Kino does his half by leaping on the comms and letting all the prisoners know the electronics are down, the flooring are chilly, and they should cease working and get out now whereas they’ve the prospect.

General Ideas
We knew that Andor episode 10 could be an enormous one, however we by no means imagined simply how large. Not solely did we witness a really well-done jail break that was each intense and suspenseful, however we obtained a significant reveal that we by no means anticipated. This present has its hits and misses, however episode 10 is definitely the most effective of the season to date. The motion was effectively well worth the wait and despite the fact that we knew it was coming, and knew Cassian would make it out in a single piece, the stakes felt actual.
That was assisted by the feelings and risks his fellow prisoners confronted. We simply hope that Kino finds a strategy to make it residence as effectively.
With simply two episodes within the season left, we hope they hold driving this excessive, and go away followers with one thing to chew on as we watch for season two to begin.
