So many things wrong...
First thing I noticed was the cursing. Totally unnecessary and makes the characters sound stupid. Second is the nudity. Also totally unnecessary... and there is one scene (so far) in episode three that makes no sense and only serves to make an Air Force drone pilot look bad. Third, the series deviates so far from the books and the movies that Tom Clancy must be rolling over in his grave in an attempt to push his way out so he can sue the producers of this garbage. For instance, Jack Ryan's character is supposed to be an analyst who has no desire to be a field man... so this whole "wolf" business is totally wrong. Him getting getting sent for by a helicopter, taking the CIA jet overseas (more than once) and riding helos into military compounds (that don't exist? Pure fantasy...) is so far out of Ryan's character that it makes it impossible to like the series. Unfortunately, it doesn't end there. Greer's character is going through a divorce, apparently. Oh, and he's a Muslim? Seriously? Because he converted for his wife? Oh... and he and Ryan don't get along. Greer doesn't know or trust Ryan (after three episodes, anyway). And Greer's being held back? This is so moronic and off track from the books (and movies) it's just plain frustrating to watch. I get the whole bit about wanting us to see things from two sides, but this is not presenting both sides. Some Hollywood lib who probably graduated with a degree from a California university in religious studies is probably the storyboard person or the screenwriter. America, bad (with a few exceptions)... Muslims good (with few exceptions). Please! I gave it three episodes and am extremely disappointed with the way the story has taken this hard left. I may watch more, but certainly won't binge. And I'll be FFwd through the trash. And if the story doesn't come back to center soon, I'll abandon this junk and tune into something decent and not hell bent on trashing Tom Clancy's brilliant plot lines.
