for freedom. In contrast, Race Across the World features participants unpredictably navigating a 14,000km journey, emphasizing personal growth through challenges. Additionally, 999: The Critical List highlights the strain on the NHS, providing a raw look at healthcare pressures and the tough choices faced by medical staff.
Under the hard-nosed stewardship of writer Tony Gilroy, Andor bins the magic and myth and replaces them with the reality of anti-fascist struggle, where the good guys are ready to risk their lives for freedom.
It is rare that doctors are shown swearing in frustration, even in documentaries more tightly focused on the problems in the NHS than this one. But there are many such moments here, as the number of equally critically ill patients demands the kind of decision-making no human should have to make as part of a standard working day.
