Author Tom Clancy introduced the character of Jack Ryan in a series of books before Ryan headed to the big screen in several films. Now the former U.S. Marine is featured in an episodic series for the first time, with John Krasinski portraying Ryan in this Amazon original thriller that centers on Ryan as an up-and-coming CIA analyst. He is thrust into a dangerous field assignment for the first time and uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication. That launches him into the middle of a dangerous gambit with a new breed of terrorism that threatens destruction on a global scale.

This show is an American web television series found on Amazon Prime. Season 1 just aired and it consist of eight 1hr episodes. Easy to binge watch and after you watch one you’ll want to keep on going.

The series was created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland. Cuse serves as an executive producer alongside John Krasinski, Michael Bay and Mace Neufeld, among others. Krasinski also stars in the series as the fictional character, making him the fifth actor to portray the character after Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine from the film series. In April 2018, it was announced that Amazon had renewed the series for a second season due out in 2019.

This show was good enough that I binged watched them all in a day, was worth it. This was some compelling story telling. Life is complicated, humanity is complicated, sometimes there are no good choices and sometimes good deeds are punished.

For me they gave equal time to both sides of the Jihadi vs. the West conflict. The story doesn't try to justify what they do or what we do it just shows the motivations and the actions. There are several stories being told that all intertwine, but all are equally important.

It’s fast paced with a lot of heart and was just down right addictive. Thoroughly enjoyed each and ever episode and can’t wait for season 2
