\"\"The 2018 SXSW Film Festival<\/strong> was off to a great start this year in choosing CIA thriller Condor<\/strong> to be a part of their brilliant episodic programming. <\/p>\n

SXSW<\/strong> is always pushing the envelope in debuting the best new TV series to show to their enthusiastic film audience. Some of which, like myself, have travelled from all corners of the globe to be amongst the first to watch some of the best new television series, sometimes months ahead of their small-screen release. In watching the first two episodes of Condor<\/strong>, I can honestly say that it’s a captivating new show that I’ll be adding to my watch-list once it debuts this summer on June 6th<\/strong> from AT&T Originals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Although the teaser trailer doesn’t reveal too much at this point, let me set the scene for you a little bit. <\/p>\n

Joe Turner<\/strong>, played by the devilishly handsome Brit newcomer Max Irons<\/strong>, works for a secret CIA agency that creates algorithms that help locate terrorists before they commit unspeakable crimes. Whilst struggling with his role in advising the CIA to potential terrorist threats, Joe also has a big conscious which often causes him to question the morality of the people and organisation he works for. Joe is also looking for a decent Tinder date too which brings a bit of humour to his ultra serious job that he can’t even elude to in the slightest on his first dates. <\/p>\n
