So.
Jack Ryan. As a guy who both "does SQL" and "shoots guns", this show did both of those things pretty bad. Not the worst I've ever seen, but sometimes the absurd gunplay would just take me right out of immersion, and any time they touched a computer I wanted to Ace Ventura talk out my ass at the screen, since that's what they were doing.
I also assume that the drone guy would be brought up on charges so fast his head would spin, but they were just like "meh, shit happens, back in the chair homie!"
I hope they improve that garbage for the second season. It's not hard. Semi-auto pistols don't go "click" when they're empty. No tactical team on earth would run rifles that take the same caliber but different mags. A white guy who doesn't speak the local language with a black duffel bag full of cash doesn't last 10 minutes in Idlib or where-the-fuck-ever they were dropping bombs. I get that it's fiction but it's set in the real world y'all.
