Black 22

Episode 3 of "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" is a bold departure from the first two episodes, shifting the focus away from the titular character. While some viewers may find this disappointing, the episode still delivers a captivating storyline that expands the world of the series.

The show delves deeper into the lives of the terrorists, providing insight into their motivations and the intricate network behind their operations. This shift in perspective offers a fresh angle, adding complexity to the narrative and enriching the characters beyond simple villains.

Though Jack Ryan takes a backseat, the action doesn't stop. Tense moments and thrilling sequences keep you on the edge of your seat. The episode expertly balances character development with exciting plot twists, leaving you eager for more.

Overall, while episode 3 may not be what you expect, it's a well-crafted installment that broadens the scope of the series and sets the stage for future developments.

I mean, what's going on with the reviews on this one? I thought it was a rather off the line yet brilliant episode. Sure, it didn't quite go on with the main plot and storyline, but it was an episode with a lot of nuanced emotions and subtle, implicit development on that aspect. I thought the drone pilot story was very interesting, how he was so conflicted with his job and his feelings about it, and when he finally gets to do some evident, apparent good, it somehow still looks like he feels hollowed.

And I love the dinamic that we, the viewers, are familiar with both sides of this story but we get to see a man in Nevada striking down on people all across the ocean and he doesn't really know these people and the ones he saved, for example, will probably never know who was behind the strikes. The abyss between those people yet the entangled nature of this "relation" was very interesting to watch.

Just my two cents, although I can definitely see why and even agree at some point with people who thought this was boring, uneventful or dull. Not my experience, thankfully.

Edit: Damn, he gets to "know" the people. This just elevated the episode to another level. I'm changing from an 8 score to a 9. Judge me. Awesome episode.

The writers went for the easy sex scene instead of building characters and placing them in interesting situations. Cheap.

Just finished watching ' Tom Clancy's Jack ' series within a week all episodes. This is my first series. Though it is not so impressive, but definitely interesting till end. I have a few points are as my viewing approach. May help to new viewers.

At first about Jack Ryan, the role looks like dull version of James bond. Mostly times dumb. A little action and thinking different from others. Role played by Krasinski is well.

Second stage, of course Greer ! He is most interesting character in story. Plain face and rude behavior giving a fascinating impact on role. Role played by Wendell Pierce is perfectly.

Leading lady Cathy is miscast actually. She is not fit for the roll of doctor at all.

Hanin is another special character who impressed with outstanding performance and innocent beauty looks. Perfectly played by Dina Shihabi.

Suliman is also perfect casting for main villain as terrorist.

In short proper and perfect casing is a major plus point of the series except some characters.

Starting episode ( 01) is very good, but second one (02) is low. Again third (03) is interesting. There is a patch of another story of Victor Polizzi ( John Magaro) . I did not understand why stitched this part to main story because there is no connection or explanation of this sub story at the end of series. I feel whole series as stretching unnecessarily beyond limits many times. Leading us to lose interest from the story. Also ending episode is not as expectation which should have must be powerful for such thriller series. Main villain gets bulleted only within a second after a long chase without any retribution! Also none could not get a view of Suliman and his men when they entered in the Hospital whereas mobile network already jammed by police due to security reason. This means they only gave their attention on devices like mobiles etc rather that human. Human is not vulnerable to them!

Anyhow, the series is watchable. I expect more interesting and more action packed next season. It must be believable.

Don't like the subtitles. Even in the "The Hunt for Red October" - The Soviets spoke English with Russian accents.
