    Trailer for Season 3 is up; Russian bad-guys threatening the world with nukes you say? Ahem.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Russians are the bad guys again.


    I'm waiting for the great movies and TV shows that show how Russia and China quietly infiltrated the Republian party and the Tory party and ended up being the real winners of the Cold War by controlling energy and technology and quiety enough bought two of the major parties in the Western World.

    Edit: Robert & Michelle King I'm looking at you!

    Oh sorry this isn't Current Affairs/IMHO.

    Back to TV entertainment.

    3 episodes in and its a definite improvement on season 2



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,473 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    yeah I've only 3 episodes left, loving it so far. You could easily drop straight into Season 3 without seeing the first 2 and not really miss much

    I find this season better than last, even after two epsidoes, but I still think Krasinski is one of the worst depictions of Jack Ryan, even worse than Affleck or Pine. I think when he was naive at the beginning he was good but now that he is depicting a more experienced agent his lack of range is showing. Hwe is not charismatic at all.

    Season 2 was utter dogshit in fairness so would want to be a big step up to be even worth watching (as it does appear to be from both imdb and rotten tomatoes)




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Acosta


    It's good, but the writing isn't as impressive as the budget. Could be better, but still worth watching.

    That about sums it up yeah. It's OK and if you liked the first two seasons you'll probably like this but it's nothing special. The Czech president was good looking though!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,527 ✭✭✭moby2101


    Check out (Czech out) the Czech premier in Berlin Station if ye haven’t seen it… cracking spy guff from a few years back

    Nina Hoss

    She was in homeland as a recurring character

    Comparing the Russians in this series to their counterparts in the real life Ukraine situation is like comparing chalk and cheese.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,267 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec



    Yes, it was exceptional, and a damn shame that the plug was pulled on it. Perhaps they thought that it was too close to the truth about what might happen?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Acosta


    The roads in Czech Republic sure are quiet.

    Struggling to finish this out.

    The type of story is so overdone-to-death.

    This isn't that much ahead of the really bad 2nd season.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,280 ✭✭✭Spon Farmer


    I enjoyed the first two seasons but 3 is definitely far superior.

    There is several mentions of Ukraine in the story and I assumed that Russia’s presence there was by force as in real life but invading another country doesn’t seem to be something that this Russian president would do - so I assume Ukraine here is an ally - but they should have explained it.

    I expected the knock on Gocharov’s door would be an agent of the conspiracy who had eluded detection and that Luka would be killed. Would I be right in saying that he was being arrested for his previous actions such a a Matoska? Also, there was a flashback where he discovered one of the scientist at home, having called in sick to work but it seemed I thought there was mention that he had been warned but there was nothing more about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,694 ✭✭✭Acosta


    It was really poor. Not sure if there will be more, but I'd say I'm done with it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,473 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Season 3 and 4 were filmed back to back and Season 4 is the final season

    I didn't realise that 4 was the final series, that's a pity as I'm a big fan of the books and they are doing a great job in my opinion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,473 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,473 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Season 3 recap before season 4 starts this Friday with 2 episodes every week




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 613 ✭✭✭tiegan


    Where is season 4 being shown? I have only watched 1 and 2, better binge on 3 before 4 airs! Thanks



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,473 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    The opening 4 episodes to this season have been really good and the story is great.


    I know he pretty much only plays sinister characters days however I always get a kick out of seeing Rat's from the Flat's as the bad guy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    That was a really good final season and a great way to end the series.


    Also leaves it open for a return in a few years if they want it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,473 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    yeah great finish to the series. I think if it does come back, it should just be a movie instead of a another series.

    Decent last series. A big improvement on the last. At least they remembered to hire extras for all the fancy location shoots this time. If the writing was as impressive as the budget, it would have been an excellent show.
