    The second season still lands with more dissonance because of the very aspect that should make the character feel more relevant – that is, its proximity to reality. ... The problem may be that Krasinski’s Jack Ryan is closely informed by other actor’s interpretations of the character, namely Harrison Ford’s. Amazon’s “Jack Ryan” still clings to an outdated action movie ethos that relies on a general ignorance about the way the world actually is versus a version of how it ought to be when Michael Bay was redefining action movie bombast.

    If Season 1 wasn’t your bag, there are no significant changes to the series’ DNA here to suddenly turn you around on the series. And while there’s enough good in Jack Ryan Season 2 to keep it from being a complete waste, I do hope the already-ordered third season takes a beat to fine-tune a few key aspects of the show.

The Venezuelan "Nationalist" thinks its a good idea to murder a US Senator as a way to cover up his activities? And since when is Venezuela Nationalist, not Socialist?

    In season 1 we saw that Muslims can only become "radicalized" in response to the US aggression or the European's inherent racism.
    In this one Venezuela is apparently not a Socialist country. While it's plagued by all the evils which its Socialist brought upon Venezuelans in our world, the country is ruled by some abstract dictator and the Leftists are in opposition.

    Season one at least had tension, it was a race against the clock. Here there is nothing and the main story makes no sense.    … Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. S1 had its faults but overall was entertaining. S2 is a big letdown. The plot makes very little sense and is full of holes so big it is difficult to watch. In this era of "peak TV" I guess quantity rules over quality. Oh and what happened to Cathy? She was a big part of S1 and is not even mentioned in S2.… Full Review »
