Venezuela is a mess thanks to socialism IN REAL LIFE but the show shows the opposite.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

Loved Season 1 and, as a Venezuelan, was excited to see if the show would showcase the socialist nightmare that my country is but it was not the case.

The show has the BALLS to make the the opposition candidate a leftist social and treat it as a "hero" which is the COMPLETELY OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN VENEZUELA. I have no words.

Socialism killed Venezuela and you shouldn't be afraid to say that.

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

While season 1 had its fair share of the usual SJW politics injected into it that we can expect in anything that comes out of Hollywood these days (yeah it pretty much ruined Marvel movies), overall it was at least entertaining and I tolerated the SJW BS in it. So, pretty much the whole premise for season 2 starts out explaining how Venezuela has all of these valuable resources but has been driven into poverty by wait for it....the horrible "nationalist" leader, who is being opposed in an upcoming election by a righteous heroic female champion of social justice policies. Ok, it's one thing when you create some fictional scenario because it serves the plot of the show and just creates an overall better storyline, but when you go out of your way to side step reality for no other reason than to avoid saying anything bad about socialism, yeah you've clearly lost. What's really sad is that the stark reality of the failure of Venezuela already exists in real life, they didn't really have to make up their own version of it, and it is 100% due to the failures of socialism. Of course they couldn't put that in the show, because they want to use socialism to solidify the power of the ruling class in America, so they had to change it. Oh I know, let's make it so that the horrible dictator guy who ruined Venezuela is a nationalist, and then we'll make all these underhanded comparisons to Trump, and we'll prop up our fictional hero politician to beat him as a righteous purveyor of socialism, nevermind the fact that socialism actually killed Venezuela. I shut it off the moment that absurdity was uttered by Jim Halpert and honestly he should be ashamed of himself as an actor for playing along with this nonsense. You want to depict the dangers of the failed state of Venezuela to the world, fiction or not at least have enough respect for the people there who are starving to death and enough courage to point out that socialism is what killed them.

so we are whitewashing over the fact that Venezuela is communist???

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019

Wait, they talk about the failing state of Venezuela, which is fine (because it's true). So why do they decide to change the truth and say it's failing because of a fictional "nationalist" president and that the country's only hope is the next presidential candidate, because she is a "Social Justice Warrior"!!! Why not stick with the truth, that it's failing because of a COMMUNIST regime that will not allow elections who originally used the guise of "social justice" to gain power in the first place. If Amazon is so worried about showing the truth about Venezuela and the fact that it is socialism that has killed tens of thousands there, then they should not have made them the big bad for the season.

Innacurately presents the Socialist president of Venezuela as right wing

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019

This show presents the Socialist president of Venezuala as right-wing and his opponents as socialists. This is pure leftist propaganda. NIcholas Maduro is leader of the United Socialist Party of Venezuala, a hand picked successor to the leftist Hugo Chavez.
I know you can take liberties with fiction, but this leaves a totally inaccurate impression about the source of Venezuela's collapse. Socialist policies that give the government more control of the economy lead to dictators taking control and the economic decay you see everywhere a free market system is not used.
I know media and particularly amazon video has an overabundance of leftists but this is ridiculous.

NOT TOM Clancy's Jack Ryan

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2019

I will do a pre-emptive strike for those who may not have seen all the disappointed reviews of season 1 or may use this as a basis for reading the excellent books that portray the "real" Jack Ryan and all the other characters so badly done in this in name only series.

First except for the character names NONE of the storylines or character backgrounds and personalities even come close to those in the books and on film simply watch any Harrison Ford version or even The hunt for red October. I do not recommend ben Affleck as they hacked his version up as well.

On the bright side season one is actually a pretty good watch if you ignore the idea that the characters have anything to do with Clancy or follows any cannon. They should have just named it something else and called the main character john smith.

Insertion of our current political climate

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

I anxiously awaited Season 2 because I really enjoyed Season 1. I am familiar with the character, Jack Ryan, having read the books and watched the older movies starring Harrison Ford. I find it is no accident that antagonist of this movie not only uses the color red for his supporters to wear but that much of his nationalist rhetoric is used to spin a particular narrative. I do not appreciate trying to be manipulated in this manner so I found the second season to be a major disappointment.

Over and over again we as consumers/customers are forced to slog through agenda after agenda inserted into our forms of entertainment whether it be books, video games, televisions shows, movies or comic books. It is getting tedious and I will vote it down every chance I get. I do not care what your political leanings are. I don't want it in my entertainment.

Not worth your 4 dollars

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

A take on modern day Venezuela. Only it's somehow not a socialist country... That was just written out, and replaced by an evil right-wing government. Oh but there's a political opponent that we are supposed to root for- who is a socialist "social justice advocate."

Just another show that overtly pushes a political agenda. Non-nonsensical, vapid, and pointless.

Kein Vergleich zu Staffel 1

Reviewed in Germany on September 25, 2020

Die Staffel 1 war großartig das hier war beliebigstes Serienfutter.
Kombiniert mit einem fiktiven System im realen Venezuela kam bei mir eine Mischung aus Unglauben
und Wut über diese Geschichtsschreibung / Fälschung zusammen die es kombiniert mit den
massiven Drehbuchschwächen zu einem nicht empfehlenswereten Produkt machen.
Nicht überall wo Jack Ryan und Clncy draufsteht ist halt Jack Ryan drin.

Un ton en-dessous de la saison 1.

Reviewed in France on February 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

Grosso modo, la qualité générale de cette saison 2 est bonne mais un peu inférieure à la saison 1.

Cette fois, Jack Ryan et ses collègues de la CIA sont confrontés au dictateur du Venezuela sur fond de tensions électorales et de gisements miniers illégaux.

L'intrigue est intéressante mais elle comporte moins de tension et d'action que lors de la saison 1 lorsque des terroristes islamistes menaçaient la sécurité des USA. Cette 2ème saison comporte également 8 épisodes et la qualité de la réalisation, des décors, ... est vraiment bonne.

Encore une fois, cette série est dans l'esprit des romans de Tom Clancy même si elle ne correspond à aucun roman en particulier. Le style de Tom Clancy est présent et plaira autant aux fans de la 1ère heure qu'à ceux qui découvrent l'univers de cet écrivain.

Un bémol toutefois avec la disparition du personnage de Cathy Mueller (la future femme de Jack Ryan) sans qu'aucune explication ne soit fournie. Quand on sait ce qui arrive à ces 2 personnages dans les romans, on peut s'étonner du choix des scénaristes ...

Si vous avez aimé la saison 1 alors vous pouvez vous procurer sans hésiter cette saison 2.

J'espère que mon avis vous aura été utile.

le scénario est très bien ficelé ...

Reviewed in France on October 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

Quelques scènes d'une grande violence, une très belle Noomi Rapace qui n'est pas en reste, un Jack Ryan toujours
à plein régime et un suspens qui ne se dégonfle jamais. On sent la patte du maître de l'espionnage derrière cette intrigue captivante. On est dans la fiction, dans l'espionnage et l'investigation mais tout se tient et fonctionne sur des références géopolitiques et scientifiques crédibles. Pour ma part je ne sais pas si les réserves de métaux rares comme le tantale sont aussi importantes au Vénézuela qu'elle semble l'être pour l'auteur mais de fil en aiguille on est très vite amené à comprendre que la fresque politique exagérée par le rôle du Presidente et de son système d'oppression pseudo démocratique n'est qu'une partie de la problématique.
