The Window

ou into the world of football brokers and figuratively the ball does roll. Jordan himself turns out to be the victim of the entire game that is played in the background, judging by the opening scene that takes place in the near future. Everything revolves around Jordan Burnett (Samuel Jordan, Sex Education ), a 17-year-old promising footballer who plays for Athletic in Great Britain. 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 the Chinese owner of Athletic, Jae-Yeon Cho (Teo Yoo, Chocolate ), who does not like to see the young striker leave and will do anything for it. The problem is that Jordan does not yet have a professional contract and can therefore freely choose where he goes.

Many series use their pilot to introduce the characters to the viewers. The Window does that too, but the series wastes little time to immediately put those characters in the picture.

It quickly becomes clear that a big game of tug-of-war is in the works to bring in Jordan Burnett. Whether there will be winners at the end of the story is doubtful judging by the intro to The Window . But we can be sure that it will be a captivating journey. Flemish (and some Dutch) viewers will also see a lot of Flemish actors in The Window .
