He’s obviously an analyst that against his will is called into a situation that goes bad

I was nervous on that as well, but they did a good job of it. It’s not like he goes to seal school and is made to be Van Damme.

He’s obviously out of his element and he mentions it.

Loved it. Comparable to 24, way less cheesy though

Revisionist history in episode 1

Supposed to sympathize with the terrorists because we carpet bombed them as kids in the 80s

The US didnt carpet bomb anything in lebanon in the 80s

It was a decent binge on a lazy Friday.

What’s next?

1) they never said it was America
2) we don’t know who he is planning to attack
3) they are giving him a backstory, not asking you to sympathize.

It’s good so far, but plenty of eye roll moments.

Ep 2 ending.. chasing the guy down the street.. just yell for one of the dozens of officers he’s the bleeding, limping bad guy is walking by to grab him.. similar to letting them drive away in ep 1.

Didn’t watch it yet, but I’m guessing it’ll be like a combo of 24 and Homeland.

Anytime they market the shite out of something like this and have delays, it makes me very worried that it’s either too expensive to make or they don’t have the right actor and chemistry for the role.

Jack Ryan is not an action hero. He's an analyst.

Alec Baldwin played it way tougher.

This version of Jack Ryan is haunted by his past, and while he’s capable of killing people, he’s always troubled by it.

I guess he’s the “sensitive” version of Jack Ryan?

Lack of airsupport bothered me in episode one. Yet the drone pilots are all over the terrorists compound.

Yet in all four movies Ryan did bad arse stuff. Remember when he jumped into a storm on the ocean looking for a Sub?
Took.out the IRA or stopped that war with Russia?

Finished episode 4, this show blows.

Only 4 episodes left so I’m going to finish it, but it’s very very cringeworthy
