Will You Be Watching Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan?

Ozbargain, will you be watching the new Amazon Prime Video series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan? It's been in the works for years and Amazon and Jeff Bezos have spent BIG money on it including advertising which has been very prevalent around Australian cities. It started streaming today on Amazon Prime Video, which is included for free with Prime Membership. Stars John Krasinski from the US Office if you know him.

  • If only they allowed 4k streaming on PC.

    • I have a 4k Media Centre PC and was irked about this and the stereo sound. Using the App on Smart TV is actually decent once got the audio going back to receiver from it, full 4k and HDR.

      • It's only on select TV's. My TV is quite old and rarely used, bit sad by their decision. The only other way is torrents that I'd like to refrain from.

  • John Krasinski

    No Harrison Ford or Chris Pine.

    • The missus reckons he's better looking than both of them

      • I'm imagining a lot of long stares into the camera.

    Managed to avoid any advertising which is nice.

    I'm guessing this is yet another portrayal of American military/intelligence being heroic despite the reality that the US is repeatedly committing war crimes including 8 conflicts since 2001, torturing prisoners and currently aiding Saudia Arabia in carrying out siege warfare (a war crime) in Yemen.

      Not sure if your comments apply to this show (as they certainly would about most U.S. war porn shows) but they are true nonetheless. Not sure why the negs…I gave you a thumbs up anyway FWIW. :)

        So far it looks like Diji was on the money, U.S. war-porn set in Yemen probably as a pre-emptive propaganda attempt for when people start becoming aware of the atrocities being committed by the U.S. and it's Saudi allies there. (only saw the first ep though.)

    Longtime fan of the book series (at least the earlier ones actually written by Clancy) so I'll definitely give it a try and see if it's any good.

    Only if Pam is also in there. Otherwise that's what she said.

  • I am only going to watch one episode to get my free twitch bits :)
