Anyone started on Jack Ryan yet? I've done the first two episodes so far and will likely binge the rest this weekend.
So far so good, first impressions are is it's like how Homeland should be, or would be without Carrie angst but with a small side order of non cheesy early Strike Back action (if that can be a compliment)
Started it last night and think it's great so far.So far so good, first impressions are is it's like how Homeland should be, or would be without Carrie angst but with a small side order of non cheesy early Strike Back action (if that can be a compliment)

Im new to Prime, so which of the following should I watch first?
Preacher
Goliath
Startup
Bosch
Preacher - We've just finished Season 1 and moved straight onto Season 2. The first couple of episodes we weren't entirely sure what it was all about but we soon got into it and now can't stop watching it!Preacher
Goliath
Startup
Bosch
Goliath - I loved both seasons of this. In my eyes it's Billy Bob Thornton playing Bad Santa the lawyer! Can't wait for Season 3.
Bosch - Loved the first couple of seasons and then kind of lost interest. Tried watching the third season a couple of times and found myself staring at my phone rather than the tv quite a lot.
If I was starting again I'd start with Preacher, then Bosch and finish with Goliath. By the time you've watched the first two shows the third season of Goliath might nearly be out.

Ryan.... binged. Excellent I thought. No spoilers from me but some real eye opening twists in there. Good writing
I've one left to go. I thought the opening couple of episodes were a but by the numbers and some obvious twists, I was worried it was going to be like later series of 24. When it go into it's stride though it's been really good. I like the way they've treated the baddies. They're bad, but also tragic and you can partially empathise with them.Season 2 already confirmed which is good new.
Main actor is married to Emily Blunt. Lucky man!

Very impressed, thoroughly enjoyable viewing and the quality was maintained from start to finish.Whilst I did enjoy Jack Ryan and look forward to more series, I didn’t “warm” to him - maybe poor acting or script, however, I did think the Mum and also the girlfriend was done well as was the main baddy. They seemed to rush the last 2 episodes though - spread it out over the last 3/4 episodes or have 11/12 episodes to keep the right pace.
