Condor

Excellent old school thriller , good story , good acting , well made , what more do you need !!!!

Surprised...... !

Surprised over the fact that some of the people are still stuck in those action drama that is more of the flare and fantasy world while in this series the whole story sounds genuine rather than complete BS.

Without giving away the story line, just wanna stress here that the story gives 1) a fresh outlook of things with 2) just the right pace and 3) covers every aspect of the waves that any event creates in a persons life.

Acting is decent, suspense in the story keeps it real enough.

This series comes from some seriously BIG production studios thus the stage set up for each action scene and camera work along with editing is just make it worth watching.

Among all the recent action TV Series out there this year, glad to find this one in the shadows.

I believe when it comes to any dramas, I have a great eye for the good series to the incredible dramas.

I am STUNNED by the negative reviews pertaining to season two. While I REALLY feel this series deserves a 9, I cant get past or forgive the writers for being overzealous not substituting the Russians. Yeah sure, some scenes spoken in Russian you can get a feel for with the context surrounding the scene, but with most, you are just watching Telemundo.

However, the reason s1 is a solid 10 is because these same writers, that have wrote respectful series before, wrote the hell out of it resulting in EVERY episode captivating.

It felt so fresh. A new breathe with what we've become accustomed to watching. The characters are written beautifully in this series but the BEST attribute to this shows depth is it's all out for EVERY character being killed etc.

Not many showrunners have the guts that this series does having NO PROBLEM killing off important people that you will care about. All shows that consist of this kind of fearless writing are most likely excellent shows.

The twists and turns, of course but again, a fresh breathe at how they capture and execute everything so flawlessly, more so s1.

S1 is a 10. S2 in all honesty is no where near as bad as people are saying. Sure, everything is subjective but please listen to me and watch this series because you will be lost for three days in a binge attack.

Only problem is unfortunately not a good platform picked this up, despite its wonderful production, audience network sucks ass bc many people, most, do not have access to it bc why would you. Their best series are Kingdom, one of my personal fav series, and Condor.

William Hurt was brilliant as always and Max Irons is a savage and the new modern day Ryan Phillippe. Incredible acting across the board.

This series is amazing please dont miss out!

As a fan of the original movie starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunnaway, I started watching this with some apprehension hoping that the story was not treated too badly like other great movies that have been turned into TV series. Not many TV Shows that are based on movies or books that have been made into movies compare well. So far this does a pretty good job.

This review is written after watching 2 of the 10 episodes of the first season.

Max Irons is no Robert Redford and may never be, but he has done a reasonable job so far. Katherine Cunningham is pretty good and Leem Lubany looks good for her part and I have to assume she has taken the part played by Max von Sydow in the movie.

Much has been changed, but enough is the same to for me to want to see more and I will be watching to see the rest.

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.
