Review of Condor

Condor (2018–2020)
7/10
Islamic terrorism is outdated
29 September 2023
I am tired of endless streams of spy/action/military dramas featuring Islamic fundamentalism and Pax Americana ideology of the United States standing against the global threat of Islamic fundamentalism. The producers can't exactly demonize the Muslims, and so there is always a plot twist of deep state conspiracies of the military/industrial complex.

I think that this cliche equation is outdated. Nobody is so concerned about the Muslims taking over the world anymore. The bad guys are the Chinese and the Russians. They have the money, power, and determination to seriously challenge the U. S. hegemony and the Western values. Why aren't they making spy thrillers dealing with this more urgent and sensitive topic?

Does the CIA, Christians In Action, truly exist, waging the modern-day crusade against Islamism? Are they really serious about it? Do they realize that China poses a greater threat to the "American way"?

I hope to see more dramas dealing with the global threat posed by the Chinese.
