The pilot alone is way better than the Chris Pine movie.
I was hooked as soon as "Safety Dance" started to play.
A pretty strong premiere actually, had a few cliques here and there but nothing too damaging. John bought a lot of personality to the character Jack Ryan. I did find it a little boring whenever it cut to the character in Syria however. But the action was handled pretty well and I'm intrigued enough to keep watching
8/10
I'm hooked!!
I think the show is gonna be really good
Fantastic series premiere! Despite being over an hour long, I didn't get bored once. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of this season, and I hope this show has more seasons.
Good first episode but I take issue with the plot line in Yemen. I didn’t believe there would be such easy access at a blacksite with people coming and going.
Good opening episode with him being left to dry by agency
At the moment it has not started badly, we will continue seeing
This show wasn't "bad", but, seeing John Krasinski play against type casts a huge shadow. Even the people I were watching with mentioned it. Although, it is worth noting he was also playing against type in "A Quiet Place" and that I enjoyed. The sound mix also seemed very poor--- dialog was extremely quiet and then an explosion would be way too loud.
Anyone else getting a silence of the lambs vibe????
I've read most of the Jack Ryan books and this series is doing them justice so far...
I am convinced that the producer or the director are Hannibal Lecter fans... Because I got a serious silence of the lambs vibe near the end... I've read a lot of the Jack Ryan books, and so far this is doing them justice!
Really nicely done this introduction of Jack Ryan to the TV-Landscape. This show definitely looks promising.
Totally has the feel of "The Peacemaker" with George Clooney. Pretty good start.
Whenever I see John Krasinski, I think, boy Martin Freeman ist looking young XD
I liked the acting and how nothing about the episode appeared cheap. It was on par with a high budget movie or even better than most action movies these days. I never felt bored. I've not been to the Middle East but the locations there didn't appear fake, so even if they're not 100% accurate or were filmed elsewhere, that's a plus. What I didn't like was how the creators tried to imply that terrorists have a reasonable explanation for why they do what they do. While it may true in a few cases, it's unimaginable that the whole ISIS or Al Qaeda were comprised of them. There's nothing I know about bin Laden that would make him reasonably vengeful either. Moreover, blowing up buildings like the WTC or beheading American reporters is just nonsensical as a means of paying back for something the government might have done.
Not exactly what I was expecting... but seems a promissing show!
