1. ›Thrilling! Jack Ryan (2018 - 2023) Season 1-2 || TV Series Review@esther-emmanuel72d

   

   I have had this TV series on my watchlist for a while. Last month, I decided to venture into the thrilling world of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. After watching seasons one and two, I can say it's a fantastic experience. Even more, I understand there's going to be feature movie where the main characters from this series will reprise their roles. I can't wait to watch it.

   Jack Ryan (2018 - 2023) is a political action thriller television series based on characters from the fictional Ryanverse by author Tom Clancy. Distributed by Amazon Prime Video, it's created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland and produced alongside Tom Clancy, John Krasinski, Michael Bay with others.

   

   Season one centers around global terrorism and tracking by intelligence. We are introduced to Jack Ryan (John Krasinski), a former U.S. Marine officer and Afghanistan veteran, who after a devasting mission becomes a CIA financial analyst. He discovers a series of suspicious bank transfers linked to one Suleiman. Bringing the suspicious bank transactions to his superiors, they discover that the transactions are used to fund a rising extremist network operating directly for the Middle East and Europe.

   

   Ryan is removed from his desk to the field to work together with his boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce). Together they are able to discover the big plan of Suleiman - a coordinated attack against the West.

   

   Season 2 gets more intense as it focuses on political conspiracy and power struggles in Venezuela. Ryan is sent to Venezuela to investigate suspicious illegal arms shipments entering the country. This mission is a routine one but then he discovers a larger conspiracy that can destabilise the region involving President Nicolás Reyes.

   

   Little did Ryan knew it's all a dangerous web of political manipulation, election interference, and other secret agendas. Working alongside his boss, Geer, who struggles with health issues, they go on covert missions, jungle operations, and face life threatening confrontations to bring Reyes down.

   Characters That Pique My Attention

   

   John Krasinski as Jack Ryan: Krasinski’s performance as the lead character, Jack Ryan, is impressive and unique. He portrays the character as it's written in the novels. At first, he's kind of aggravating but then I realise that the character from book is like that. Once he has his attention on something, he sees it through to the end. He is smart, cunny when he needs to be, resilient, brave and sometimes can be emotional unavailable.

   

   Wendell Pierce as James Greer: I see Geer as a character who periodically delivers comic relief using dark humor in this series. His performance is convincing. I'm able to connect to him more than Ryan. I'm not happy seeing him have health issues in the second season. He's more like a mentor than a boss to Ryan. He is resourceful, religious, and one of my favorite character in this series.

   

   Michael Kelly as Mike November: Kelly is an actor who frequently appears in crime, espionage and political thrillers. I always like to watch his films. As a CIA station chief and ally to Ryan and Greer, he brings strategic thinking, a little of comic relief, and presence that helps them navigate political situations well.

   My Review And Rating.

   I enjoyed watching the first two seasons of this series and already watching the last two seasons. The first season is an introduction into Jack Ryan's world. You would expect it to be slow paced but it's not. It starts off strong, every episode action-packed and thrilling, and it ends with a blast.

   I like Ryan’s transitions from analyst to field agent. It's seamless. There's character growth and evolution along the way. Also, the bromance between Krasinski and Pierce is natural and convincing.

   One flaw of the first season is the “familiar terrorism thriller” tropes depicted midseason. This makes the pacing slightly slow but things later pick up. The chase after the villain is well done and though he didn't get much screen time, he proves a worthy opponent for Ryan.

   The second season is fast-paced and more action-packed than the first season. Ryan's character is developed to explore outside the box. He faces more power and political games, and manipulation, and how evil it can be.

   One thing I love about this series is that the characters are well written and portrayed. The cast are simply perfect for their roles. The antagonists are given more depth and allowed to be ruthless with dangerous ambitions. The themes depicted include terrorism, radicalism, cost of war, growth and change, power, corruption, political manipulation, betrayal and loyalty. These are our reality and the acting makes them relatable and emotionally engaging.

   Rating seasons one and two, I will give them 8 stars out 10. Jack Ryan is an action-packed and thrilling watch. There are unexpected twists, mystery, tension and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat all through.

2. ›Jack Ryan (series) season 4: So far just as good as the rest of them@netflixr651d

   If you have never been a fan of this series I am actually strongly recommending that you get started on season 1. This is a really solid series that revolves around one character but many others as well. As the name suggests "Jack Ryan" is the central figure in this series and that character is played by John Krasinski, whose name you might not know but whose face you almost certainly do.

   src

   My first exposure to this guy was in "The Office" and I think that is the case for most people. Unlike almost everyone else that was involved in that series John Krasinski has pivoted himself in such a way that he is now shown to be capable of acting in any sort of situation where one would expect that he would be dedicated to comedy only. This happens to so many actors and actresses: They get well-known because of a certain role and then spend the rest of their careers trying to fight to not be ONLY seen as that character. Just ask any of the people that were in "Friends" about that if you don't believe me.

