‘Andor’ enthusiasts demand awards season recognition for a key supporting player

Andor isn’t just a show about a dangerously sexy Rebel agent who’ll complete the mission at all costs. Over the first seven episodes, it’s expanded the scope outwards to show the inner workings of the Imperial intelligence bureau, Stellan Skarsgård’s shadowy anti-Imperial operations, and — arguably most successfully — the enormous pressure Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma is under.

Prior to Andor, Mon Mothma wasn’t an especially deep character. Now, audiences are beginning to understand how much is at stake for her as she fights against the Empire while dealing with informants in her staff and her own Imperial-sympathizing family. This has led to some incredible scenes, with a highlight being the cocktail party in the recent episode in which she subtly tested whether an old friend could be trusted.
