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.

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?

As I have said very often, a series must keep all its episodes in the same quality to be excellent. Here the first 5 episodes are good, then small tumble, damage, too improbable and inconsistencies compared to the beginning of the story where everything seemed to go very well. But the series lets itself be watched anyway, we will still notice the great performance of William Hurt. Max Irons, good there is better but it goes anyway, on the other hand Leem Lubany in cold and expeditionary soulless woman, she was perfect, good the scenario did a little too much with her ... kill everyone at the fine and alone, it is a little too easy and makes the series not very credible in the end, but that will not take away its good performance.

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!
