TV review - "Jack Ryan" Season 1 (2018) ****

On the whole, this was fantastic. It's got impressive production values, it's very smart - the use of technology is skillful. Most importantly they nailed the character of Jack Ryan. He's a decent smart guy (maybe too smart - he never makes a mistake, only sometimes figures things out a bit too late).

He's got a super smart antagonist, and I love his relationship with Greer. Very well cast. The can't resist the temptation to have Ryan pull out his gun and do something bad ass every ep - the show needed a John Clark character to do this.

Oh and when Abbie Cornish comes in and says she's a doctor for infectious diseases, that kind of gives away what the final plan will involve.

Matt McCoy is in this!
