Jack Ryan: Cargo (2019)
Episode one not apolitical
It's a great character and building on a good story but of course everything is a chance to insert political views anymore. The suggestion that Venezuela is suffering economic downturn is realistic and makes the story seam real. The suggestion that it's a right wing president at fault for the downturn is laughable and really shows bias, especially since it has been a socialist country for over a decade. Doubling down they introduced an opposing candidate for Venezuela president that is a social justice female. It's so obvious it's distracting and insulting. The writers did a terrific job in the first season of leaving the political leanings of the main "good guy" characters unknown which gave the story a really wide appeal. Not this time. I'll give it one more episode but if it's still sending some thinly veiled political message I'll stop watching. Get enough of that BS on network and cable TV already, I don't care for any more of it.
