With allies including CIA officer James Greer (the sturdy Wendell Pierce) and ex-spy mercenary Mike November (a wry Michael Kelly) on hand to have his back in an impressive array of European countries, Jack rises above the internal politics to be at ground zero. [2 - 15 Jan 2023, p.7]
-
Jack Ryan has successfully evolved its formula of spycraft and gunfights to accommodate John Krasinski’s brand of charm. In other words, it’s solidly-built, with just enough of everything that a show in this genre requires.
-
If nothing else, the show is a testament to the fact that Krasinski is a bona fide action movie star, an impressive evolution from his days wooing the receptionist on The Office. Jack Ryan has been the perfect vehicle to showcase just that, but that ride might be starting to run out of gas as it nears the finish line.
-
For all the ways the conclusion strives to say something more, it comes far too late. It isn’t that Jack Ryan was ever pulling any punches, more that it just never was actually attempting to swing that hard, to begin with.
