Condor season 17/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Unfortunately (for Deacon), the captor is also attending. That in his disguise as a devout Muslim attending the Hajj, he’s taken the name of his captor as his pseudonym is no small thing. Kinetically qualified? WTF? Even the bad guys are just so cliched, incompetent, and psychopathic they lack any style or substance whatsoever. He was held with European prisoners and ultimately forced to fight to the death for his freedom. The dialogue is atrocious- everybody says Joe Turner isn't "kinetically qualified" to escape a very awkward assassination attempt, and the main character has even less personality than in the movie version. Here, everything is spoon fed in advance, and its so silly that you can't help but laugh at the absurdities as to why. Metacritic TV Reviews, Condor - Season 1, Based on James Gradys novel Six Days of the Condor and the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor, CIA analyst Joe. The reason why the movie version was so compelling was because he had no idea why he was being hunted, and the audience went along his journey to find out why. In this iteration there is no mystery- the bad guys are revealed within the first episode and everything's been dumbed down.

I loved it and honestly, I am frustrated that more people won’t see it due to availability. Much care and attention was put into modernizing this tale and still being faithful to the original. Going into watching Condor I knew I was going to hate this if done wrong or love it if done right. I first saw the film when I was in college in the early 2000’s and I was shocked about how relevant it still was. The film Three Days of the Condor is one of my favorite movies. With only three episodes provided I am expecting many more twists and turns to come, but the best rule of thumb is the classic X-files saying “Trust no one.” It isn’t turn off your brain dumb, but it isn’t gritty realism either. There are endless conspiracies and the villains are a bit on the nose. The realism (or lack thereof) is about on par with 24. Other standout performances are by William Hurt, Bob Balaban and Mira Sorvino as characters that may or may not be on Joe Turner’s side. He finds a way to be a dark disgusting villain but still somehow seem likable. After being gone for years his role in Trust and here are both fantastic acting. Max Irons does a great job with the role, is likable and you will definitely be rooting for him.īrendan Fraser is the primary villain and he is just tremendous in this role. ET Actress Lana Condor has been making a name for herself in. When his station is attacked he is blamed and is on the run for good. Unbeknownst to him his program has been use for good, or possibly evil. Joe has created a computer program that helps identify terrorists prior to them committing heinous acts. In the pilot he is shown running over and over again (I wonder if that will come in handy!). The main character Joe Turner is played by Max Irons who is most well known for being in The White Queen and being Jeremy Irons son. In other words, do you like Bourne movies? Do you like Shooter? Did you like Enemy of the State with Big Willie Style? If yes, then you will definitely enjoy this as well. A well-trained guy ends up in deep water with, good guys, bad guys, government etc and has to run and stay afloat while finding allies along the way. If twitter were around in the 70’s a popular joke may have been “dude lost 3 days in the adaptation.” The premise is one you have seen over and over at this point. I hope that at some point this is made available on a platform that more people have access to because it is very good.Ĭondor is based on the movie Three days of the Condor, which was based on the book Six Days of the Condor written by James Grady. In the peak TV era more and more, specialized services are appearing that have a limited scope audience and it is a shame that with all the care and effort was put into this show that it won’t be seen by the masses.
