Condor

Joe can’t escape his past

● DRAMA /

Jeremy Irons’ son Max is a convincing lead in this returning American spy thriller, based on the classic Robert Redford film Three Days of the Condor. As we rejoin, disaffected former CIA analyst Joe Turner (Irons) has fled to Europe to escape his past, but he’s reluctantly forced back into the field when approached by a Russian double agent who works for his uncle (William Hurt). Stand by for lots more crossand-double-cross in an enjoyably twisted second series that’s more Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy than Homeland. ★★★★ IM