   Jack Ryan is a great series and involves espionage and government secrets via the CIA where Dr. Jack Ryan works initially as a financial analyst. It is obvious that his roles are going to extend beyond that pretty early on and as a viewer we are not let down.

   src

   While his role in the CIA is to be an office type, even as early as season 1, it extends far beyond that as time goes by and he has the background to excel in that because of his role as a member of active military before he took on the job of an office PhD in economics later in life. The intro shows that he is an expert marksman as well as a soldier that has been deployed many times and in this regard the show itself can be seen as some level of military propaganda. Don't let that deter you though because obviously this is a work of fiction and they do a really good job of stringing together the 4 seasons.

   Season 4 is the last season of this and perhaps this has a lot to do with John Krasinski being tired of doing it rather than it losing popularity. It is one of the most watched shows on Amazon Prime after all.

   One thing that tells all I need to know about the burnout of all involved with the show is that all of the seasons up to this one have had 8 episodes but season 4 has only 6. So you have to ask yourself why they would do that other than the fact that they don't really want to do it anymore.

   src

   Previous characters from earlier seasons are all still in season 4 unless they were killed off (not many were) and new ones are introduced in this season as well including a seriously fat Michael Peña who is one of those Hollywood celebrities that I am kind of disappointed in for letting themselves go physically.

   src

   I don't know how much money we have to give these guys to convince them to get on a treadmill for a month or so but apparently it isn't enough. Michael just looks like the guy you went to college with that really was a lot of fun at parties and could out-drink everyone and it shows in his chins. He isn't even that old so I guess I am happy for him that he got this role. He needs to exercise though because he is presented as being some sort of elite soldier in this and it just isn't believable when it looks like the only thing he would actually run for is free donuts on the corner if they were having a surprise giveaway. I guess it is good that he still had all of his hair but he has to feel inferior when he is standing next to Krasinski, who is around the same age as him but in superior shape physically.

   You do not need to know the plot of this or any of the other series that are included in Jack Ryan. You only need to know that it is wonderfully written, has a good pace, and the acting as well as budget keeps things looking real and very entertaining.

   Should I watch it?

   Yes

   That is all I really have to say about that. It is a good show by every metric. The episodes end in such a way that you better not try to watch "just one more" while you are trying to go to sleep because if that is your plan you will not be sleeping. I can only imagine that this is the final season because Krasinski doesn't want to do it anymore or because Amazon needed to free up more money to waste on The Rings of Power. This is an absolutely fantastic show and worth the Prime membership on its own.

   _{as it should be obvious in the writeup. This series in legally streamed only on Amazon Prime}

3. ›Jack Ryan Serie | Review [ENG-ESP]@sacra97940d

   

   _{Sourse/Fuente}

   I really enjoy the time I can watch series and movies, sometimes I find them unattractive so I dare to recommend the Jack Ryan series, also known as "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan"), it has a lot of suspense and action, a lot of politics and current events.

   One of the chapters is supposed to take place in Venezuela, since I didn't recognize the Guaira neighborhood that appears in the scenes, I searched for it and made it in Colombia and it makes sense that many of the scenes would have been impossible to film in Venezuela.

   

   _{Fuente/Source}

   I almost scream at the screen... and it's going to fall; and Reyes is going to fall. If you see the series you will understand me perfectly. There is also the equivalent of María Corina, with fraudulent elections and massive corruption. Jack Ryan seeks the truth behind Venezuela's transactions with several world powers.

   Well this is part of a season that focuses on the activities of Caracas, but there are scenes in Russia, in the third season, Jack investigates a plot to detonate an untraceable tactical nuclear bomb and blame it on the United States.

   The series really presents us with several settings and countries with high-action situations. When I start to grow fond of a character, they kill him, that's the part I don't like at all.

   The series begins with Jack Ryan, a prominent CIA analyst who discovers an unusual movement of bank accounts. He mentions this to his boss and gives him permission to block the money. The boss tells him no. But he orders the bank to be investigated and monitored. Jack disobeys the order and manages to block the account, which causes a strange meeting with the bank manager, agreeing with the analyst.

   From there his unexpected journey begins, he is assigned to a dangerous field mission. He soon discovers a pattern of terrorist communication and banking movements. There is a real threat of destruction.

   My recommendation for this week

   Genre: TV series. Action. Thriller. Drama of seasons # 4

   Highly recommended for those who like action.

