Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is possibly the best action show I’ve watched this year.
Available on Prime Video, Amazons Netflix competitor. The show follows CIA analyst Jack Ryan across Europe and the Middle East as he hunts down the leader of a sophisticated a terrorist organisation. Dragged away from his desk job, Jack Ryan struggles with the reality of fieldwork and the impact conflict has on people on both sides.
The story, acting and production quality are all top notch. The first season is a short, yet action-packed 8 episodes long – making it perfect to binge watch this weekend.
If you’re keen to watch Jack Ryan, you can watch it free today by signing up for a Prime free trial.
Not convinced? Just watch the trailer…
If you’re not in the mood for an action series, I’d also thoroughly recommend watching a series of interviews Letterman has done for Netflix, or the new British crime series Bodyguard.
