Jack Ryan (2018)
Entertaining but Brainless

The show has great production values, and I especially love all the shots on location around the world. It's fast-paced and adrenaline-laced -- but it's also so very dumb. The actions of the characters beggar belief, and physics, science, logic, laws or how things work in the real world seem to never get into the way of macho men saying random macho things while having fights, flying around in helicopters, or otherwise projecting "cool fantasy spy stuff."
I wish the writing got a fraction of the attention and budget that the rest of the show does, it could be so, so much better with more reasonable characters and plot.