   VERSION ESPAÑOL(click here!)

   

   _{Sourse/Fuente}

   Disfruto mucho los ratos que puedo ver series y películas, a veces me resultan poco atractivas así que me atrevo a recomendar la serie Jack Ryan, también es conocida como "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan") tiene mucho suspenso y acción, bastante política y actualidad.

   Uno de los capítulos se supone que se desarrolla en Venezuela, como no reconocí la barriada de la Guaira que aparece en las escena busque y la realizaron en Colombia y tiene lógica muchas de las escenas hubiesen sido imposibles grabarlas en Venezuela.

   

   _{Fuente/Source}

   Casi le grito a la pantalla ... y va a caer; y va a caer Reyes va a caer. Si llegan a ver la serie me van a entender perfectamente. También hay la equivalente a María Corina, con una elecciones fraudulentas y corrupción a granel. Jack Ryan busca la verdad detrás de las transacciones de Venezuela con varias potencias mundiales.

   Bueno esto es una parte de una temporada que se centra en las actividades de Caracas, pero se manejan escenas en Rusia, en la tercera temporada, Jack investiga un complot para detonar una bomba nuclear táctica imposible de rastrear y culpar a estados Unidos.

   La serie en verdad nos presenta varios escenarios y países con situaciones de mucha acción. Cuando le voy tomando cariño a un personaje me lo matan, esa es la parte que no me gusta para nada.

   La serie comienza con Jack Ryan, un destacado analista de la CIA que descubre un movimiento de cuentas en bancos nada normal. Se lo comenta a su jefe y le permiso para bloquear el dinero. El jefe le dice que no. Pero manda a investigar y vigilar el banco. Jack desobedece la orden y logra bloquear la cuenta, eso causa que se de una reunión extraña con el gerente del banco, dándole la razón al analista.

   De allí comienza su inesperada travesía, es asignado a una peligrosa misión de campo. Pronto descubre un patrón de comunicación terrorista y los movimientos bancarios. Hay una amenaza real de destrucción.

   Youtube

   Mi recomendación para esta semana

   Género: Serie de TV. Acción. Thriller. Drama N.º de temporadas 4

   Altamente recomendada para los que le gusta la acción.

4. ›I finally finished the third and fourth seasons of Jack Ryan | Spoiler-free opinion [ENG/SPA]@danielcarrerag947d

   Finally I could finish watching this series, 2 years ago I saw its first two seasons that left me with a bittersweet taste, because I loved the first season, but the second one being about Venezuela and being filmed in Colombia, being very noticeable differences, caused me a strange feeling, something like when they abruptly knock you down an illusion, that left me with some uncertainty to see the 3rd and 4th season.

   Por fin he terminado la tercera y cuarta temporada de Jack Ryan | Opinión sin spoilers

   Finalmente pude terminar de ver esta serie, hace 2 años ví sus dos primeras temporadas que me dejaron un sabor agridulce, porque la primera temporada me encantó, pero la segunda al tratarse de Venezuela y ser grabada en Colombia, siendo muy notables las diferencias, me causó una extraña sensación, algo así como cuando te tumban abruptamente una ilusión, eso me dejó con cierta incertidumbre para ver la 3 y la 4 temporada.

   

   But finally I was encouraged, but with some surprise because I thought that only a 3rd season had been released, not being subscribed for a long time to Amazon, so I did not know about the progress and premieres, until thanks to an advertisement in networks I learned of the 4th season that ended in July this year, so I subscribed again and little by little I have enjoyed their episodes.

   Pero finalmente me anime, pero con cierta sorpresa porque pensaba que solo se había estrenado una 3era temporada, por no estar suscrito por un buen tiempo a Amazon, así no me enteraba de los avances y estrenos, hasta que gracias a una publicidad en redes supe de la 4ta temporada que finalizó en julio de este año, así que me suscribi nuevamente y poco a poco he disfrutado de sus episodios.

   

   The third season gave me back the good feeling that the first one left me, a thriller of action and espionage, where things are revealed progressively, giving the viewer the opportunity to be part of the solution, to believe that he has the answer, to know who is the culprit or the bad guy of the game, I think that is the basis of this series, although it was somewhat intense the theme of espionage in the third season, I think it was a good job.

   La tercera temporada me devolvió el buen sentimiento que me dejo la primera, un thriller de acción y espionaje, donde se develan las cosas progresivamente, dándole la oportunidad al espectador de ser parte de la solución, de creer que tiene la respuesta, de saber quien es el culpable o el malo de la partida, creo que esa es la base de esta serie, aunque fue algo intenso el tema del espionaje de la tercera temporada, creo que fue un buen trabajo.

