Even in the two episodes I watched! How would the head of MI6 stay in post if his daughter was kidnapped? And he keeps disappearing and evading his security detail. Is nobody asking questions if he's being controlled or manipulated by the kidnappers?

Yeah, I would love to see a spy drama with Charlie Cox that wasn't written by a toddler. What a wasted opportunity.

Reply to Jack Ryan, Season 3- What did you think? by Smarkie
Mediocre. There's absolutely nothing in this show I haven't seen in before in various spy dramas. It offers nothing new, just more tedious American exceptionalism.
This character is so boring, why does he get so many chances and remakes? There is literally not one interesting aspect to him. How would you even describe his character? There's just nothing there.

I gave up on Jack Ryan cos it was so boring to watch this.
Poor Charlie Cox. He must have been blackmailed into doing this. It's preposterous. It bears no relation to reality at all. It's like one of those Harlen Coben adaptations, but much worse. Two episodes in and I'm done.
Jack Ryan looks like Chekov next to this.

I hope it doesn't effect him. Actors are rarely to blame for a show being bad.. I guess actors have to balance out the need to work against the best offers on the table at any one time, vs their availability and may not even see a full script for a series before they have to sign on. Even if they give a bad performance, it's kinda the director's fault, or in this case the writer's. Unless it's a vanity project, then I usually go easy on them.
