Jack Ryan is a CIA analyst and he’s sent on a mission to Venezuela with a US Senator. He is there to bring stability to a country on the brink of collapse. He has been criticized by the government for allegedly promoting an invasion of the country by Americans. Another reason for Ryan to be in the country, is to find out why a potentially suspicious shipment of illegal arms were sent to the Venezuelan jungle. There may be illegal activities under the direction President Nicolas Reyes. A US Special Activities team lands in the country and Jack’s intel leads them to a militia guarded compound. James Greer has left his post in Russian and has arrived in Venezuela. The President and his team are not in office to help the people but themselves. The people of the country can’t get jobs that pay enough for their families to have the food they need for themselves and their children. Gloria Bonalde is running against the President. There is a possibility she will be killed if the polls show her to have a high advantage against the President. Also in the background is a mysterious woman is a shady and super mysterious woman, Harriet Baumann. Maybe she knows more about what is going on than Jack?
I think the first season was better than this season? It seemed more current with what is happening in our world now. Venezuela seems like it hasn’t been bothering the US lately? We do have sanctions that began on 27 July 2017. The government is prohibited from accessing US financial markets. This is in place to minimize the impact on the Venezuelan people and US economic interests. I think some of the things that happen would not really happen? If you were on a secret mission and told to do something, would you not do it and go your own way? Wouldn’t you think about your own safety and the safety of others that would be at risk to look for you? 3* (This season is OK)

Special Note: This season is not based on any of Tom Clancy's novels. CIA Headquarters in Langley Virginia granted the production access to parts of the complex that had never been filmed before. The scenes in Venezuela were actually filmed in Bogota, Colombia. The dog tags say Ryan, Jack P. The character's full name is John Patrick Ryan. Dog tags would have his full correct name. There is a drop of a boat from an airplane and parachutes are used to cushion the impact on the water. This is an authentic procedure that is used.
