The prognosis
is not good.


It's like, at least for the action at the end of ep1 and ep2 they didn't talk to a single military or law enforcement expert..

I mean Tom Clancy has problems, but one thing he always did in his origional Ryanverse books was talk to military folks. Sure sometimes it was to wank off with future war stuff but this poo poo never would have flown in a Clancy book.

No, instead he would have spent six pages talking about every single aspect of an Abrams tank or an F-15 or some poo poo.

Sure but like if any show is gonna do that it should be a Tom Clancy show.

I will say I love the look in the last ep that Kathy gives the Secret Service guy as she hits the fire alarm.

Terrorist guy tells his son that the mother is dead but the next episode he says "we're going to save your mother and sisters..."

Yeah kind of strange the son was never mad about that.

I think it was just a clancyism. He would always get into the backstory of some random person with a bunch of detail only to have them be a minor-albeit-key player later on.
