Condor

Why so many comparisons to the original movie when it's a series ?. condor hooks you in from the start and is unpredictable throughout. Enjoy it for what it is.

Dang I hate when they give a great show a short season then make you wait a long time before it picks up again. This has everything a good thriller needs. I could tell you all the good stuff but I don't want to ruin it for you.

This show was a pleasant surprise. Without knowing the lead, I started watching based on the trailer alone (nice job on the trailer xD) and I just kept watching. Unlike many shows that sacrifice character building for action, or vice versa, this show managed to balance these well. The tension was tight enough to keep me needing to know more, but time was also taken to show that the characters were human, with all the baggage - both good and bad - that goes with that fact. At the end of episode 10 (completed a day after having begun episode 1), all I wanted to know was: How long do I have to wait for season 2?

In the TV Category, I give this a 10 and that's how this show should be rated. This is not some summer blockbuster they spent a 100 million on and it's way better than a lot of the TV shows out there of this genre. Having spent most of 30 years watching all the popular TV shows of the past I feel that the series so far deserves a watch. I put in the 1st episode at the end of the night just to check it out and wound up staying up until 2am watching ep01 and ep02 and yes Brandon Fraiser's acting is a little hard to watch which I don't understand because he used to be a better actor in the past but he doesn't have many parts so we can overlook that.

Some other reviewer wrote: The plot is tedious??? The plot is the same plot that is in every terrorist about to take over the world series on TV and a lot of movies. Nobody CIA analyst discovers a threat to the nation and bad guys want him dead and of course there is already plants in the government that cover up the intel and paint a target on the good guy so that all the police want him too for murders he didn't commit so now he's on the run to save the world. Kinda sounds like Jack Bauer right?

I cant speak for the rest of the episodes until they come out but do yourself a favor and watch the first two and see if your not hooked. If you liked Blacklist, Shooter,The Brave, Seal Team or Taken, you will like this.

Season 1 was great and I couldn't get enough. On episode 4 now season 2 and it's nothing like the first. Soooo sloooow ... They should have kept this as a mini series. ..
