I would have rated this episode a 9, but the side plot with the drone operator has nothing to do with he rest of the plot and seems to simply be the writers' attempt to add some extra morality. Unnecessary and distracting.

This episode in Turkey; A complete disappointment. I don't know what your problem is with Turkey, but Türkiye is not a Middle Eastern country.

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 British accent of the guy who plays the British Doctor (Vince Nappo) is appalling. Needs some more lessons.

"Jack Ryan" S1 E6 delivers another exceptionally strong installment, pushing the narrative into even higher stakes and more dangerous territory. This episode sees the meticulously built tension of previous episodes culminate in thrilling confrontations, further cementing its place as a compelling spy thriller.

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.

Some may not like how the side plot with drone team member has eaten up screen time without much impact about Jack's investigation.

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.
