Oof, John Krasinski it wholly unconvincing whenever he has to be tough or show some spine.

Ep 2, so happy to see the return of CTU perimeters where the main baddie can walk out of easily, unnoticed by anyone not named Jack

And then he just sorta let's him get away. Shows should have better writing than this in 2018.

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.

Yeah, those French SWAT guys were totally owned by what looked like 5 teenagers who were smoking pot 30 seconds ago.

Krasinski is the worst element of the show for me, even more than the sloppy writing. He seems like a nice guy in real life, but he just doesn't have the range to pull off the self-serious, tortured bad-rear end. I'll probably keep watching just for Wendell Pierce.

saw the first episode and it was meh. Does it get any better. Also, why didn't they just shoot him as they were exiting the room at the end? It doesn't seem like he would be able to lob a grenade down the hallway when he has 5 rounds in his chest/head.

That's about par for the course for the whole series.
