Wild Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I won't get to watch it until later this weekend, but thought we could get up a discussion thread. I'm looking forward to it, although I admit my enthusiasm has waned after waiting for so long after that initial trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Is the whole season up, or are they releasing new episodes every week? I will probably watch it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The whole season is up. 8 episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I feel like they've been advertising this for at least 10 years. I let my Prime expire a couple months ago. I'm sure I'll resub at some point and watch this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0101 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'll be watching this weekend. Season 2 of Ozark is out on Netflix as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Gonna watch at least the first ep tonight. I'm SO behind on these streaming shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just finished two episodes. It's not bad. The bad guys and supporting characters are more interesting than Ryan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on the trailers I've seen: Is it because Jack Ryan is a generic white action hero instead of a behind the scenes fixer with an interesting backstory?

Dre801 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 You get a hint of a backstory early on. Something happened in his past as a soldier that keeps him up at night. So far, Ryan is an analyst who gets reluctantly put out in the field, but don't expect "Jack Bauer." The show tries, but it never rises to anything I'd call great. Not a must watch by any means. Amazon is pushing the hell out of it(season 2 was greenlit long ago). They really need to flesh out their main character though, he being the title character and all. . . .

rc0101 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I am enjoying it so far...think 4 or 5 episodes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 This was OK. Competent genre terrorism, but WAY too many coincidences that weren't necessary to get the scenes they were after. The writers gotta get better at earning their moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre801 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 As some critic stated, "It gets and 'A' for Adequacy." The lead guy is fine, the writers short changed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Three episodes in and I'm enjoying it. After the last couple tries at Jack Ryan, I wasn't particularly optimistic about the chances of this being any good, but it's pretty solid.

Remarkableriots Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 They need to do a John Clark movie or series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
