"The Condemned" is a nice episode of "Mission: Impossible" (1988)....but it's also a retread of an episode first aired in 1968. Several of the early episodes of this series reboot featured old scripts...hoping fans wouldn't notice. Well, because of that, this one loses a point or two for lack of originality.
The show begins with Barney Collier (Greg Morris) is prison in Turkey (it's odd that they used a real country name here). It seems he's been set up and will be executed or remain in prison the rest of his life because he's accused of murder. Naturally Barney didn't do it, so the IM Force needs to help him escape, find out who was behind all this an make sure they're punished and figure out why...why set up Barney??
The episode is fine and enjoyable...just nothing new. So, while it's very nice to see old Barney it's just a sad retread.
