Metro’s review of Andor Season 1

Andor returned to Disney Plus for a second season earlier this year, earning an impressive 97% Rotten Tomatoes score and hailed as the ‘best TV series of 2025’ by critics.

The first season is now available to stream on ITVX for a limited time, and Metro‘s TV editor Sabrina Barr previously gave it five stars.

‘For the past 12 episodes, Andor has gone above and beyond every single expectation, delivering not only one of the best productions in the franchise – filled with tension, clever calculation, political intrigue, fascinating subtext and sob-worthy moments – but also one of the best TV series of the year. Hands down.

‘The season finale delivered a fitting end for what’s been a truly sensational journey, one that will stay with us for a very long time.’

'Mr Bates vs the Post Office' TV Show, Series 1, Episode 4 UK - 04 Jan 2024 Mr Bates vs the Post Office, is a British ITV four part drama which tells the true story of of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. Hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud, and false accounting due to a defective IT system. Many of the wronged workers were prosecuted, some were imprisoned for crimes they never committed, and their lives were irreparably damaged by the scandal.

Which ITV shows are on Disney Plus today?

The new agreement builds on an existing relationship between the two platforms, with ITV already the free-to-air home of Disney Plus’ Renegade Nell and the producer of hit show Rivals.

Kevin Lygo, managing director of media and entertainment at ITV said: ‘For us, this deal means even more great content for viewers on ITVX, and even more opportunity for viewers to find and enjoy our distinctive titles and services.’

The move is part of a wider trend of collaboration between streamers and international broadcasters, in what has become a crowded field with the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and the BBC’s iPlayer to name a few.

Just last month, Netflix announced an agreement that gives subscribers in France direct access to TF1 channels via the streamer.

Speaking to Broadcast, Disney Plus EMEA general manager Karl Holmes explained the mutual benefits of the content swap with ITV.

He said: ‘ITVX skews relatively old, and our heartland is under-55s. One of the challenges we have is that our brands are strong, but if you’re older you think that Disney’s about family and kids.

‘At the same time, we get some of the UK’s biggest shows to put in front of our audiences – which are less exposed to traditional free-to-air content. That’s great for engagement.’

Homes added: ‘We would expect Disney+ to grow and have more subscribers as a consequence. We would also expect ITVX to be more successful.’

ITVX is free to watch in the UK, while ITVX Premium is available for viewers to watch ad-free for £5.99 per month. Disney Plus subscriptions start at £4.99 per month with ads.
