This tense spy thriller show just crashed the Prime Video top 10 — and it's inspired by a '70s classic
Looks like plenty of Prime Video subscribers are getting hooked on a tense spy thriller from the previous decade, as "Condor" has climbed into the streaming service's most-watched list. Similar to 2024's excellent thriller, "The Day of the Jackal," "Condor" is a fresh spin on another classic '70s thriller, "Six Days of the Condor" by James Grady (which was subsequently turned into Sydney Pollack's "Three Days of the Condor" movie, which starred Robert Redford). The series originally premiered on AT&T's Audience Network back in 2018 and was subsequently picked up by Epix (now MGM Plus), with the second season premiering on the streamer in 2021. Both seasons are also available on Prime Video and are proving popular at present. At the time of writing, "Condor" is currently sitting in ninth place in Prime Video's top 10 shows chart. And given that the chart is currently dominated by Prime Video Originals like "Reacher," "The Better Sister" and "The Summer I Turned Pretty," that's pretty impressive for a 7-year-old show. If you're a thriller fan and you happen to be on the hunt for a new show, you can find out a little more info about the series below, and a round-up of what viewers have to say to help you decide whether to stream "Condor" on Prime Video. "Condor" sees us heading along for the ride with Joe Turner (Max Irons), a brilliant low-level CIA analyst who joined the agency with the hope of reforming it from the inside. When Joe stumbles upon a secret plan that threatens the lives of millions, he finds himself in the crosshairs. After narrowly dodging the killers who take out everyone else at his office, Joe ends up on the run, striving to get to the bottom of what's really going in... while dodging assassins and whatever the agency throws at him in the process. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to Irons, "Condor" also stars William Hurt, Sam McCarthy Jr., Leem Lubany, Kristen Hager, Bob Balaban, Brendan Fraser, Mira Sorvino and Katherine Cunningham, among others "Condor" comes reasonably well recommended by viewers. At the time of writing, the first season holds an 87% rating on the review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes, with a slightly lower 79% score on the Popcornmeter. The site's critical consensus reads: "'Condor' never aspires to be a realistic depiction of spy games -- instead, it excels at evoking a uniquely 21st century brand of paranoia with its slick concept and propulsive pacing." Looking for specific reactions? Well, IndieWire's Ben Travers called the show "a smartly expanded adaptation" back in 2018. He wrote that it isn't a "drop everything and subscribe to DirecTV" kind of show, but it is an engaging spy story suitably updated for modern times and slyly incorporating elements of the original film." Vulture critic Matt Zoller Seitz dubbed the show "an honorable effort" (though one lacking some of the thrills of the Redford movie), describing it as "something along the lines of "Homeland" with a touch of Tom Clancy: a workplace drama, essentially, in which bureaucrats, military personnel, analysts, and spies get tangled up in an international conspiracy." Finally, The Washington Post's Hank Stuever spun the series as "quite the little pulse-pounder — the sort of thing '24' fans can eat with a spoon," praising the show's supporting cast for "lift[ing] this story into a taut choice for summer viewing." Having only just checked the show out myself now that it's picked up steam on Prime Video, I wouldn't want to offer a definitive verdict just yet, but as a fan of thrillers of this ilk, I'm certainly intrigued by Joe's plight, and it feels like a show I'd want to make time for. If you enjoy this kind of taut spy thriller, shows where innocent agents are left high and dry and caught in life-or-death situations, you might want to follow in the footsteps of other Prime users and stream "Condor" on Prime Video, too. Already streamed it "Condor," or not sure it's right for you? Check out our round-up of the best shows on Prime Video for tons more top streaming recommendations worthy of a spot on your watchlist.

Passengers stuck on a 32-hour flight with multiple diversions never made it to destination
Passengers stuck on a 32-hour flight with multiple diversions never made it to destination Show Caption Hide Caption Flying etiquette tips: Simple rules for a stress-free air travel experience Master flying etiquette: Key tips for smooth and respectful air travel. A Condor flight from Zurich to Crete experienced multiple diversions and an overnight stay due to severe weather. The flight, initially scheduled for under three hours, ultimately took over 32 hours and returned to Zurich without reaching Crete. A recent Condor flight, which was supposed to take less than three hours, turned into a 32-hour ordeal when poor weather forced multiple diversions, including an overnight stay, according to the Germany-based airline. Even after its extended journey, the flight never reached its final destination. Condor flight DE1234 departed from Zurich, Switzerland, at 6:35 a.m. on May 24 for Heraklion, Crete, in Greece with 137 passengers and six crew members onboard. Typically, the flight time for this route is approximately two and a half hours, but "extreme weather conditions with strong winds" that day restricted the number of take-offs and landings in Crete, Condor spokesperson Johanna Tillmann told USA TODAY in an email statement. "Despite several attempts to land in Heraklion, the flight was unfortunately unable to operate as planned and had to be diverted several times including a night stop in Thessaloniki before finally returning to Zurich," Tillmann continued. What to know: Apple Wallet soon to include passports, but it won't be valid for this type of travel The aircraft made several attempts to land in Crete, but was diverted to other Greek airports. According to FlightAware, the flight flew to Athens before going to the island of Kos, landing at 1:51 p.m. After that, it arrived in Thessaloniki at 5:05 p.m. for an overnight stay. The next day, the flight went to Athens then returned to Zurich at 2:46 p.m. for a total flight time of over 32 hours. The airline said passengers were updated about the flight path via email and text message and given hotel accommodation and grand transport in Thessaloniki. "We sincerely apologize to all affected guests for the inconveniences caused by this," the airline said. "The safety of all guests and crew members is Condor's top priority at all times, as in this case as well." Those who were on the flight are able to reach out to Condor customer service for refund and rebooking options.

Passengers stuck on 32-hour flight ended up back where they started: Reports
The Brief A Condor flight that was headed from Switzerland to Greece made five stops, which included a layover, before ultimately landing back at its starting point. The flight was supposed to last just three hours but instead took 32 hours. During a layover in Thessaloniki, Greece, passengers allegedly had to foot the bill for their own hotel. Flying can sometimes be stressful, but can you imagine being subjected to a 32-hour flight that was actually meant to last just three hours? A Condor flight headed for Heraklion, Crete, in Greece, spent 32 hours in the air before ultimately landing back at the airport from which it started its exhausting journey. Dig deeper Flight DE1234 took off from Zurich, Switzerland, on May 24, and was headed for Greece. There were approximately 137 passengers and six crew members on board. The flight departed about 30 minutes late, according to the New York Post, but other than the delay, the trip appeared to have no other issues, until it came time to land. What they're saying Condor airlines told People magazine that "strong winds" were the culprit that led to the long trip. The pilots attempted to land several times in Crete and even made pit stops, including a layover in Thessaloniki (the second-largest city in Greece), Athens, before ultimately returning to Zurich. Passengers were allegedly only given water and during the layover in Thessaloniki, passengers were reportedly forced to foot the bill for their own accommodations, despite European aviation guidelines that say they are entitled to reimbursement, NYP said. Last June, a British Airways flight that was headed to Houston, Texas, from London, had crossed the entire Atlantic Ocean and was just on the coast of Newfoundland before it turned around and headed back to Heathrow Airport. Passengers and crew had traveled over 4,833 miles at the end of the nine-hour ordeal – and still no closer to their desired destination. The backstory British Airways told FOX Business at the time that the reason they returned was due to a "minor technical issue." "The flight returned to London Heathrow as a precaution due to a minor technical issue," a spokesperson explained. "It landed safely and customers disembarked as normal." "We've apologized to our customers for the disruption to their journey."
