Front and center for Condor is Max Irons, son of the always great Jeremy Irons, as CIA analyst Joe Turner, a smart and often self-centered guy whose gets unwittingly pulled into a massive behind-the-curtain terrorist plot that not only puts millions of lives at risk, but also has origins within the government itself.
Especially when he gets publicly scapegoated for some very heinous crimes.
And once it becomes lethally clear that the “bad guys” will stop at nothing to get to Joe and his prized information, trust becomes a luxury Joe can no longer afford.
In the early episodes, I can say that it’s indeed the action and story pacing that serve as Condor’s greatest strengths, as it takes some work to warm up to the consistently impressive ensemble cast setting it all in motion.
