At some point, Jack Ryan went from being someone who said, "Hey, I'm just an analyst", when he was being pushed into field work. Back then we could believe that he was capable of some degree of badass-ness, but he has magically transformed into a sort of Special Forces type who can lead teams through the fiercest action. How did this transformation happen? We're not supposed to wonder. This third season if full of actors looking cool and mouthing lines that are intended to be dark and mysterious in an attempt to impress us with how scary this all is as they save the world. But none of it rises above a level that would convince anyone with much more than a 12 year old's intellect. It's all just more of the same stuff we keep getting fed, mood and action without much plot or dialogue that's more than vaguely interesting. Add to this a number of incorrect details that affect timing, believability and just plain old accuracy and you end up with a series that is mildly watchable but ultimately forgettable.
