I was anticipating this new season of Jack Ryan.
Season 3 of Jack Ryan was really great.
Pros: This season has a ton of twists & turns throughout. You felt a lot of the drama & tension grabbing moments that goes on. The settings of both Czech Republic and Russia do add much to the season this time around. Every actor worked their butt-off this season including the Russian side characters. Each of the new characters did surprise me that because I thought “He or She might go one way and instead going the other way” and I was impressed how they handled the main storyline.
Cons: The Russians do get there arses handed to them. At times it did get difficult to keep up with the other plotlines. My other issue is to do with run-times for each episode being too dragging.
Casts & characters:
Main
