    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.

    Has the feel of Homeland ...

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

    Off and Running

    This type of show is not in my wheelhouse. I know little about what is happening internationally, whether it is cliched, blown out of proportion, or accurate to some degree. We are introduced to Jack Ryan who pretty much analyzes what comes over the internet. His boss is a man who was shamed in a previous position and is trying to revive his career. Ryan notices some financial transactions in Yemen that could lead to another 9/11. He goes over the boss's head and orders an investigation which gets him to the last place he wants to be--Yemen. Once there he gets in the middle of a situation he was not prepared for. He has admirable courage.

    Nicely done

    Pretty good portrayal of the US military (ie they're not superheroes), and how realistic it was. Plot could have used a bit of tidying up, but looks promising!

    Excellent pilot

    Wow what a first episode. Surprising and scary in equal measure. Really nice job Amazon

    • 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.