   

   This season deals with the eternal conflict between Americans and Russians, where a supposed Russian faction wants to return the country to the "glory" of the Soviet Union, attacking the United States to show that they are still to be feared. The theme of espionage between Russia and the United States seems to be always going to work, waging between them supposed technological wars that are public knowledge, so they are themes with which the audience can feel familiar, of course here the United States will always win.

   Esta temporada aborda el eterno conflicto entre americanos y rusos, donde una supuesta facción rusa quiere devolver al pais la "gloria" tuvo la Union Sovietica, atacando a los Estados Unidos para demostrar que aún son de temer. El tema del espionaje entre Rusia y Estados Unidos parece que siempre va a funcionar, librando entre ellos supuestas guerras tecnológicas que son de conocimiento público, así que son temas con que la audiencia se puede sentir familiarizado, claro acá siempre va a ganar los estados unidos.

   

   The fourth season I believe was a forced closure, in fact there were only 6 episodes, many speculated that it was not the usual 8 episodes due to problems with its protagonist John Krasinski, which is totally false, since he himself stated that this would be his last season, that he did not intend to renew because the contract he initially signed was only for 4 seasons. The reality is that its premiere was delayed more than it should have been due to the problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

   La cuarta temporada creo que fue un cierre forzado, de hecho solo fueron 6 episodios, muchos especularon que no fueron los acostumbrados 8 episodios debido a problemas con su protagonista John Krasinski, lo cual es totalmente falso, ya que él mismo declaró que esta sería su última temporada, que no pretendía renovar porque el contrato que firmó inicialmente fue solo por por 4 temporadas. La realidad es que su estreno sí demoró mas de lo debido por los problemas que ocasionó la pandemia de Covid-19.

   

   The theme they addressed in the fourth season was quite peculiar, it starts with Jack Ryan assuming the position of deputy director of the CIA, but this time with the mission of unmasking the corrupt within his country, which is associated with the most powerful criminals on the planet, to achieve this he assumes the same role of the entire series, does not keep the protocols or superior orders, which may be flawed due to so many bad people involved.

   El tema que abordaron en la cuarta temporada fue bastante peculiar, inicia con Jack Ryan asumiendo el puesto de director adjunto de la CIA, pero esta vez con la misión de desenmascarar a los corruptos dentro de su pais, que se asociando con los criminales mas poderosos del planeta, para lograrlo asume el mismo rol de toda la serie, no sigue los protocolos ni órdenes superiores, las que pueden estar viciadas debido a tantas personas malas involucradas.

   

   The truth is that it was not my favorite this last season, the enemy that appears seemed to me very far-fetched, I will not say which one it is so that it does not cease to be a surprise for those who have not seen it. Also the series had more drama thanks to the return of Cathy Mueller's character (Abbie Cornish) who did not appear since the first season, I guess due to the non-continuation of Krasinski, they had to give a retreat to Jack Ryan with whom at one point was his only romantic relationship.

   La verdad que no fue mi favorita esta última temporada, el enemigo que aparece me pareció muy rebuscado, no digo cual es para que no deje de ser sorpresa para quien no la ha visto. También la serie tuvo mayor drama gracias al regreso del personaje de Cathy Mueller (Abbie Cornish) que no aparecía desde la primera temporada, supongo que debido a la no continuación de Krasinski, debían darle un retiro a Jack Ryan con quien en un momento fue su única relación romántica.

5. ›Jack Ryan (series): Definitely worth watching, at least for now@netflixr1034d

   I am only 4 episodes into this series so I don't want to fly out of the gate and tell people that they absolutely must watch this show but so far, I have been entertained for the entirety of the 4, 45-minute episodes that I have seen thus far. This is extremely rare to have happen to me as I normally am quite picky about what I watch, so I think that unless they do something terrible with the story, that this will continue to be really good.

   It has a great cast and Michael Bay as a producer, so of course there is plenty of really good action with tons of explosions since Bay really seems to enjoy that sort of thing and is really good at it.

   src

   By the way this is NOT on Netflix. Even though my username is netflixr and my original idea was to exclusively follow Netflix material, I have a falling out of sorts with that company in the past couple of years. Now I am on Plex and I am watching movies and TV shows from a wide-variety of streaming platforms. This particular show comes from Amazon Prime but as I am sure you are aware, there are many other ways of obtaining this, and almost any other show in existence.

   src

   At first, Jack Ryan might appear to be another Homeland because it does share a lot of the same characteristics in that Jack works for a USA covert operations organization, only this time it is the CIA rather than Homeland Security. His unit specializes in the financial aspects of tracking terrorism, but this quickly becomes raw action rather than just some guy in a cubicle staring at spreadsheets.

