Season 1 of this just dropped on Amazon Prime and I've been binge watching. I loved early Tom Clancy and this has a similar feel to the first Jack Ryan books. One big story arc over 8 episodes allows it to get into the details and doesn't feel too stretched like the later series of 24 did.
Thumbs up from me.
Kept falling asleep about 2/3rds of the way into the first episode and had to keep going back 10mins to catch up then repeat. Eventually gave in and went to bed. Will give it another shot tonight, it was looking good but I was far too tired to keep awake!
Thanks for the heads up - might have a look tonight.
Intended to watch first episode to see if it was worth it. Ended up binge watching the first 5, really enjoying it
Only the last ep to go now! Really enjoying it! Refreshing to have an Everyman hero who’s a bit shit at fighting rather than the usual ass-kicking action hero/super hero type. It is classic Jack Ryan though, chuckled at the “Boy Scout” line which they shoehorned in early doors!
Just watching the last episode now.
Can't take John krasinski's face seriously, he looks like Nick Park designed him
Good series though and Wendell pierce is great as Jim greer
Watched the first episode. Thought the shoot out was a bit pathetic as the US couldn't hit the side of a barn door. Give the other episodes a try later.

Yes 100% 🤣
The weird thing for me is he reminds me facially of Martin Freeman with some of his expressions and he was in the US version of the office...
2 episodes in, good so far.
Needs more James Earl Jones, though.

Do fairly realistic shoot outs then!!
Enjoying it,
If you hated the shoot out then their bio security is probably not enough.
Glad they at least tried to show 2 sides and reasoning behind a conflict but as always resorted tot he US side too quick, there is a lot we will deal with in history from this time period.
On the light entertainment side plenty of Jack Ryan jokes in there
Is Mr Clark in it?
Needs more James Earl Jones, though.
That's what I thought, too, except that the voice wasn't right. The actor is Ron Canada.
not to mention that JEJ is almost 90!
Is Mr Clark in it?
Not seen him yet. Maybe next season.
There is a very scary special ops guy that could be him except he's too close to "Ryan's" age.
Thats not James Earl Jones - it is the guy who was in The Wire.
I am enjoying it so far - apart from the obvs Middle Aged Bloke writes a book as he wished his life was. As evidenced by the fact that the female love interest is younger, smarter, richer and way better looking than the main character.
Good call about Clark.
They should go and make Rainbow Six into a series.

There's a guy that looks a bit like JEJ - one of the CIA directors at the front of the table, Ron Canada
But you're right, Bunk Moreland has had quite the promotion 🙂
