Jack Ryan (2018)
Season 2 - Great Action, Poor Writing
First, I was a fan of the original Tom Clancy Jack Ryan but I'm open to updating and reimagining and thought season 1 was tight with great writing, an original story line of the making of a terrorist, and excellent characterization and action. What the heck happened to season 2? It's like the writer room watched "A Clear and Present Danger" and "Moon Over Parador" and decided to do a mash up. The action is the only saving grace. I won't be a spoiler but knew who the real bad guy was in the second episode from the clumsy "foreshadowing" dialog. I hope they get some new writers for the third season. John Krasinski looks baffled in most of the episodes so I'm guessing he's with me on this one.
Unapologetic with Aisha Tyler (2018)
This isn't Talking Dead. That's a good thing.
At first I wasn't sure what to think because I came to the show thinking it was going to be like Talking Dead. This is not a fan geek out but after watching all the episodes, I'm so glad it isn't. Dietland is much more than a typical scripted drama and deserves a follow up show like this one. The topics Dietland deal with are so important that I'm glad Aisha and the crew are delving more deeply into them in each episode. And it does have a fun side with Aisha's sense of humor while dealing with serious issues. Brava! BTW, a lot of the negative reviews here are men. Don't have to wonder what that's about.
