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.
