VOD news brings you the week’s best releases on Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+… And like everything that goes up must come down, this week we are descending towards the valley of content in which Andorra, in itself, but also because nothing else makes it a minimum of competition. Although, as always, it’s all a matter of taste, so if you’re not too fancy, keep reading.

Disney+

In total, Disney + continues to headline the section, a few weeks after the introduction of the imperative Pinocchiowith a new series of galaxies: Andorra.

Star Wars: Andor

and whatever Andorra, you ask yourself. Well, it’s about Cassian Andor, the pseudo Han Solo who played Rogue One: A Star Wars Storythough instead of continuing my story… Um!, restores the previous one. Or what is the same, Andorra It is a kind of prequel to the movie, in which something is told about the life of the aforementioned and the vicissitudes that made him join the rebel forces in that galaxy far, far away.

How could it be otherwise, repeats the Mexican Diego Luna in the role of Cassian Andor, who is surrounded by faces more and less familiar than his, see Stellan Skarsgård (Mamma Mia, Chernobyl), Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter, killing eve) or Adria Arjona (6 in the shade, Morbius), among others. A well-rounded cast, as usual, given the level of production that Lucasfilm’s Disney+ series has shown so far. Surprise is in the tone though.

And it is that if until now remarkable The Mandalorianaverage boba fett book and bittersweet Obi-Wan Kenobi – we ignore animated incursions – they moved with known coordinates in the broad sense of the word, Andorra he is different. More mature in tone than usual; but also in a history that equally follows paths somewhat alien to those that characterize the franchise’s canon of space adventures.

Andorra it’s unlike anything you’ve seen in Star Wars so far, and that’s a good thing, because repeating the formula ad nauseam doesn’t seem like the best way to keep the flame alive. On the other hand, of course, sometimes it goes a little too far from what many fans are used to and you even have trouble recognizing the essence of the universe in the series, which is teeming with bugs of all kinds and conditions, Jedi Knights included. It will be a matter of seeing the whole thing in order to judge properly.

Netflix

We continue with the Netflix offer, full of… I save it, but it does not save the related criticism.

DAHMER

DAHMEReither Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is one of the most notable releases of the week on Netflix, a miniseries that recreates the terrifying trajectory of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, the most sinister character of which is brought to life in this recreation, by all accounts, quite correctly, Evan Peters (american horror story, X-Men: Apocalypse). But even they are not saved by another Netflix production focused on morbidity. By the way, this Dahmer was a real Star Wars fan, obsessed with looking like Emperor Palpatine…
