Condor

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.

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.

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

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!

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. ..
