Nah! condor was in a league of its own, I still found myself able to predict the next move of Jack Ryan, but condor is really different.. Condor is a thriller.
Jack ryan has more quality and more believable. Condor is like reading a pure fiction. If I had watched Jack ryan first, I wouldn't have been be able to finish Condor because everything about it screams low budget. The most annoying part is Joubert managed to walk away scot free. nonsense and ingredients.

There is nothing "amateurish" about condor. If for nothing, you should know condor has an approval rating of 90% as against the 72% of Jack Ryan on Rotten Tomatoes, with both also pulling the same score on metacritic.
If condor is your idea of a low budget show, then you obviously don't know what a low budget show really is.
I don't really understand what you mean by "Jack Ryan being more believable" or "condor likened to reading fiction" since both shows are wholly based on novels and their movie adaptations.
To your remark about Jack Ryan having more "quality", I assume you mean more fanciful which would explain your erroneous comment about condor being a low budget show.
concerning Joubert, one can only assume (rightly) that she has a much larger role to play in the shows second season.
PS; There is actually not a whole lot of ground for comparing the two shows, for while they may be of the same genre, they are very different shows. The fact that you prefer one to the other does not make the other less than what it is.

Woke up this morning to this. Too much grammar, and for what? Who cares about what rotten tomatoes think? Their ratings are wack and don't in any way reflect the taste of the common man. go on, continue to to base the foundation of your argument on professional mercenaries that are paid to rate shows. well done.

Anyways Condor sucks. too fantastical. Too much plot holes the size of atlantic ocean but the one that really grabbed my attention was the deadman switch arch. She is supposed to instruct her lawyer to release the content to every major news outlet in the world, but he released it to a Cia controlled news outlet? nonsense and plenty ingredients. How could a car somersault fatally and the two occupants get to walk away with not even a single broken bone or concussion? Rubbish.

Condor sucks dude and using rotten tomatoes to back you up won't change the fact. give it a few more weeks and even your precious rotten tomatoes will rate Jack ryan higher.

Hmmm. Bro, Jack Ryan is okay-ish, just like Condor. None of them are masterpieces, but as political action thrillers, they're adequate. Certainly not enough cigar in both to inspire the ridiculing. So, pipe down, will ya?

In the books, he's not exactly an extrovert, but he is very brilliant, just like his Dad. Kransiski nailed the character, but there is room for improvement. Hopefully, season 2 will fix that.

Ikr, His role as POTUS in "The Bear and the Dragon" was lit! It's why I decided to watch this one in the first place. I personally don't like that guy (Kransiski), something about his facial features, doesn't fit that character at all. Hopefully, there will be an improvement in the next season.

Blacklist is very good... It's crime / drama / thriller... Orphan Black is very good too.. Its Thriller / Mystery.... Sense8 is very good too... Its Sci-Fi / Thriller... The Good Wife is very good too... Its a political drama, forget the name, it's all about the nuances of American politics.. I haven't seen the Good Wife though but it has one of the highest top-rank reviews on IMBD..So I plan to buy all the seasons and binge watch. I have seen all the others... Very good...

I have only seen 3 episodes,but I can tell anyone who cares to listen that Jack Ryan is far better than Condor. Couldn't get myself to finish Condor after 6 episodes.

I think it did. Jack Ryan from the novels was certainly not a handsome fella. His best asset was his brilliant analytical mind.

An average CIA analyst should stereotypically come with a face that is both studious and nerdy looking, and Kransiski has a nerdy gaunt face. It's a match made somewhere between Tom Clancy novels and Amazon Prime Studios. I think it's a brilliant casting.

Being unable to know what's coming next is what makes it even more interesting, the suspense about what's coming next is overwhelming..

And journey walking away is more of a real life thingy where the bad man always wins 95 in 100 times.

I was involved in an accident like that on the 1st of March this year on the way to Cotonou, our car somersaulted over 5 times, but we both got out without even a single scratch, and I wasn't even using a seatbelt, so there's no point about the accident, And about the issue of the dead man's switch, the CIA definitely knew about that, that was why it was controlled, because the reputation of the nation is far greater than that of just one person..

Bro! You need deeper insight no offence
Both are great series actually
The only difference is condor is more of a slow burner.....
In terms of predictability.... Jack ryan was more predictable
So many unpredictable deaths and scenes in condor... Like joubert saving the day... When there seems to be no option
Or the death of gabriels crew.... In fact most deaths in the series ain't predictable.... Joubert shooting at a fast moving car... Killing joe's accomplice in the process

There is no point comparing both, they different, and both are great series... Jack Ryan is more terrorism related.... That's exciting alone


Anyways.... 3 episodes in on bodyguard
I have had several orgasms..... Been a while i have been this excited while watching a series

I wish they can sustain the thrill sha

Furthermore..... It's a fact British series are way better than their American counterpart

Before you can see one trashy british series.... You must have seen at least 50 trashy American series grin
