The reason I liked Andor was that it portrays the revolutionaries (Luthen, his assistant, and later Andor himself) as understanding that they need to do the "bad stuff" to achieve results. They are not burdened by idealistic notions of a utopian and pure fight of good vs evil. There's a scene where Luthen monologues that he sacrificed his soul to the cause. That he is trying to bring about a sunrise he will never be able to enjoy.

Liberal media usually use the arc of the gruff vengeful revolutionary softening towards the end, as they are faced with fateful choices, and not having the courage to go through with it. Andor reverses this arc and I think it's better for it.

I have not seen Andor, but sounds like a refreshing portrayal worth a watch some time.