   This is one of the first times that I am seeing John Krasinski play a non-comedic role. I recall he was in a horror movie where the aliens could see nothing but had super-special hearing. I thought he did a good job in that role but the premise behind the movie was extremely flawed and therefore I couldn't enjoy it.

   I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to get himself out of the type-casting of comedy after years of success in the TV show The Office but he has definitely pulled it off in this series.

   src

   It begins with him being a bit of a desk jockey and he is content with his simple life in relative safety in the confines of an office in Washington D.C. But due to his discovery of some really important financial happenings in Europe and the Middle East, he is taken out to the forefront since he is the only one that is extremely familiar with the situation.

   I like the character because he isn't "all powerful." Although Jack does have a military background and this is shown in multiple flashbacks in the first few episodes, he is still very vulnerable in combat and fighting situations and this kind of in unique when comparing his character to that other Jack with the surname Reacher and a multitude of other series that have a similar plotline.

   This is one of the things that makes me more interested in this series that others like it. Jack doesn't always win and even though I enjoy the other CIA type films, it does get a bit annoying that the guy we are focused on is always 10 steps ahead of the enemy and is seemingly invulnerable. Jack Ryan as a character and the organizations that he works with are very vulnerable and often, they lose. You'll find this out in the very first episode so I don't think that is much of a spoiler.

   The show has a nice mix of action and drama and I would say that it is just the right mix because neither one happens for such a long period of time that you have a chance to get sick of it.

   Should I watch it?

   Out of all the series I have recently watched this is one of my favorites and at least thus far, it is my favorite espionage-oriented series perhaps of all time. Even though I had other things that I needed and wanted to do on the one and only day that I spent watching this, I binged 4 episodes in a row and ended up getting a lot less sleep than I needed that night. I think that most people who watch this will end up having a similar reaction to it.

   As far as Amazon series are concerned, this is one of their best and does a tiny bit in making up for the dumpster fire that is The Rings of Power. I'm just hopeful that they don't screw this series up. There are currently 3 seasons available and there is a 4th on the way.

   Several times on these screens, in my reviews I have pointed out how today we live in a moment in which the supply of high / very high level TV is almost exceeding the demand. Who, like me, loves contemporary seriality is no longer able to keep up with the many excellent products that are offered every year by the various broadcasters. Just think that in 2018 alone we saw new series such as Sharp Objects, Killing Eve, Pose, Kidding, Castle Rock, Forever, Counterpart, Barry, Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Yellowstone, Bodyguard and others. At least 10 unmissable titles, or hundreds of hours invested in watching what's new added to the many cult series to follow faithfully year after year. To this add that Netflix doesn't miss a beat and that many giants today are following that path with Disney coming soon, Facebook, Apple and Youtube that debuted with their original products this year and Hulu that climbs positions month after month. In this context Amazon has certainly not been watching by deciding to strategically tack on a few products but good, at least in intentions. The house of Bezos has in fact abandoned the old track of creating many pilots and choose some of them to invest heavily on a handful of titles with abnormal production efforts, cinematic. Just think of the investment of 2 billion dollars made on the Lord of the Rings, a creature still unborn and already talked about. It is in this context that last September Jack Ryan, an adaptation of one of Tom Clancy's most famous writings, arrived on screens. Jack Ryan is played by the excellent John Stracinsky, directed, guided by a series of serial minds of great experience among which Carlton Cuse stands out. At his side an old and solid knowledge of The Wire fans, Wendell Pierce. The series doesn't invent or reinvent anything but what it proposes manages to propose it at the highest level. Jack Ryan is one of the many series that, starting from a background of Islam's terrorist war towards the West, try to dissect political, spy and geopolitical plots and subplots. There are no particular flashes, there is not much originality in the development of the story but everything that is shot is done well, very well. There is a lot of action and when we run into shootings, explosions and guerrillas we do it from the inside, we do it with a total immersion and claustrophobic. The investigative events are mostly very credible and well staged. The characters are certainly not unforgettable but they are never flat and flattened, each one having a strong depth that gives interest. The production effort has been enormous, just think that the series physically travels from one part of the globe to another, from France to the Middle East, passing obviously through America. For those who are on the hunt for a product of pure entertainment Jack Ryan does not betray, indeed he raises the bar considerably. For those who are looking for interesting and original novelties then a pinch of disappointment could emerge. We are clearly on the Homeland side, with a pinch of the much idolized 24 and its iconic protagonist Jack Bauer. Compared to Homeland, there's certainly a lack of conspiracy nuances and a pedantic reading of current events, and there's also a lack of interest in the main characters and not only on a purely political and thematic level, but there's no doubt that Jack Ryan draws from them. He draws from there and from action cinema to stage the biggest serial production of genre ever seen. He does it in 8 sumptuous and full of rhythm episodes, perfect for those who want to enjoy a show without too much complexity but with many noteworthy plot twists, having to pay the usual fee of suspending disbelief. These days it may seem little, but in the end it is not.

