Perhaps you've seen the previous blockbuster films with Jack Ryan being portrayed by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck & Chris Pine? All good efforts but in this made for television series John Krasinski is given room to develop the character and time to put some flesh on the bones. Tom Clancy has been dead for ten years now and while his stories are well written they are outdated as time rolls by. The prospect of the Cold War becoming a hot war has come and gone and the old Soviet Union has been broken up. Not withstanding what Putin is doing in Ukraine, it was time for Jack Ryan to move into the new millennium and with this series he has certainly done that!
With Jason Bourne & the "new" Daniel Craig James Bond the modern day spy or secret agent is alive & well & taking it in at the box office. The advantage of a television series is the extended running time to let the story develop & the characters grow. This series from Amazon Prime is very well written with plenty of plot twists & turns to keep you guessing & leaves you wanting more.
The ensemble cast are excellent & most of the characters have recurring roles throughout the now 4 seasons. There is enough action to keep things fast paced but also enough intrigue to & tension to make you want to binge watch! I blasted through the first series in a couple of days & was thrilled when season 2 was announced almost immediately.
No spoilers here! Just sit back & enjoy the ride. 👍
