Andor continues to impress every week by introducing layered examinations into the human spirit. This last arc has dealt with the demoralizing Imperial prison system. The episodes are equal parts horrifying and sobering, as it peels back the curtains on our own prison system.
The character of Kino Loy, played by Andy Serkis, is the unit manager of these inmates; yet he is still a prisoner, himself. Somehow, he’s been convinced that his superior role to keep everyone in line, will reap some kind of reward. Whether it’s a sentence reduction or a tolerable tasting meal, Kino believes that the system works for those who follow it. Cassian works to break his indoctrination, but it’s not until they discover the truth that Kino gets on board with Andor’s idea of a prison escape.
