With the international series The Window we enter the football world. Don't expect to see the game itself because you don't see a single ball rolling in the episode.
Jordan Burdett turns out to be the victim of the *real* game that is played in the background, as witnessed by the opening scene that takes place in the near future.
Everything revolves around Jordan (Samuel Jordan, Sex Education ), a seventeen-year-old promising footballer who plays for Athletic in the fictional ESL. His brother Kieran (Tommy Bastow, The Crossing ) is his manager and he tries to sell his brother to a big foreign club for a lot of money. However, that is not to the liking of Athletic's Korean owner, Jae-Yeon Cho (Teo Yoo, Chocolate ), who does not like to see the young striker leave and will do anything to prevent it. The problem is that Jordan does not yet have a professional contract and is therefore free to choose where he goes.
The viewer is therefore already introduced in the first episode to a lot of unsavory practices that are apparently common in the world of football brokers.
Many series use their pilot to introduce the characters to the viewers. The Window also does that, but the series wastes little time to immediately put those characters in the picture in detail. In a short time they succeed in presenting a large ensemble cast in their full regalia.
The pilot also immediately provides a good portion of action, both with underhand machinations and straight-up violence. It therefore quickly becomes clear that there is a considerable game of tug-of-war in the making to bring in Jordan Burnett. Whether there will be winners at the end of the story is doubtful judging by The Window 's intro. But we can be sure that it will be a captivating journey.
