    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.

    Paper thin characters acting in service of a paper thin plot. The writing is definitely geared towards the lowest common denominator. ExpectPaper thin characters acting in service of a paper thin plot. The writing is definitely geared towards the lowest common denominator. Expect to get smacked in the face by every plot point while characters explain everything to you. Character motivated plot is a lost art. It is hard to suspend disbelief to get invested in the plot because of inconsistencies in character driven decisions, a paper thin plot and a very noticeable departure from realism in the violence and espionage. It is hard to make a gritty political thriller with cartoonish action - there is no tension or the feeling of the massive stakes. Nuance, fulfilling action sequences, realism, and grounded commentary are all sorely missed. As it is, I found it mindless and unentertaining. This is mediocre to poor entertainment and you could honestly pass. You could probably watch it in the background while watching another show you care about and get all the plot points.… Full Review »

    Amazing improvement on season 2, this may be the best of them yet. It certainly has some of the best episodes of the series in it. KrasinskiAmazing improvement on season 2, this may be the best of them yet. It certainly has some of the best episodes of the series in it. Krasinski kills in this role. He imbues the role with depth - very much congruent to the books. The whole cast is great. Action is also top notch. Can't wait for the next season.… Full Review »
