The best new show in the world

Tale

CIA operative Joe tries to balance his personal and professional life as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped create a more authentic execution of weapon handling, house clearing, positioning, squad-based activity, etc… Featured in Premios Soberano (2024).

Great acting by all

After Jack Ryan’s disappointing 4th season and lackluster shows all around, this felt much better in every way. It looks really well done and the action/fight scenes look great.

I also haven’t seen any red flags so far like making every man look incompetent or anything like that

I feel like most of the criticism of this show in the comments section seems to come down to how unrealistic it is because of the whole cameraman thing, and I for one don’t mind a good female led action show it’s an original IP , which doesn’t turn a leading man into a leading woman. Also at first I thought it was going to be more of an action first mindless show but then they kind of dived into the family a bit and I usually cringe at that but I didn’t like what they did there.

It’s fun even without being the History Channel show that some commentators seem to prefer

My only criticism is that the plot of what this particular crew is doing is very limiting to the story and could kill it by going past the season/villain plot…it needs to be more encompassing so they can possibly make a new one , more action-intensive than Homeland, otherwise it risks becoming too episodic like Blacklist.PS: So far Nicole Kidman’s role is incredibly small and uneventful and could have been done by anyone else.. .It will we’ll see what the great Morgan Freeman will bring to the show…But from what I’ve seen so far, the show can stand on its own with Zaldana without another A-Lister.TLDR Overall Cautiously optimistic, but I like what I’m seeing so far, everything is amazing polished and well done.
