Season 1 Review: What's certain is that Condor, though perhaps a little too conspiracy-laden for its own good and more than a bit heavy-handed in the portrayals of its villains, is a beguiling trip through the wilderness of mirrors that's modern intelligence work. You don't have to believe it; just enjoy it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As the plot lines stretch this way and that and back into the past, the main thread--there is one--can get a little lost. Still, the parts themselves make sense, even when you can’t recall how they fit together. Read full review

Season 1 Review: After a slow start early in the pilot episode, the pace quickens, turning Condor into a taut, violent, compulsively watchable series for fans of “24”-style thrillers. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Joe-and-Kathy relationship in the show is an improvement on the film’s, in both plausibility and tone. ... Condor, rewiring the anxieties of classic paranoid thrillers for contemporary nervous systems, presents every citizen’s sense of isolation as the product of a state overrun with double-dealing.

Season 1 Review: Condor can be a little too blunt--a few of the villains’ lines could use some massaging, especially in romantic scenes--and it hasn’t made any big moves to prove why we need another adaptation, but it has a good handle on the core story. And the story, as we know, is a good one. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The end product lacks a certain verve. ... Condor is an honorable effort, thoughtfully made even when it’s struggling to differentiate itself from similar projects that came before. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The storytelling, here, is workmanlike and efficient. But Joe’s story comes to life too infrequently. ... [Supporting performances] can’t save Condor from a dull leading man and a premise that’s less adapted than retreaded, but they make it much more fun. Read full review

Joe Turner is a perfect leading man - an average joe who just so happens to have a creative mind and an empathic heart. The way he handles the blind date he meant to cancel but forgot illustrates just how good a character Max Irons has embodied. I am a big fan.

Max Irons (Jeremy’s son) plays a CIA analyst whose calculations help thwart a major terrorist act. As a result of his discovery, he becomes the primary suspect in a major incident and has to elude nefarious forces that are out to eliminate him. The first 2 episodes are full of action and tension as the major developments play out. Episode 3 and 4 keep the grip, but rely more on paranoia than action. Still, Irons makes a strong impression as the unintentional action hero, while William Hurt and Brendan Fraser add star power. The subject matter isn’t new, but the taut direction and solid action holds promise for an exciting 21st century spy series (the 2nd season is already shot).… Expand

The first season was good, mostly smart and good watch. The second season, however, has a ridiculously shoehorned Russia plot which doesn't keep with the tenor or theme of the series.

Season 1 is filled with young good looking people. Which is ok. The problem is with the naivety of the main character and the general plot. In the end episodes a young rookie is lecturing and kind of commanding his own superiors? That's ridiculous. The good point is a good and evilSeason 1 is filled with young good looking people. Which is ok. The problem is with the naivety of the main character and the general plot. In the end episodes a young rookie is lecturing and kind of commanding his own superiors? That's ridiculous. The good point is a good and evil 'friendship' plot that develops in the end

Season 2 is pretty boring to be honest as there are not much dualistic characters like the female assassin.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The series builds up a quite exiting spy/suspense drama.I might have given it an eight. But in episode ten the big nemesis the woman who killed all the protagonist's friends and colleagues is knocked out unconscious in the back of the car. He has the gun, and all he has to do, and what anybody would logically do is put a few bullets in her head. But no he walks away so she can keep haunting him and probably kill a lot more people...I wouldn't know because I stopped watching right there. Talking about total crap writing...So yeah a well deserved 0.… Expand
