Maybe they're trying to hard, though. Jack is holier than thou and his colleague is a Muslim, show some respect for this brand new, cleansed CIA! Still, the episode works, apart from the drone pilot side plot, which looks like they did not know how to fill enough time for an episode.
First of all, there are no unofficial checkpoints in Turkey and there never will be. You won't see militant-type people walking around with Ak47s in their hands. Turkish people are not Arabs, Arabic is not spoken everywhere. Additionally, as seen in this section, it is not possible to engage in nonsensical human trafficking. Obviously, putting hundreds of people on boats is an incomprehensible nonsense. And dozens of armed guards... Remember, Turkey is a country where modern people lives with advanced technology...
The side plot did bring morality and humanity factor to round the story. It is not as "defined" and heroic as these protagonists often written to be.
Soldiers can often be wrong too. At times they face internal struggles in following orders. I don't live anywhere near Middle East to judge its authenticity, but the plot is refreshing to me.
The plot accelerates significantly, with Jack finding himself deeper in the field and facing direct threats that test his mettle beyond analysis. The consequences of the terrorist plot become chillingly real, forcing the characters to react with urgency and precision. The intricate web of global espionage begins to unravel with major developments that are both shocking and impactful.
The performances continue to be excellent. John Krasinski embodies Jack Ryan's evolution from a desk-bound analyst to a resourceful field operative with conviction. The supporting cast, caught in the escalating crisis, delivers intense and believable portrayals of individuals under extreme pressure.
The action sequences are expertly choreographed and executed, providing heart-pounding thrills without sacrificing narrative coherence. The production value remains consistently high, immersing the viewer in diverse and dangerous international locales. The pacing is relentless, ensuring that the audience remains on the edge of their seat throughout.
Overall, S1 E6 is a really good episode that exemplifies the series' strengths. It's a crucial and exciting chapter that propels the story toward its thrilling conclusion, delivering both high-octane action and compelling character moments.

- GoofsThe terrorists are shown digging up the body of an Ebola victim in Liberia to harvest the virus for future use. First, the virus only remains viable in the body for a week, therefore they would've had to exhume it before then, second, the Ebola victims in Liberia were burned, not buried to prevent potential spread of the virus.
