Jack Ryan season 1 episode 5 End of Honor

      After the horrific Paris church attack, Jack and Greer discover a deeper strategy behind Suleiman’s actions.  This forces Jack to suggest an unusual trap for him.  Hanin faces new challenges in her quest for freedom.  Viewers have their first look at Suleiman’s past outside of his childhood and why he became so angry at the system.  He worked hard to get out of poverty in France and in return, he was shut out of every job opportunity because of his name.  It’s easy to understand why he eventually turned to extremism.  Jack makes it clear that Suleiman's life could have been much different because of the advantages he had!!

     At his compound, Suleiman is training his soldiers to be prepared in battle.  He’s made the international airwaves after releasing a video taking responsibility for the Paris attack.  On top of that, he’s also created two propaganda videos to recruit new members.  This is something Jack is terrified about!!  It’s easy to see why so many of these men will line up to follow Suleiman.  Unlike the previous leader, he exercises kindness with all of his men.  He offers them food, water, fresh clothing and he does appear to genuinely care about their well-being.  5 1/2* (I really liked this episode)
