Up-and-coming CIA analyst Jack Ryan is thrust into a dangerous field assignment as he uncovers a pattern in terrorist communication that launches him into the center of a dangerous gambit.
Please let me know once you finished the show if you were able to tell how exactly that extra bit was missing. I knew it was missing, but can't say how exactly. :)
You already provided the best possible answer for me. This season is still good, it just lacks the captivating nature of its earlier counterparts, notably the first two seasons. But that could also be a result from what you mentioned earlier about the series now feeling a bit stale. The pacing felt off, and for the most part, I was able to foresee the twists from a mile away. While the plot was good and not entirely unfamiliar, there was room for better construction. Nonetheless, overall, a solid cast and some strong scenes in a shortened format made it mostly enjoyable for me.

I recently started season four myself and—four episodes in—I feel the same as you. Solid so far but missing that extra bit of Oomph prior seasons had.

Finished season 4 and thus the show. I still enjoyed it, but I'm totally okay with it being over. The concept felt very fresh when the show started, but it became a bit stale. Not boring stale, but "it's okay that it's ending" stale.

I was impressed by "the dude from the office", ever since "A Quiet Place". I'v seen seasons 1 & 2 of Jack Ryan, and thought they were really good. And then season 3 comes along, and they keep up the levels of excellence of the fist two seasons, and then even up them!
Kudos to everybody involved! Can't wait for season 4! :-)

Finished season 3. Such a great show! <3 The big budget is visible, they are putting my Prime bucks to good use. :)
I love how believable the Moscow/ Russia scenes looked, given that - as expected - they didn't film over there:
I found the charactersunlikable, the storyunbelievable (even for fiction) but mostly it was soooooslow! I was like, maybe the movies were fun (for the most part) because we didn't have to spend 8 of 10 hours dicking around with Ryan :/
Wow... If you found this slow, please NEVER watch https://next-episode.net/the-english :D - great but really slow.

I watched Season One during lockdown and it was trash... I can't believe it got another season.

The only thing I do not like about that show is that when they portray the series as being very dangerous towards the main character. We all know he will not die. So why even bother.
And THIS drove me crazy, thanks for pointing it out! What they needed was a character that we actually could worry about... on top of that as someone who has read and watched Jack Ryan over the years John Krasinski was no Jack Ryan.

Whaaat? You can't disagree with ~97% of viewers and not share which aspects of the show you disliked. :cool:
