Here’s what makes Amazon Prime Original series Jack Ryan stand out from the rest

Tom Clancy is a maverick novelist whose work has always been loved by readers. In his prolific career, he wrote a series of powerful characters with Jack Ryan being the most popular among readers. Jack Ryan, who serves as a full-time CIA analyst and an intermittent field officer, has now been adapted into a new Prime Original series. Titled Jack Ryan, the much-awaited series is headlined by popular actor John Krasinski.

The story of Jack Ryan story boasts of many plus points. Besides being full of entertainment, the series also sheds light on a plethora of political and religious conflicts around the world. The story primarily focuses on the unsung heroes who work at lower levels, who go to work every day and try to protect their country. In the Prime Original rendition of Jack Ryan’s tale, he starts as a CIA analyst, handling files. In the process, he comes across a terror organization which unearths a whole new challenge in front of him and the upper echelons of the US government.


The show’s USP lies in its authenticity. Thousands of ammunition, heavy artillery, pistols, machine guns, rifles and more were used under the watchful eyes of an expert team to maintain the texture of the plot. The wardrobe, the props and the armour were all real to make the show look as raw and genuine as possible. Kevin Kent who is a former Navy SEAL Officer & Natalia Lee who is a professional film armourer worked as military tech advisors on the show and have excellent notes to share on using real weapons safely.

Even after resorting to gunfire under extreme safety, the show looks really dangerous and authentic to the point that you feel like you are watching a real event unfold in front of you.

The production scale of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan is enormous, yet authentic. As John Krasinski puts it, “I don’t know if there is any way to categorize what we are working on, it is so massive. It definitely doesn’t feel like television“.

Written and created by Carlton Cuse and Graham Roland in association with Amazon Prime Video, Jack Ryan starts streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 31st August 2018.
