"Jack Ryan"

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Sat Sep 01, 2018 4:46 am

I'm 95% through episode two of this Amazon Prime series. As a whole it's good, but I just saw a huge goof: Talking about transferring money via SIM cards. WTF!!

And immediately after that, he chambers a round in a pistol that he's been given right after the guy who gave it to him did. No cartridge was ejected!

And right after that, is "5-0" slag for the cops in France?

One cop has a white sticker on his back reading "POLICE" pealing off. But yes, "police" is the same in French.

How did so many errors creep in all at once?

I just finished the eighth and last episode of season one. I can't wait until the next one!

There were no more significant goofs.

Are the plots taken or adapted from the books or is it an independent story? --Bob

It's an original story; a reboot. Ryan's background does not match that in "The Hunt for Red October."
