But I do not get why they had to bring up the annoyingly whimsy drone pilot.

That is the only chringe path, everything else is awesome. The plots aren't hard to understand, but they aren't built for morons like in most series nowadays.

And you maybe have to check twice the Executive Producer Michael Bay is really THE Michael Bay of fame, because it is definitly not overloaded with explosions and lame gags.

Some people dislike the second season and I'm not one of them. It is different, but the continuity of the main story is great and imo spans flawless between season one and two.

I am a huge fan of all the Jack Ryan movies and Krasinski is without doubt level with Harrison Ford.
