I finished it as well and it was really good. My initial thought that I was underwhelming was due to the subtitles. Once I got used to actually sitting and reading a large part of the dialog, it was really good.

Finished. Yeah there is a lot of reading dialog. Thats the trend though. It has always been weird when non-native speakers are speaking English when no one in the scene speaks English as a first language.

The other issue some may have that are not familiar with the books is that in the Jack Ryan books there is action scenes but were never "Mission Impossible" or "Jason Bourne" action driven first stories.

Reminded me of Babylon Berlin, which has been confirmed for another season.

Finished it.

First half of season was really good.

Second half not as good but still somewhat solid.

Totally agree. I enjoyed it overall, but the writing in the second half of the season wasn't as good. They're overselling/forcing Greer's religion and there is a good amount of overacting.

I agree, and I think they were really pushing the 'not all Muslims are terrorists' narrative hard with that.

I didn’t think it was so bad. I thought they forced the Greer character to be a hardass for the sake of being a hardass more than they forced the religion.

As far as overacting I hope you’re not talking about Soulemons family. That seemed right on.

I thought it had a nice balance of pure evil and how it came about. There are holes and weakness but I thought they handled the character side pretty well.
