Jack Ryan Closeout Spectacular
Episodes seven and eight manage to continue Jack Ryan‘s uneven trend. A final showdown in which the villain’s plan slowly unravels, and an ultimate confrontation resolved though the sort of cunning instincts we’ve seen from Jack Ryan cap things off in a satisfying manner, even as these last two...
