One is nothing special with a butt shot. One is rather gratuitous because of how they do it and what happens right after. The third is with Jack and Cathy and she's a smoke show so it probably seemed more gratuitous then it really was though you do see her chest. The blood in general is ok, but there are two gruesome scenes with bodies being eviscerated that my wife flinched at. Everything else is nothing out of the ordinary Bourne type movie. You also see Jack in the shower once. Just about all of these are telegraphed so there is no surprise when it happens. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simsarge 433 Posted September 1, 2018 Also, FWIW, F-bombs out the wazoo in the 1st episode. Very good show and excellent production. Had to laugh at the huey tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoknew 6,659 Posted September 3, 2018 I'm in the middle of the fourth episode and I definitely like it. But I do have one complaint - they spend WAY too much time with the terrorists. The focus of the show should be on Jack Ryan and the CIA/French friends. The terrorist storyline just isn't that interesting on its own. No reason to spend so much time with them. That error in storytelling kind of reminds me of why I quit watching Criminal Minds in season 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoknew 6,659 Posted September 3, 2018 Also going from Keira Knightley as Cathy to this one is a significant step down. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My only complaint is that Krasinski is pretty meh acting-wise in this role. He’s not terrible, but he basically had the same blank expression on his face for the entire season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There has only been 1 issue. Someone gets blown up and somehow survives. Doesn’t really matter but other than that a very realistic and solid show.

El Floppo 21,887 Posted September 4, 2018 Huh. I guess I'm the only one finding too much of this poorly written, with eye rolly decisions made. Also agree about casting the inflated office guy being a bit off. Not terrible, and we're still watching, but wish it was better. And disagree with post above complaining about time spent on the terrorists. That's the only interesting part to me- story of what makes normalish people act like monsters. Otherwise it would be an 80s schwrazenegger cartoon with cartoon b/w good and bad guys. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Mammy 587 Posted September 4, 2018 Started last night with the better half. About to start episode 7. I have absolutely no complaints and find it fascinating and extremely well done and acted. We both agreed to rewatch "The Hunt for Red October". I'm also compelled to read some of the Clancy man now, my buddies told me he's a good read but he can be a bit too technical. One guy said he was prepared to build a jet fighter in his garage after reading one of the books. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matttyl 2,408 Posted September 5, 2018 2 episodes in, so far so good. Wasn't sure about John K. as a younger Ryan, and still not. He's still portraying a younger Ryan, though, having just met Cathy in the first episode - so maybe there will be more to come on the character front later on. I'd forgotten that the character went to Boston College - I had thought it was the Naval Academy (apparently that was changed for the film version of Hunt for Red October, and it stuck in my head). Also I did a bit of reading (wiki), and the Ryan franchise is only the 57th highest grossing film franchise. Yeah, there were only 4 films and the newest of them is still 16 years old - but I don't think I can name that many film franchises. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Cow 1,405 Posted September 6, 2018 Having been a hug Clancy fan for most of my life and just started watching this, this feels like it is about as close to the book Jack Ryan and Jason Bourne is to those books, which is to say almost nothing. Not to say it isn't a very enjoyable show, but why even use the name other than brand recognition if you are going to tread so haphazardly over the source material? :getoffmylawn: 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
