Jack Ryan: Falcon (2022)
Episode 1, Season 3
Dial back expectations

For fans of the series, dial back expectations for S3. It's watchable to the end because Krasinski, Pierce, and Kelly powerhouse perform again, the budget is generous, production slick. The problem seems to be a mostly wishy-washy, tired plot arc, coupled with weak scripting (cf. S1,S2), redundant dialogue, scene padding (sometimes lavishly), subtextsplaining (sorry for that), and drab character one-liners (again, cf. S1,S2). The final episode glaringly stands out as the best in the season, so there's that to look forward to. Given that S3 goes to the top of the espionage story tree, that only leaves outer space for S4, so I think we're done here. No matter, there's always the Jack Reacher reboot, and the new The Recruit.
