    Jack's many expressions

    Why so many shots of Jack's face as he reacts to what is happening around him? Is this to showcase his acting skills?

    Keeps the Thrills Coming

    Jack Ryan's second episode, "French Connection," builds upon the foundation of the series premiere. The stakes are raised as Jack and Greer venture into new territory, following a lead that takes them further into the heart of the conspiracy.

    The episode skillfully balances tense action sequences with moments of character development, offering a deeper understanding of both the protagonists and antagonists. John Krasinski continues to deliver a compelling performance as Jack, and the supporting cast remains strong.

    "French Connection" keeps you on the edge of your seat with its fast-paced plot and suspenseful twists. While some elements may feel familiar, the overall execution and engaging performances make it a satisfying watch. I'm giving it an 8/10 and can't wait to see where the story goes next.

    A mockery of the incompetence of French police

    It is impractical that police didin't control every exits of the building, not to mention drove so many police cars for an undercover movement.

    It is impossible that the police shot the girl who was holding the bomb switch.

    I don't know why France still allow them to shoot.

    Lazy show runners

    While in France all of the armed law enforcement have POLICE on their backs. In France police are essentially meter maids. They mostly write parking tickets and are not armed. The armed law enforcement are the Gendarmarie and are labeled as such.

    • Trivia
      Fans of the Jack Ryan book series may recall that Jack was hesitant to accept pain medication after he was hospitalized in the novel 'Patriot Games.' In the book, Jack implies that he is fearful of developing a dependency on prescription drugs because he's experienced difficulty tapering off before. The continuity of this character detail is maintained in Episode 102, when Jack refuses the doctor's Hydrocodone prescription after an MRI exposes the old and new damage to his lower back.
    • Goofs
      The MRI that Ryan's doctor is examining/interpreting is actually from a 55 year old female. The screws seen (which are not properly placed) are fusing the L3 and L4 vertebrae, not L4 and L5 as stated. The doctor would also not be looking at an image with so many scratches or marks on it.