   

   Più volte su questi schermi, nelle mie review ho sottolineato come oggi viviamo un momento in cui l'offerta di alto/altissimo livello in tv stia quasi superando la domanda. Chi, come me, adora la serialità contemporanea non riesce ormai più a stare al passo dei tanti prodotti di eccellenza che ogni anno vengono proposti dalle varie emittenti. Pensate che nel solo 2018 abbiamo assistito a nuove serie quali Sharp Objects, Killing Eve, Pose, Kidding, Castle Rock, Forever, Counterpart, Barry, Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Yellowstone, Bodyguard e altre ancora. Almeno 10 titoli imperdibili, ovvero centinaia di ore investite nel guardare ciò che è nuovo sommate alle tante serie cult da seguire fedelmente anno dopo anno. A questo aggiungete che Netflix non perde un colpo e che tanti colossi oggi stanno seguendo quella strada con Disney che sta per arrivare, Facebook, Apple e Youtube che hanno debuttato con i propri prodotti originali quest'anno e Hulu che scala posizioni mese dopo mese. In questo contesto Amazon non è stata di certo a guardare decidendo di virare strategicamente su pochi prodotti ma buoni, almeno nelle intenzioni. La casa di Bezos ha infatti abbandonato il vecchio binario di creare tanti pilot e sceglierne alcuni per investire in maniera decisa su una manciata di titoli in maniera massiccia con sforzi produttivi abnormi, cinematografici. Basti pensare all'investimento di 2 miliardi di dollari fatto sul Signore degli Anelli, creatura ancora non nata e già chiaccheratissima. E'in questo contesto che lo scorso settembre è approdato sugli schermi Jack Ryan, adattamento di uno dei più famosi scritti di Tom Clancy. Jack Ryan è interpretato dall'ottimo John Stracinsky, diretto, guidato da una serie di menti seriali di grande esperienza fra cui spicca Carlton Cuse. Al suo fianco una vecchia e solida conoscenza degli appassionati di The Wire, Wendell Pierce. La serie non inventa o reinventa nulla ma quello che propone riesce a proporlo al massimo livello. Jack Ryan si colloca tra le tante serie che partendo da uno sfondo di guerra terroristica dell'Islam verso l'Occidente provano a sviscerare trame e sottotrame politiche, spionistiche e geopolitiche. Non ci sono guizzi particolari, non c'è moltissima originalità nello sviluppo della storia ma tutto quello che viene girato viene fatto bene, benissimo. Vi è tanta azione e quanto incappiamo in sparatorie, esplosioni e guerriglie lo facciamo da dentro, lo facciamo con un'immersione totale e claustrofobica. Le vicende investigative sono per lo più molto credibili e ben messe in scena. I personaggi non sono certo indimenticabili ma non sono mai piatti e appiattiti, avendo ognuno una forte profondità che regala interesse. Lo sforzo produttivo è stato enorme, basti pensare che la serie viaggia fisicamente da una parte all'altra del globo, dalla Francia al medio oriente, passando ovviamente per l'America. Per chi è a caccia di un prodotto di puro intrattenimento Jack Ryan non tradisce, anzi alza l'asticella in modo considerevole. Per chi cerca novità interessanti e originali allora un pizzico di delusione potrebbe affiorare. Siamo nettamente dalle parti di Homeland, con un pizzico del tanto idolatrato 24 e del suo protagonista iconico Jack Bauer. Rispetto ad Homeland mancano di certo le sfumature complottistiche e la lettura pedissequa dell'attualità, e manca anche un certo interesse di fondo per i personaggi principali e non ma a livello prettamente politico e tematico è indubbio che Jack Ryan peschi da li. Pesca da li e dal cinema action per portare in scena la più grande produzione seriale di genere che si sia mai vista. Lo fa in 8 puntate sontuose e piene di ritmo, perfetto per chi voglia godere uno spettacolo senza troppa complessità ma con tanti plot twist degni di nota, dovendo pagare la solita tassa della sospensione dell'incredulità. Di questi tempi può sembrare poco, ma in fondo non lo è.

