November 3, 20196 yr If Clancy were still alive here in 2019, and and had his ghost writers contracted to write an 8-10 episode season, this wouldn’t be too far off.There you go.

November 3, 20196 yr Lots of clear and present danger similarities but that’s ok that was a bad ass movie.

November 4, 20196 yr I just started season 2 but I tell you that first episode was terrific! I can’t believe they crammed in so much in one episode.
November 4, 20196 yr I'm six in and going to watch the last two today. I've really enjoyed it so far. The soundtrack nicely keeps the suspense up and it has fewer of the unrealistic aspects of S1 that were annoying. All of the actors have been God as well. Good stuff.
November 4, 20196 yr binged it yesterday. I thought it was fantastic action/thriller tv. perfect? no. groundbreaking? no. Reminds me of a more disciplined/higher brow/better written/produced version of strike back, but without the nekkid chicks.

November 4, 20196 yr I downloaded the whole season when I was in Europe last week - it was good enough to binge and to keep me awake on the flight home... Not a spoiler but not enough of the blonde girlfriend compared to last season... Edited November 4, 20196 yr by Grimas
November 4, 20196 yr I'm surprised by all the love here. Season 2 was some of the stupidest shit I've seen in a long time. Different strokes, I guess.

November 5, 20196 yr Episode 1 was a good setup and I agree whit whoever said Amazon gave the producers a big budget.Binging for me waters down the experience. I'm gonna try to watch just 1 episode a week. Will give time to ruminate and maybe rewatch.
November 5, 20196 yr Explain to me what special skill Uber has that warranted being paid $20k to drive a boat.... Also....anyone else notice that the same actor who plays the dilly dilly Bud Light king is the same actor playing Matice?
November 5, 20196 yr I did now that you mention it, I knew I knew him from somewhere - John Hoogenakker. I liked his character.

Not sure but the ability to fix the cracked fiberglass hull seemed to come in handy....... Finished last night, thought this season was much better than the first although I wasn't a huge fan of the last episode, both the climax and the payoff seemed to be a little meh and way to easy to see coming from a mile away. But overall entertaining.

November 5, 20196 yr Thru 2-episodes. Was hoping the assassin would ask for "a name, any name," and be forced to swear by the seven New Gods and the Old Gods beyond counting. So far, so good.
November 5, 20196 yr Agree with Mojo on the stupidity--but how could this be when Tom Clancy is listed as an" Executive Producer."
November 5, 20196 yr Spoiler from the finale... Spoiler So the one part that made me chuckle out loud is in the finale when they are in the Presidential Palace and the CIA Station Chief guy looks at Ryan and says very seriously "Don't go after Reyes, we're not cleared for that", as if they would be cleared to fly a military chopper to the palace and mow down 30 of his soldiers. But don't go after Reyes... Edited November 5, 20196 yr by Chewbacca

I enjoyed it for mindless entertainment. It was definitely stupid. Plot spoiler Spoiler And the plot feels awfully lame. Some Senator and the Venezuelan dictator wanted to make money illegally mining Tantalum in Venezuela? Just feels weak. Not every plot has to be a terrorist attack that gets thwarted, but I expected something more meaningful than that.
November 8, 20196 yr Meh. Liked the first season better. And election tampering, locking up journos,etc. I could go on and on and on.
November 8, 20196 yr i really hate to agree with the ultra-contrarian, everything sucks and i am so superior projection that posts like mojo's in this thread have but on this one...i am seriously wondering if i watched a different show than some of you watched. that was absolutely fucking retarded in virtually every possible way. high quality production value but almost every single element of the story was just eye-roll worthy. i mean, i guess rampant south american government corruption is fairly sensical but the actual plot combined with the deus ex machina that occurs at each crisis just made me laugh repeatedly. but yeah, different strokes for different folks. not gonna yuck on your yum any further.

I agree with your take. High budget with some great location scouts apparently, but with bad/lazy writing... Wants to be Homeland, but can't even compete with the lesser seasons of that series... a let down (for all the hype)

November 12, 20196 yr If this show is even a close representation of the competence of our IC community and special operators we are all royally f**ked.
November 13, 20196 yr I like how the right-wing Venzuelan dictator (fucking lulz) was competent and evil enough to have the Minister of the Interior murdered, and yet was so afraid of losing a democratic election that he tried to buy off his opponent by giving her a Cabinet position Seems to me he'd just fucking have her thrown down a well too
November 13, 20196 yr I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to movies but this one is pretty "meh". That said, it was an OK distraction from the rest of the crap on TV (no CR) Edited November 13, 20196 yr by gecko
November 19, 20196 yr This bullshit show was nothing but propaganda. I couldn't watch it after the totally cheesy infiltration of the ship... ohhh I found a clipboard and safety vest... deep cover mother fuckers! Then they escape running like hell only to stop on a bridge 20 yards away to have a 15 minute plot exposition that no one gives a shit about. Edited November 19, 20196 yr by MissingInAction
November 19, 20196 yr You don't find it realistic that the US would send a single helicopter with a couple of nonmilitary dudes in it to land in the middle of a national capital building to start shooting the place up.
November 19, 20196 yr This show is fucking terrible and stupid and made for mindless idiots and I watched every damn episode fuck me.
November 20, 20196 yr You don't find it realistic that the US would send a single helicopter with a couple of nonmilitary dudes in it to land in the middle of a national capital building to start shooting the place up.I mean when you say it like that. But you gotta admit if Harrison ford ten years younger was the lead it would have been completely believable.
November 20, 20196 yr The show was kind of like fucking a whore. I enjoyed it while it was happening, but afterwards was kind of ashamed I did it.

Not just "the US", but wasn't it the fucking ambassador to Venezuela that sent them? Because ambassadors have a lot of military options at their unilateral disposal. I'm trying to imagine the phone call after the fact explaining military intervention to the President.
December 7, 20196 yr As a big fan of the original books and movies, and as a fan of some of the actors in this series, I really, really want to like this show, but it's ridiculous, & just isn't very good. That shit at the Presidential Palace was just an absolute insult to everyone's intelligence. Edited December 7, 20196 yr by wood
February 25, 20205 yr I'm pretty sure I saw Jim come this close to smirking at the camera in ep 2 or 3. Also, agree with atom above: "Never get out of the fucking boat. Absolutely goddamn right."

February 26, 20205 yr Season 1 was so much better. The plot for S2 was just ridiculous and all over the place. And that Palace ending, SMH
