I noped out of GOT after S1 and whenever I checked back in during later seasons, nothing I saw made me what to keep watching. By contrast, I love Andor and IMO it is a very different show from GOT. I would never even think to compare the two.

I strongly disagree with your take that Andor is nihilistic. IMO that's a pretty substantial misunderstanding of the narrative. I also think calling the characters douchebags is an extremely ungenerous perspective. Very few of the characters in Andor are douchebags. Many of them are riddled with extremely human flaws that can be quite unflattering to witness in action, but their motivations feel real and complex, which makes most of them sympathetic to varying degrees. They are often misguided and morally compromised, sometimes cowardly, but almost never wholly unsympathetic. And IMO the narrative does a great job of balancing grim brutality with an underlying tenderness for the humanity of its characters.

If I had to compare it to another show, I might compare it to BSG. I'd rather not, because I don't think the comparison is particularly apt, but BSG is the most similar show I can think of in terms of tone, texture, and some of the themes.

SA - Upon reflection, I'd actually liken Andor to Man In The High Castle more than anything.
