Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 31, 2018 Looks good. Havent watched it yet but will probably check it out later with my dad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted September 1, 2018 Dude. I was just looking for something to watch before the Mets game. Was going to catch up on Castle Rock (which is good so far. I'm only 2 in) and I got a pop up for this. Totally forgot today was the 31st. I'm going in !!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad GLuckman 518 Posted September 1, 2018 Starring Jim Halpert from the office. Thought he was great in the Benghazi movie. Versatile actor. Will definitely check this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted September 1, 2018 Watched pilot Not sure what, I think read 80% of Jack Ryan novels - this does not seem to fit into any timeline. Not bad story but not JR story. BUNK !!! Good addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good addition So doesnt really follow the JR novels. Kind of its own storyline? Still a good watch (at least so far)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted September 1, 2018 Yes and yes (based on one episode) Awesome. Plan on watching it with dad later on tonight (if there arent any good college games on tonight) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted September 1, 2018 On episode 4. It's good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted September 1, 2018 Now I'm talking to myself. BUT PSA It's ALOT of subtitles and that's starting to wear thin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,083 Posted September 2, 2018 Now I'm talking to myself. BUT PSA It's ALOT of subtitles and that's starting to wear thin. Wife and I watched first episode...was solid. Id rather have subtitles than a cheesy accent. I didnt think the subtitles were bad. Dont like the yellow color but to each his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,653 Posted September 2, 2018 I have subtitles on all the time when I watch tv anyway so it didn't bother me. The first episode was good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted October 3, 2018 Binged in two nights. Really well done IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trumpurethra 42 Posted October 3, 2018 Just finished this the other night and was discussing with some buddies. It was good, certainly better than most of the shows on TV (90% of TV is unwatchable IMO), but not quite great. My theory is it's Krasinski. He's just not as cool as Harrison Ford. Well nobody is lol. But he is not really even close. He will always be Jim from the office. That's who he is. But yeah, solid writing and acting. 7 out of 10 and will watch season 2.

avoiding injuries 1,237 Posted October 3, 2018 I enjoyed it. Quick watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kutulu 1,562 Posted October 3, 2018 Didn't binge it but it's pretty good, have two episodes left. And I get the Jim from the office critique, but I actually thought it would be worse. I mean there are moments where it's like wtf, where's Dwight? But for the most part I thought he pulled it off. They chick who plays the terrorist dude's wife... If that's her in the naked scene... Has a smoking body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted October 3, 2018 Won't post spoilers. I never watched the office so that didn't bother me. Followed a sub on Reddit and man people are ridiculous- complaining about the most minutely small "holes" in the story. Give it up and enjoy it for what it is. And one thing its not ? It's not a mirror image of the books and or movies. I'm Ok with that. It's 2018. I just hope they move on from same ole Arab terrorist theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,711 Posted October 22, 2018 Finished this weekend, solid watch. Enjoyed it and looking forward to new seasons. I thought John K was great, he has pretty good range, he sold the high moral compass angle really well. Side note, I always forget how much I enjoy movies/shows with middle eastern/terrorist plots. I need to watch The Kingdom again sometime, that is a solid middle eastern themed movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shotsup 832 Posted October 23, 2018 I liked it a lot. I get frustrated hearing people bash it for not consistently following the Jack Ryan-verse. It wasn't supposed to. Also petty peeves / holes in the story. Petty. It's a fiction show. Get over yourselves. Great for what it was. Recommended for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted November 9, 2019 Just finished season 2. I thought it was really good. Better than season 1. Great action red blooded American pop drama. Unrealistic as all fock, but quite entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,105 Posted November 9, 2019 The whole second season was completely unnecessary. Spoiler All that old senator had to do was say they were cultivating a 2nd source of tantalum down there and mining equipment was what was in the containers Jack was so worried about. Instead he decides to kill a fellow senator? For what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