   Più volte su questi schermi, nelle mie review ho sottolineato come oggi viviamo un momento in cui l'offerta di alto/altissimo livello in tv stia quasi superando la domanda.
   Chi, come me, adora la serialità contemporanea non riesce ormai più a stare al passo dei tanti prodotti di eccellenza che ogni anno vengono proposti dalle varie emittenti.
   Pensate che nel solo 2018 abbiamo assistito a nuove serie quali Sharp Objects, Killing Eve, Pose, Kidding, Castle Rock, Forever, Counterpart, Barry, Marvelous Mrs Maisel, Yellowstone, Bodyguard e altre ancora.
   Almeno 10 titoli imperdibili, ovvero centinaia di ore investite nel guardare ciò che è nuovo sommate alle tante serie cult da seguire fedelmente anno dopo anno.
   A questo aggiungete che Netflix non perde un colpo e che tanti colossi oggi stanno seguendo quella strada con Disney che sta per arrivare, Facebook, Apple e Youtube che hanno debuttato con i propri prodotti originali quest'anno e Hulu che scala posizioni mese dopo mese. In questo contesto Amazon non è stata di certo a guardare decidendo di virare strategicamente su pochi prodotti ma buoni, almeno nelle intenzioni. La casa di Bezos ha infatti abbandonato il vecchio binario di creare tanti pilot e sceglierne alcuni per investire in maniera decisa su una manciata di titoli in maniera massiccia con sforzi produttivi abnormi, cinematografici. Basti pensare all'investimento di 2 miliardi di dollari fatto sul Signore degli Anelli, creatura ancora non nata e già chiaccheratissima.
   E'in questo contesto che lo scorso settembre è approdato sugli schermi Jack Ryan, adattamento di uno dei più famosi scritti di Tom Clancy.

   
   
   

       Spy-action al massimo livello  
   
   

   Jack Ryan è interpretato dall'ottimo John Stracinsky, diretto, guidato da una serie di menti seriali di grande esperienza fra cui spicca Carlton Cuse. Al suo fianco una vecchia e solida conoscenza degli appassionati di The Wire, Wendell Pierce.
   La serie non inventa o reinventa nulla ma quello che propone riesce a proporlo al massimo livello.
   Jack Ryan si colloca tra le tante serie che partendo da uno sfondo di guerra terroristica dell'Islam verso l'Occidente provano a sviscerare trame e sottotrame politiche, spionistiche e geopolitiche. Non ci sono guizzi particolari, non c'è moltissima originalità nello sviluppo della storia ma tutto quello che viene girato viene fatto bene, benissimo.
   Vi è tanta azione e quanto incappiamo in sparatorie, esplosioni e guerriglie lo facciamo da dentro, lo facciamo con un'immersione totale e claustrofobica.
   Le vicende investigative sono per lo più molto credibili e ben messe in scena.
   I personaggi non sono certo indimenticabili ma non sono mai piatti e appiattiti, avendo ognuno una forte profondità che regala interesse.
   Lo sforzo produttivo è stato enorme, basti pensare che la serie viaggia fisicamente da una parte all'altra del globo, dalla Francia al medio oriente, passando ovviamente per l'America.

      Intrattenimento puro  
   
   

   
   Per chi è a caccia di un prodotto di puro intrattenimento Jack Ryan non tradisce, anzi alza l'asticella in modo considerevole.
   Per chi cerca novità interessanti e originali allora un pizzico di delusione potrebbe affiorare.
   Siamo nettamente dalle parti di Homeland, con un pizzico del tanto idolatrato 24 e del suo protagonista iconico Jack Bauer.
   Rispetto ad Homeland mancano di certo le sfumature complottistiche e la lettura pedissequa dell'attualità, e manca anche un certo interesse di fondo per i personaggi principali e non ma a livello prettamente politico e tematico è indubbio che Jack Ryan peschi da li.
   Pesca da li e dal cinema action per portare in scena la più grande produzione seriale di genere che si sia mai vista.
   Lo fa in 8 puntate sontuose e piene di ritmo, perfetto per chi voglia godere uno spettacolo senza troppa complessità ma con tanti plot twist degni di nota, dovendo pagare la solita tassa della sospensione dell'incredulità.
   Di questi tempi può sembrare poco, ma in fondo non lo è.

9. ›Ջեկ Ռայան (Jack Ryan, 2018)@panza2813d

   Ջեկ Ռայանը դեռեւս հեռու է Ջեյմս Բոնդի կամ Ջեյսոն Բորնի փառքից, բայց նա դեռեւս չի հանդիսանում անանուն աշխատող, այլ ճանաչելի բնույթ: Այն ակնհայտորեն համընկնում է միջազգային լայնածավալ հակամարտությունների հետ, որոնք անմիջականորեն սպառնում են ամերիկյան անվտանգությանը: Ես նկատի ունեմ, որ ոչ այնքան շատ աշխատանքներ էին նվիրված Ռուսաստանի եւ միջեւ, այլ ավելի շատ համակրում էր Ռուսաստանի հետ, բացառությամբ գրված «Հրամանատարության հեղինակության» գրությամբ, իսկ նրա հիմնական ոճրագործները կամ ահաբեկիչներն էին կամ չինացիները, կամ թմրադեղերի մաֆիա.

