Ranking Jack Ryan's 4 seasons on Amazon.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Separating the best seasons of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan from the worst requires more than just a head for numbers and a blatant disregard for authority, whatever Jack himself might say. From Harrison Ford to Chris Pine, many A-list actors have played the role of Jack Ryan, and John Krasinski joined that prestigious list when he made the surprise switch from comedy to action for Amazon's TV adaptation in 2018.
To make matters worse, Jack Ryan season 4 was 2 episodes shorter than John Krasinski's previous outings, making an already complex plot even harder to follow. The villainous masterplan blurred into a haze of unclear motivations and stern glares, major revelations fell flat, and the suspense Jack Ryan had previously been renowned for collapsed under the frenetic pacing and disconcerting lack of logic.
Jack Ryan Season 2 A Sophomore Dip As Ryan Got More Political With its inherently political main storyline, Jack Ryan season 2 was always destined to provide a less immediately satisfying experience compared to season 1. Moreover, removing John Krasinski's character from his CIA desk job and transforming him into a "proper" spy killed the underdog, fish-out-of-water elements that worked so well in season 1.
Jack Ryan season 2 still brought more to the table than the troubled season 4, however. The jungle mission, and the major death that came from that, gripped tightly before tugging at the heartstrings, while the embassy escape ranks among Jack Ryan's very best action sequences. The sneering President Reyes, played by Jordi Mollà, took no effort to detest, and being an out-and-out baddie stood Reyes apart from the more humanized Suleiman from season 1.
The action heated up nicely for Jack Ryan's third outing. The threat of a nuclear explosion - eventually prevented by a ground-and-air pincer and a brilliantly inventive tunnel run - gave Jack his highest stakes yet, and the set pieces rose to meet that increased scale and danger. The Cold War climax, in which US and Russian vessels faced each other in a tense standoff, carried a strong moral message and tension aplenty, bringing proceedings to a suitably epic finish.
Suleiman himself was never topped as a villain. Far from the one-dimensional caricatures western media typically opts for, Suleiman received proper characterization. No amount of tragic backstory justified his violent schemes, but Ali Suliman's character would remain Jack Ryan's most nuanced and balanced enemy until the very end.
