This is basically Jack Ryan as a comedy. The CIA is depicted as utterly incompetent, which I guess is funny for some. Then we have Foggy Nelson as Jack Ryan which might be funny for others.
So, here's the deal. The story is actually not bad, but the comedy is absolutely killing this show. It is not funny how the employees of the Agency are sabotaging each others work. It's just stupid. I mean, really really stupid.
The dorm room romance thing is a strange add-on, and while it's the most fun it's also the most odd scenes.
Here's how to make this a better show: Put a kick ass lead - someone with chops - in it, and ditch the drama and comedy.
While we wait for the next season of Jack Ryan I will still watch this and grace it with 6 stars just because there's really nothing in spy space at the moment.
