"Condor" on Apple TV (WARNING ... spoilers)

[Lionel Mandrake]

In season 1 a heroic analyst in the CIA foils a plot to infect millions of Muslims at the Hajj. The plot was perpetrated by others in the CIA, who also hired an evil hit-woman to murder various people on US soil. Season 2 emphasizes the benefits of cigarette smoking while continuing the killing spree. What's not to like?

1. Well! My dear Lionel Mandrake!

From my perspective, there's plenty not to like!

Infecting millions, infecting others, and my god, smoking!

Where's the meaningful story line? Huh? And the character development?

Just kidding! I hope you enjoyed watching it. Sounds like you did.



On edit: Congrats on your 4100 posts!

2. Condor is on AppleTv? Great! I won't

need to sign up for MGM+ to watch season 2.

I was a little upset by the death of Kathy or Kate, the lawyer, in Season 1.

The whole time I watched, I kept thinking that Max Irons could be the brother of Jensen Ackles.

3. To be more precise ...

Condor is on Apple TV+.

Special characters (like +) weren't allowed in the title of my OP.

7. Movie 🍿 Web 🕸️

Good piece on MovieWeb how Condor is climbing up the charts 📈 on streaming services.

That's the cool thing about streaming. Shows that failed to find an audience or as in this case an entire network (AT&T) that failed to find an audience thrives on the right platform.

Based on a spy thriller classic directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford, Faye Dunaway, Cliff Robertson, and Max von Sydow, which in turn, was based on a 1974 novel by James Grady, Condor is now finding some surprise success on streaming thanks to Amazon, with this tale of a CIA agent on the run clearly offering enough espionage action and intriguing thrills as it enters the streamer’s Top 10

8. The Night Agent and The Diplomat

Movieweb compares Condor to Reacher..

The Diplomat and The Night Agent would be a couple other recommendations for fans of the genre.
