Review of Condor

Condor (2018–2020)
7/10
Season 1, very good; Season 2, very bad
15 January 2023
Season one is absolutely edge of your seat stuff, really good. It's full of chases and stunts and two equally matched adversaries pitted against each other I would give it a 10.

But Season 2, alas, is diametrically opposite. It is really really boring. Wheras the first season had a global setting, the second season is set in Washington DC suburbia, where the FBI and CIA agents all seem to live at close quarters, with their kids. They come together at barbeque parties, chat about work. It's a cross between Desperate Housewives and The Americans (both excellent series by the way, but their co-breeding produces something awful).

So I would give Season 2 of Condor a 4 and the average scrore works out to 7. I's advise prospective viewers to watch season one and avoid season two. But don't think everyone's going to follow my adice. Season One is so good that watching Season Two (at least the first few episodes) will be hard to resist.
