Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Season 2 @PrimeVideoIN #JackRyan #Thriller

Hi Friends, 

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is back in Season 2 with more action and a new story of financial transactions encompassing new regions of the world. The whole setup is moved from the Middle East to South America and Europe this time around with the backdrop of economic conditions of Venezuela and how the democracy is slowly converting into a dictatorship.

Jack Ryan played by John Krasinski wears a bearded look throughout Season 2. A series of new characters are showcased in this part as the location was a little different from the last season. Jordi Molla plays Nicolas Reyes as the President of Venezuela and Christina Umana as Gloria Bonalde who is getting popularity of the people as the contender in the upcoming Venezuelan Presidential Elections. Noomi Rapace (The girl who played with fire series fame) as Harriet, a mysterious character that is later revealed to be the German agent. Michael Kelly (House of Cards fame) plays Mike November as the CIA Station Chief in Venezuela and Wendell Pierce reprises as James Greer in this part of the series too.

If you have not watched the first season and directly watching Season 2, you will most definitely like this fast-paced season set in Venezuela but if you have watched Season 1, then you will be a little disappointed in this season. Though this one has everything from action, mystery, espionage, breaking from captivity, great locations, tyranny, and other things it's not as great as Season 1. But because of the popularity of the web series, many Hollywood stars are acting in this Season like Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy and Mummy Returns fame) who is a South African actor by the way. Tom Wlaschiha plays the role of Max Schenkel as one of the characters who keep racing from Venezuela to London and Jack Ryan follows him through.

In Season 2, it is difficult to identify who is the real enemy as many countries and companies are investing in Venezuela. Till the end, the web series will keep you on the edge of your seat as Greer gets caught by the enemy and Jack tries to save him using all his might. The season is highly enjoyable if you love the Spanish language as there are so many dialogues in the local language. Overall, Jack Ryan Season 2 is worth binging on Amazon Prime Video and you can watch the same this coming weekend in case not watched till now. RATING 3.5/5

#TheLifesWayReviews Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan Season 1 @PrimeVideoIN #JackRyan #Thriller

Hi Friends, 

My wife motivated me to watch this amazing Crime, Thriller, and Espionage kind of series on Amazon Prime Video and man I totally loved Season 1 where Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan tries to find this imaginative criminal named Suleiman. The series has 8 episodes and was released on 31st August 2018 so it's been there for a while. I earlier watched the movie on my flight from India to Johannesburg but didn't find it much interesting so I had an opinion about this web series without giving it any other chance. So are our perceptions built on first impressions and it takes a lifetime to break them too. 

Dr. Jack Ryan is played by John Krasinski who is a Financial Analyst in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a Marine Veteran earlier deployed in Afghanistan. The man not only looks great in this season but well built too. More reading told me that he is married to Emily Blunt and they were together in the movie A Quiet Place and also Director, Writer, and Producers. His strong personality is showcased greatly in the movie along with his conviction and self faith on truth and what's best for the greater good.

Jack reports to his boss James Greer at T-FAD played by Wendell Pierce and together they go on a journey showcased for the viewers as they get glued on the edge of their seats. The first season is totally worthy of binge-watching and I spent my weekend on the same starting on Friday night and the first season ended by lunchtime on Saturday. Ali Suliman plays Mousa bin Suleiman and Dina Shihabi plays his wife role of Hanin Ali. Abbie Cornish plays the love interest of Dr. Jack Ryan as Dr. Cathy Muller. The chemistry between them is totally worth watching and keeps you engaged throughout the series as it slowly unfolds. Haaz Sleiman plays the younger brother of Suleiman along with several other artists who have played their part really well in the series. 

The story takes you on the life-changing events as Jack Ryan finds himself in action once again after a job behind a desk analyzing the financial transactions and overcoming his past inhibitions and the ability to speak up even in front of the POTUS for what he thinks is right. Go on the journey of how a series of financial transactions can lead to finding the location of the terrorists and what they are planning next? The overall acting and action mix together to create an enigma which audience will enjoy and the storyline never becomes tiring to watch. The events keep on happening in all the 8 episodes which makes you watch from one episode to another and you will definitely enjoy this thrilling ride of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan in Season 1. RATING 4/5
