Condor

I really enjoyed the first season of Condor, it has everything I enjoy in a TV series, action, suspense, plot twists, great acting and character development. If you like spy thrillers then this doesn't disappoint.

Season 2 however is more of a slow burn, there is less action than the first season but more suspense including a few twists and turns, it does however ramp up towards the end of the season and left me feeling satisfied.

I do hope the show is renewed for a third season.

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.

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.

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. ..

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.
