Jack Ryan: Tertia Optio (2019)
Season 2, Episode 2
6/10
Entertaining with a deranged plot
26 July 2023
The "assassin" who planted the bomb is clearly not good at his job, leaving witnesses alive left and right and even making a second attempt to kill Jack in his hotel room. That was weird, starting from the bathtub to the super strong plastic bag in the garbage bin. Weirder still is Jack's conversation with the Girl with Dragon Tattoo, whose name(s) I cannot remember.

"Somebody just tried to kill me, therefore it's your ex-boyfriend Max". Kind of jumping to conclusions, but still ... there goes GDT spinning another story and Jack telling her "How am I supposed to trust you?" Good question Jack, I guess you'd better not.

Then I'd like to know exactly how things work in the CIA, when Jack and his ex-boss barge in the COS office, who promptly obliges to do as ordered and even shares private info with them. The guys get bonding on the way, but in the last scene Greer is back to his grumpy self, even more than necessary. It's like the guy has a double personality. However, flimsy and even ridiculous as the plot may be, it's kind of entertaining. And of course, the South Americans are all slimy charm and perpetual backstabbing.
