With allies including CIA officer James Greer (the sturdy Wendell Pierce) and ex-spy mercenary Mike November (a wry Michael Kelly) on hand to have his back in an impressive array of European countries, Jack rises above the internal politics to be at ground zero.

Jack Ryan has successfully evolved its formula of spycraft and gunfights to accommodate John Krasinski’s brand of charm. In other words, it’s solidly-built, with just enough of everything that a show in this genre requires. Read full review

If nothing else, the show is a testament to the fact that Krasinski is a bona fide action movie star, an impressive evolution from his days wooing the receptionist on The Office. Jack Ryan has been the perfect vehicle to showcase just that, but that ride might be starting to run out of gas as it nears the finish line. Read full review

For all the ways the conclusion strives to say something more, it comes far too late. It isn’t that Jack Ryan was ever pulling any punches, more that it just never was actually attempting to swing that hard, to begin with. Read full review

John Krasinski & Wendell Pearce. That's it. that's the review. Theyre so good in these parts, they take a good overall spy show and make it one of the best on the air rn. Highly recommend!!

Superb writing, cinematography and cast make this the best season so far. Very well produced with some great action choreography.

Amazing improvement on season 2, this may be the best of them yet. It certainly has some of the best episodes of the series in it. Krasinski kills in this role. He imbues the role with depth - very much congruent to the books. The whole cast is great. Action is also top notch. Can't wait forAmazing improvement on season 2, this may be the best of them yet.

I liked seasons 1 & 2, not my all time fave but really enjoyed them. Season 3 is just schlock. It's like they filmed a first draft script. Cliches, tropes, exposition, generic bureaucrats, generic bad guys -- and crucially, most characters have no depth and no reason for their decisions. 20 scenes where a grumpy-for-no-reason superior barks "Your intel sounds like nothing more than a hunch, we can't act on that!" Perhaps for this reason, some of the actors come off REALLY badly. (Not to mention the main plot is just not very exciting.)
I went back to watch the first 10 minutes of the pilot, to make sure I wasn't misremembering. I wasn't. It was soooo much better -- driven by character, and each character had specificity.
Look, season 3 still has some good action and stuff so you could do worse, I just honestly couldn't believe how far this fell off a cliff.… Expand

Paper thin characters acting in service of a paper thin plot. The writing is definitely geared towards the lowest common denominator.

It is hard toPaper thin characters acting in service of a paper thin plot. The writing is definitely geared towards the lowest common denominator. Expect to get smacked in the face by every plot point while characters explain everything to you. Character motivated plot is a lost art. It is hard to suspend disbelief to get invested in the plot because of inconsistencies in character driven decisions, a paper thin plot and a very noticeable departure from realism in the violence and espionage. It is hard to make a gritty political thriller with cartoonish action - there is no tension or the feeling of the massive stakes. Nuance, fulfilling action sequences, realism, and grounded commentary are all sorely missed. As it is, I found it mindless and unentertaining. This is mediocre to poor entertainment and you could honestly pass. You could probably watch it in the background while watching another show you care about and get all the plot points.… Expand

What a disappointing mess this is.
For a start if you want to make a geo-political show, it helps if you know the difference in roles of the Czech prime minister & the Czech president. Lazy, inane & pathetic writing rules this series.

As for the direction, there seens to be one rule here, have your lead characters walk around some of Europe's most well known sights while chatting on their phones to give the show some gravitas.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First season was fun, second season was so-so, but the 3rd was is a complete disaster made for morons. I have no clue why it has 73 average score by critics. I guess you cannot really hurt the franchise as a critic any more. So went wrong? I mean president of Czech Rep. has a one body guard, who can just drive away with the head of the state? Are writers really think that Czechia is a somekind of banana republic that this can happen? (Btw. Pprime minister is the head of gov. there, not president!!).

The plot about Czech president going to Moscow to beg for some secret talks with Russian president is the most ludicrous invention under the sun (Vaclav Havel just turn in his grave laughing). I mean, member of NATO and EU, would do that, really? I mean really? You cod not come up with more incomprehensive, idiotic geopolitical scenario..

Do writers really think audience is band of idiots? You could come up with something more plausible in Belarus (knowing their president behavior and relations with Russia), or even Ukraine. But Czech Rep.?

P.s. and the most funny is making Czech president father a Russian. Do you really have no clue about Easter Europe, Russia and Soviet union era? I mean, can you really do movie, and act in such a movie with straight face? Eh...

P.s.2 I opened Metacritic account just to comment on that season - it's sooo infuriatingly dumb.… Expand
