I liked the first serie and thought the second was already a step down but the start of the third series is really getting on my nerves. We have a series of events and coincidences that are farfetched and not rooted into realism whatsoever.
There also doesn't seem to be a single person with a map or access to wikipedia in the entire writers/producers room. Tom Clancy would scream at the blatant ignorance shown.
* In episode 1 Jack goes with a dingy from the Black Sea to Greece. Greece does not border the Black Sea. If he needed to go to a NATO country he could have gone to Turkey, Romania or Bulgaria. To reach Greece he had to go through the Bosporus and the Dardanelles. Both narrow straits with heavy traffic.
* In the same episode a 3 megaton nuclear device is called "low yield". "Low Yield" is around 10 kilotons or less. The Hiroshima bomb was 16 kilotons. 3 megaton is larger than almost the entire US arsenal of nuclear devices.
* The Czech Republic is "thinking of joining NATO". They have been members of NATO since 1999.
* The new Russian defence minister threatens the Czech president with an attack through Ukraine. Czechia does not share a border with Ukraine. Russia would have to go through Poland or Slovakia, both in NATO, to do so.
