    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.

    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 »
