That's what I said in my original response. They tried but it didn't work out. Just watch it like they didn't try.

. I made a list of people who recommended this show in that other thread and put them on my incredibly stupid posters list. Bama and Beer, Scooby, udtiger, tigger1, Jimmy2shoes, Miganey, JasonL79 (although I respect your seafood knowledge), Xenophon, Fusaichi Pegasus, RollTide1987, Dave Worth, Hu Flung Pu, lsu777, Boo Krewe, all of you should feel ashamed. Absolutely shameful that, as somewhat literate people, you said positive things about this show and recommended it to others. Your names will forever live on in humiliation on the Arts Board.


I actually wished I had watched this show and recommended it. Being on this list is a badge of honor imo.

I told y’all last year this show pisses all over true Tom Clancy fans and the real Jack Ryan.

I really enjoyed S1, S2 just left rushed and as other said a lot didn't make sense with the character

This show is hilariously bad. Like Walker Texas Ranger or some shite. I stopped posting about it because so many people on this board jerk off to it.

I didn’t understand why they put so much effort into the boat drivers background. It would have made Morse sense to do it with the guy that actually died

Wasn’t the guy that died supposed to be Clark? If so, why would they kill him off?

It was filler.

Just like that stupid drone pilot shite last season.

Because it’s not supposed to be some campy bullshite like that. The show clearly takes itself seriously and wants the viewer to take it seriously, as well.


The writing in season one was lazy. It sounds like it's only gotten worse.

When TC was alive, I was a HUGE Jack Ryan fan. It's pretty clear that the current lineup of books and shows are money grabs by the estate owners.

JR2 on Prime was disappointing, so many plot holes and dead ends

Do you REALLY think the US military would have simply said "Oh you want us to drop you off on the Venezulean Palace roof?" Sure thing buddy... Let's go do that

AND they are rolling through the palace for a good 5 minutes killing everyone with unsilenced weapons yet security doesn't catch wind of it?

How TF do you NOT see a goddamned Blackhawk land on your country's White House?

That part was pretty absurd. They're throwing a big party downstairs, so just land a blackhawk on the roof and start taking out the guards one shot at a time. Yeah, right.

Whatever though, it was still an enjoyable enough binge watch.

Season 2 is a big drop off from S1. About three episodes in I kept wondering when the main storyline would start, and then I realized it was going on and I didn't care about it at all.

I would've rather had some sort of silent assault with some suspense. It's almost as though they were like "HERE COMES THE ACTION!". At least Jim could've double tapped el pres and we could've speculated on how he gets out of it.
