    Has the feel of Homeland ...

    ... without the crazy Claire. So far so good. Will keep watching for sure!

    Amazing start

    First of all I would just like to say that the combination of Wendell Pierce and John Krasinski is unreal. Also, it feels so weird seeing John as Jack Ryan and not Jim Halpert but he fills the Jack role perfectly. Overall, the episode was amazing, leaving me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to watch the next episodes!!!!!

    Jim...er Jack Ryan is back!

    The first episode of Tom Clancy'a Jack Ryan is awesome. John Krasinki is a natural at Ryan. He spent 9 seasons of a show behind a desk as his tryout for this show. The action is well done and the stakes are real. Great job Amazon!

    Krasinski is Jack Ryan

    I've been waiting for this since I first heard about a year ago. Will probably binge this within a couple of days. Very engaging direction, script is awesome and the plot is extremely gripping. I've been a big fan of John Krasinski for quite a while, and he did not disappoint. He was made for this role.

    Very promising

    If a pilot episode doesn't grab you then the season is usually lost, thankfully the opening scene puts that aside. The main characters are easily digested and have clear linear back stories which will be processed accordingly and to make it all better a terrific cast and a director who knows storytelling and action. Amazon may be slowly catching up with Netflix at last!!!

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      "PNG" is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "persona non grata" that is used when diplomats and other government workers are expelled from another country. If Greer was "PNG'd back" to the United States, it means he was suddenly deemed unwelcome in Karachi by the Pakistani government.
    • Goofs
      The Coast Guardsman at the party verbally identifies himself as "Petty Officer Second Class Dillard." However, several name tags on his uniform show the name "Harrity."
    • Quotes

      Jack Ryan: I can't go to Yemen.

      James Greer: Why not?

      Jack Ryan: I'm an analyst. I don't interrogate people; I write reports.

      James Greer: Well, that's gonna make a doozy. Get on the fucking plane.