   Սուլեյմանն է, որը Սիրիայում պայքարել է Ասադի ռեժիմի դեմ: Ռուսաստանը գրեթե չի նշվում առաջին սեզոնի ընթացքում, բացառությամբ մի քանի ահաբեկիչների, բայց նույնիսկ նրանք, որոնք ակնհայտորեն թշնամական են ժամանակակից Ռուսաստանին, եւ շարքը ինքնին հնարավորինս մոտ է մեր սկանդալային նախագծի «Քնած» երկրորդ մրցաշրջանին: Միեւնույն ժամանակ, դա ոչ միայն ավելի թանկ է, ինչը տրամաբանական է, այլեւ ավելի խոնարհ: Դուք կտեսնեք ոչ միայն Յեմենի եւ Լիբերիայի թեժ կետերը դեպի Սիրիա, այլեւ ամենասարսափելի ահաբեկչական հարձակումները, այդ թվում նաեւ այն քաղաքական ուժերը, որոնք ազդում են քաղաքական էլիտայի վրա.

   Միակ բանը, որ ինձ սկզբունքորեն դուր չեկավ, այն էր, որ անսպասելի պատմություն էր, որ առաջին հերթին գաղտնի դահլիճի տեսարանով, որը ոչ մի կապ չունեցավ հողամասի հետ: Հակառակ դեպքում, բոլոր ութ դրվագները նայում են մեկ քայլին, եւ նկարագրված իրադարձությունները բավականին կարեւոր են, քանի որ սցենարը հիմնվել է նորությունների քրոնիկի վրա, այլ ոչ թե Կլանտեի բնօրինակ աշխատանքների վրա: Լիբերիայի վիրուսը, Ֆրանսիայում տեղի ունեցած ահաբեկչական հարձակումները, փախստականների խնդիրը, այս ամենը վերջին տարիների լուրեր է: Առանձին-առանձին ես շատ ուրախ եւ առատաձեռնորեն նկարահանեցի աշխարհագրությունը, որը ցույց տվեց այս ամենը: Տեխնիկական օգնությամբ: շոուն նկարահանել է ավելի արժանի.

   Դինամիկ եւ բարձր դինամիկ դավադրության ֆոնին ես հաճելիորեն զարմացած էի կողմնակի գծերի մանրամասնության ուշադրության ներքո: Նույն փախստականներին վերցրեք. սերիան, չնայած ոչ փաստաթղթավորված, բայց բավականին իրատեսական եւ մանրակրկիտ ճամբարների, եվրոպական քրեական ուղիների մասին, շատ բնական է, այս ամենը պատկերում է տեսանյութերի շարքը, որը հատկապես լավ է հակառակվում սովորական փախստականների եւ ահաբեկչության գեղեցիկ կնոջ միջեւ: Նույնիսկ հարձակումները ցույց են տրվում ոչ միայն որպես գծային գործողություն, այլեւ որպես համալիր ծրագիր նախապատրաստական ​​գործընթացի մանրամասներով, ինչը հետաքրքիր է հետեւել.

   Ընդհանրապես, ես ակնկալում էի, որ կաղապարի թրիլերները ոչ պատշաճ դրամայի տեսքով տեսնեին, բայց ես ստացա գերազանց թրիլլեր, արդիական հարցերով եւ շատ լավ պատմությամբ, որը միայն եզրափակիչը փոքր-ինչ փչացնում է, շատ ավելի կարծրատիպ է, երբ համեմատվում է մյուս մրցաշրջանի հետ: Միեւնույն ժամանակ, Ջոն Քրիսինսկու տեսքը ինձ դարձրեց ամենաուժեղ դիսոնը Ռայանի կերպարի հետ, բայց նա եւ նրա ոչ շատ գեղեցիկ սիրուհին կատարյալ դեր են խաղում, եւ հետեւաբար որեւէ վրդովմունքի չեն հանգեցնում: Երկրորդ սեզոնը, ըստ երեւույթին, նվիրված կլինի Ռուսաստանում տեղի ունեցող իրադարձություններին, ես ակնկալում եմ եւ հուսով եմ, որ գրողները կկարողանան պահպանել բարձր որակի որակ եւ ոչ թե անկեղծ լարախաղացին.
