The Window: Episode #1.1 (2022)
Tight, gripping pilot
The pilot revolves around Jordan Burnett (Samuel Jordan, Sex Education ), a 17-year-old promising footballer who plays for Athletic in Great Britain. His brother Kieran (Tommy Bastow, The Crossing ) is his manager and he tries to sell his brother to a big foreign club for a lot of money. However, that is not to the liking of the Korean owner of Athletic, Jae-Yeon Cho (Teo Yoo, Chocolate ), who does not like to see the young striker leave and will do anything for it. The problem is that Jordan does not yet have a professional contract and can therefore freely choose where he goes.
The viewer is already introduced in the first episode to a lot of unsavory practices that are apparently common in the world of football agents. Jordan himself eventually turns out to be the victim of the entire game that is played in the background, judging by the opening scene that takes place in the near future.
Many series use their pilot to introduce the characters to the viewers. The Window does that too, but the series wastes little time to immediately put those characters in the picture. In a short time they manage to present these characters in their full regalia. By this I mean that the character of the respective characters is formed immediately and that one does not keep spinning around the pot for too long.
