Need to revisit, but I remember it as one of the better classic ones. One of my top 10's.
I fell asleep 2/3rds of the way. Not because I didn't like it. I liked what I saw. It was late lol.

So far. Only started on episode 3 now. I should revisit Hunt For Red October/Patriot Games/Clear & Present Danger, as I remember them being "good" but as a kid they didn't hold my attention. Sum of All Fears and the Jack Ryan movie looked as mediocre as the receptions were, so I didn't have interest.

Plus, for some reason, Jim Halpert is really engaging in the role. Maybe because he does come off as more of an every-man that he was supposed to be, rather than a pretty-baby-doll-eyes like Chris Pine, or Affleck.

That does sound promising. Wife and I are watching Luke Cage season 2 at the minute. Can make this our next watch. I have a soft spot for John Krasinski so worth it then. Red October i love in the Ryan-verse. Think I saw and enjoyed the other two you liked and had the same reaction to the others. Do you think it helps to recall them? Or just because you’re hankering for some more Jack Ryan?

In the commercials, he looks more like Jason Bourne than Jack Ryan, which was a turn off. Ryan is an analyst, not a field agent. Are the commercials misleading?

They have him doing both. He's still stuck in the situations because he's got his "always right" talent rolling. He's even only pulled on the field because of his correct guesswork, at first by surprise but then wants to finish the job.

Bourne never did it for me, at all. Just a block of wood character.
