Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan follows an up-and-coming CIA analyst thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time. The series follows Ryan as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.

Dobber Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Really excited for this. Krasinski totally surprised/impressed me in '13 Hours'. Chris Edited October 18, 2017 by Dobber Quote
no3Ljm Posted September 24, 2018 Author Posted September 24, 2018 Finished it over this weekend. I love it. It's like I watched an 8 hour long movie. Here's my only gripe. Beware that it might contain some spoiler. So click the tag at your own risk. Reveal hidden contents They've spent too much time setting up the bad guy's character in every episode to understand where he's from, and why he became like that only to be eliminated fast in the last episode. But overall, it was great. Quote

IF I wanted to watch a movie/story about a UAV operator wrestling with the impact of his job I would watch Good Kill again. Quote

If I forget about it, it means that there's no significance why they bothered adding him to the storyline. All the while I thought there will be a big impact on the story about him. Quote
Wolf-1 Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 I viewed the drone pilot as them introducing us to part of the duo that Ryan always uses in the books; of course this is after he is CIA head honcho, and then POTUS. I've only read the one book dealing with J. Ryan and he isn't actually in the book, but his dad is trying to track down a murderer in D.C. area; who eventually turns out to become part of Ryan's Dynamic Duo. In the book, the character in question was a Vietnam Vet who then did Underwater Demo before "going off the deep end". Don't know the backstory to the other part of the Duo used in the Ryan verse.

technoblue Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Avoiding spoilers, as I'm still working my way through the series but I really like what I've seen so far. Happy to see that Paramount is also thinking of doing a John Clark film series. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted September 24, 2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Really enjoyed this as well, and while I couldn't help but be reminded of Jack Bauer's 24, Jack Ryan managed to avoid falling into the more annoying tropes of 24. Would definitely check out any follow-up seasons. -b. Quote

eXis10z Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks for the recommendation! Breezed through half the series last night. Wasn't expecting it to be that nice. Quote
