I'm a sucker for a good spy show/movie so I'm enjoying Jack Ryan. Much better than the 2nd season.
My only weird complaint is that its not really a Jack Ryan show. It's more of a show about a dude in the CIA. I always kind of liked the "I'm just an analyst" version of Jack Ryan. Harrison Ford played it best. Smart rising talent in the agency with a tendency for hunches that are usually right, gets in to situations way over his head. He uses his smarts, naivete and cunning to get the job done.
It's far from a unique trope, but I like it.
