Yeah that makes sense. I just see a lot of incongruence between Jack Ryan’s character (as in the script) where he’s a suave, charismatic seducer of women, and Bond-like master of spying / combat, on one hand, and Krasinski’s natural persona. It’s uncomfortable to watch.
I tried watching it but I hated the star. Matthew Fox is such a fucking pretty boy pussy and terrible actor and I couldn’t convince myself to go on an emotional journey because of that. Also all the characters are incredibly good looking and I felt like I was watching a Gap commercial.
His character is a bit annoying but I'll say part of that is by design, that unfolds with some back story. I just finished season 1.. 25 episodes! And i'm a few episodes into season 2.. Man it gets pretty crazy, and deep. They do a lot of flashbacks to a bunch of characters to develop them, and give history that ties into the current situation, it's cool.
I can see why it was such a huge show during a time when you still had to tune in every week, I remember family being hooked on it. Some of the cliffhangers they leave i'm sure drove people nuts.
I started watching Lost on Netflix... I had never watched it before, I had family that was super into it when it aired originally. I'm like 4 episodes in, pretty good so far. One thing that bugs me is the shaky camera at time is annoying.
I just finished this, and I'll say that is not a quick binge-watch. I was 4 episodes in on Feb 13th, I just finished up March 19th, today. 121 episodes at 45-50-ish minutes each, 92 hours of TV. Holy shit! It was really good IMO, there are some issues, bad episodes/characters etc. but overall I liked it a lot.
