It's disappointing when you take a character as beloved and respected as Jack Ryan and put him in a film and end up having to sensationalize the content instead of creating intriguing material.
Season 4 lasted about 17 minutes for me. The oft-seen, desperate-instead-of-shocking events belittle the intelligence of the consumer. I am a fan of John Krazinski, but he is no Jack Ryan. Ben Affleck and Harrison Ford embody the role, even Chris Pine does fairly well. Krasinski, sadly, is simply not believable.
The first three seasons were mediocre. I'm glad Season 4 is the end, and I'm glad I wasted only 17 minutes on it. I hope to see a new and more plausible Jack Ryan emerge from the ashes later this decade.
