Love the books (the earlier ones in particular) but have no idea what that's about based on the trailer! Not great marketing anyway.

Mr E · 25-09-2017 5:14pm

Good trailer to be fair.

Not sure about the lead but Bunk is in it so I might give it a watch.

A Rainn Willson cameo in the CIA office would be nice

Slydice · 05-02-2018 3:48am

My interest is... interested:

Think I saw James Earl Jones there in the first trailer which is a nice touch as he was the original Admiral James Greer in the movies

California Dreamer · 05-02-2018 3:30pm

Nice to see Wendell Pierce's stock rising over the last few years.

Agent Coulson · 24-04-2018 6:23pm

Renewed for a 2nd season three months before season 1 is to air.

Slydice · 24-04-2018 6:39pm

Shockingly just after John Krasinski makes over 1000% on A Quiet Place

Agent Coulson · 11-06-2018 11:28pm

New Trailer.

Agent Coulson · 05-07-2018 3:17pm

4th of July teaser.

stormthecastle · 09-07-2018 2:43pm

I'd renew it after the trailer alone to be honest

JP Liz V1 · 02-08-2018 10:17pm

Michael Kelly joins as a series regular for Season 2

Slydice · 03-08-2018 2:03am

Kinda need to see season 1

ah ffs, these are the longest coming shows, why am I following this.

Marcusm · 06-08-2018 7:22pm

Am I right in thinking this has only the slimmest connection to the Tom Clancy books? The character seems to be more an amalgam of Ryan and Kelly/Clark rather than any type of faithful character. I’d prefer to see a Clark branded series or a movie version of Without remorse.

stormthecastle · 08-08-2018 9:14am

Looks like they are following the movie Ryan.

Agent Coulson · 30-08-2018 8:30am

Drops tomorrow and is 8 episodes long.

Clareman · 30-08-2018 10:08am

That's my weekend sorted then

marklazarcovic · 31-08-2018 6:07pm

Half way through it ... It's quite good

Clareman · 31-08-2018 6:41pm

Managed to watch 1 episode before the kids arrived, would it be bad form to dose them in Calpol so I can get to the second episode straight away? I forgot what a big fan of the books I was, every character is almost perfect to the book, once I get Robert Zane out of my head that is.

Slydice · 31-08-2018 9:46pm

Episode 1 was good!

fmul9798 · 31-08-2018 11:52pm

Long time since I read the books, and loved the movies (well, Ford and Baldwin..). After episode 1 and 2 I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Now I'll stay away from this thread to avoid inevitable spoilers as it could be a while before I get to see more.

marklazarcovic · 01-09-2018 5:49am

Binged it last ngt.. very good first season, missed a trick near the end where it could have been superb ..still,a worthy show to follow

Mister Gooey · 01-09-2018 8:19am

And in Dolby Vision! First 2 episodes, very good.

Clareman · 01-09-2018 2:06pm

What an excellent first season, not overly impressed with wrapping up the whole storyarc in 1 season but I guess it has to be done in today's TV. 1 bug bear of mine is Suliman's backstory, ok he's French but how did he get the money to setup the compound and the 9 million to fund stuff and what was he doing on the road out of Iraq after the war?

expectationlost · 01-09-2018 8:57pm

this is ridiculous, mr perfect, who all the women are after,

finds the guy so easily.

...switches from I'm an analyst to Im a marine, so many cliches and stupid decisions and terrible dialogue. (just finished watching ep 2), but I'll binge it all.

could probably have been told in more eps to make it more believable and less rushed.

Slydice · 01-09-2018 9:04pm

Episode 2: I say.. This Jack Ryan fellow.. he sure does seem to catch a lot of breaks.

Agent Coulson · 01-09-2018 10:18pm

Abbie Cornish is damm cute.

expectationlost · 02-09-2018 12:26am

ep 3

ah yes this is what US armed drones are for saving women from rapist with bad teeth, how hes even allowed to do that and then gets away with it wtf?

satguy · 02-09-2018 12:39am

I really enjoyed that,, Did a straight 8 episode binge (with beer).

How long till S2 lands,, (Will get some beer in) ..

ElNino · 02-09-2018 3:28am

Just finished watching all episodes and I really enjoyed it. I read all the Jack Ryan Sr books as they came out and I think Tom Clancy would be proud that the script did them justice.

Season 2 is already filming so I would guess it should be released a a couple of months earlier in the year than August next year. Apparently the villain is a South American dictator.

Heckler · 02-09-2018 11:12am

It was good. Nothing amazing. Some serious holes here and there.

I like John Krasinski and Wendall Pierce.

Too many Mike Hammer getting shot/stabbed/slashed but carrying on moments. And no-one blinks an eye at a man running around the metro with a gun until he fires a shot in the air :rolleyes:

marklazarcovic · 02-09-2018 12:12pm

The whole 'hostages are the weapon' could have been brilliant..but it was so rushed it ruined it,just for a change let the president/vice p/main target actually die...it's boring knowing good ol Mr President is too important for that.

In fairness, having watched four episodes, I think alcohol is definitely required to blur some of the more ludicrous aspects of the story. The drone ffs!

And he's getting it on with the doc and she fails to notice a bleeding stab wound? :eek:

Suzyq · 02-09-2018 12:52pm

Looking forward to this, just need everyone to head out so I can watch it in peace.

Mr E · 02-09-2018 5:45pm

Enjoying this a lot. I've just passed the half way point.

Reviews are praising the Middle Eastern parts for making Suleiman a three dimensional character, but I find those bits boring and I wish they weren't in it.

Krasinski, Pierce and Cornish are all great.

biggebruv · 02-09-2018 6:38pm

On the finale now how the F did the terrorist guy get back into the states that's absolutely ridiculous no?

Surely his picture would be sent out to every airport entrance to US for whoever's at the gates for inspection

That was ridiculous. Imagine Bin Laden rocking up to a border patrol officer back in the day. The writers should have been a little more creative with how he gets into the country.

Also, surely all the hostages would have thorough medical exams after being brought back to America.

I also though the "I will buy all your eggs" scene was a bit cheesy. I think it would have been better and more realistic if the father just completely rejected the drone guy's apology.

So, it did go a little crazy in the end but overall I enjoyed it, John Krasinski and Wendell Pierce were a good team, and I'm looking forward to the second season especially as Noomi Rapace is it in.

02-09-2018 8:47pm

pretty cheesy and ridiculous but good standard vege fare overall.

plot reminded me of the plot of the book "I am pilgrim" in some ways.

(good book if you haven't read it)

biggebruv · 02-09-2018 9:10pm

Yeah finished it John krasinski was pretty good in the role but the story in the last episode just fell apart the action was pretty good but it didn't wow me like I thought it would the reviews overhyped the action scenes for me by saying it matched big blockbusters no it didn't imo maybe one action moment in one of the early episode's but that was it.

He had changed his look from all the videos and had travelled via Canada on a private jet with a sick child, great cover IMO

the french police are idiots!

It’s not real.

(Fair amount of spoilers in this thread btw)

Which is why it says **Spoilers** in the thread title.

Although the acting was good and the Middle East scenes were well done it stretched credulity too many times to be convincing.

Slydice · 03-09-2018 7:26pm

3: The immersion is a bit lowered when they go to the Yemen/Syria scenes and the countries don't have the look of being in huge civil wars. I'm unsure if it's Lebanon though.

Sudden Valley · 04-09-2018 1:07am

For a first season it was okay. Krasinkis is likeable but his character as written is very bland- at least a better Jack Ryan than Affleck or Chris Pike. As regards spy dramas I still think Homeland, Berlin station and Condor are better.
