“These are coordinates.” It seems just a bit too easy.
This season has been solid, but not quite as good as good or engaging as I remember previous seasons to be. There are a lot of different people in a lot of different places and we'll spend like 30 seconds in one location for two lines of dialogue before switching somewhere else for another couple of lines before switching somewhere else, and that cycle repeats quite often this season. It's moving at an incredibly rapid pace to get through everything in a shortened season. It's actually paced pretty nicely because they understand they have to move quickly to get through everything, but it definitely could use a longer season and more time to breathe. John Krasinski still shines as Jack Ryan and the supporting characters carried over from the previous seasons are still good. I was very skeptical of Michael Peña playing this very serious character, but the more we get of him the more I think it works. There's some emotional beats that are falling flat like Chao Fah's side of the story with his family. Overall, this is still solid spy thriller TV and I'm enjoying my time with it but it does feel a bit generic and less interesting of a story compared to previous seasons.
"Be right back?!"
Ryan finally found someone as unpredictable as him in Chavez :D
Okay, 2 episodes to go... now, they shoot up Dubrovnik, and follow to some mysterious coordinates. Chao Fah meets with Cathy's contact who isn't actually fighting human trafficking, so she's going to get pulled (finally) into this. And Wright's close to deciding who cares and drop Ryan et al because her confirmation might not go through otherwise. Greer's trying to connect the dots in Washington but meets with an assassination attempt.
I really miss the story telling of seasons 1+2... here with season 4 I feel as though the plot was laid out from the beginning, and all of the characters are simply rushing through to the end. Again, no real twists, no real turns, therefore no suspense.
Coolest selfie i've ever seen.

So far this season is missing that extra bit of magic the prior seasons had. It has it's cool moments, but the story just isn't it for me.
