This review of Jack Ryan covers just the first episode of Season 2 because only a bad case of morbid curiosity will ever force me to tune in to this show again.
The plot is set in Venezuela. Just like in real life, this oil-rich country goes through a terrible economic and political crisis. As a savvy consumer of progressive news outlets, you may be puzzled about why the formerly richest country in South America has sunk into poverty, crime, and corruption. Don't fret, our comrades in Hollywood and Amazon Prime will quickly unpuzzle you.
You see, Venezuela is collapsing because it has elected a "nationalist" president. That's right. His policies are as nationalistic and capitalistic as those of Trump and Hitler before him. This has plunged Venezuela into a dark, Orwellian hellhole. Not only does this story explain recent history in easy to understand terms, it also serves as a dire warning: if we don't overthrow Trump and let him be reelected, the U.S. will soon be as darkly Orwellian as Venezuela.
But not all is lost, comrades! Venezuela has a progressive opposition leader, a woman and a democratic socialist in a Che Guevara shirt. Her name may not be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but she has the support of pot-smoking millennials, whom rich military leaders belittle as "lefties." And everyone knows that if only Venezuela had a socialist government, it would quickly end every crisis and establish prosperity, equality, and justice.
JACK RYAN, SEASON is about the brave deep state Hollywood analyst Eric Ciaramella, played by Jim Halpert from The Office. Or is it Jack Ryan? It's hard to tell. What matters is that he's a social justice warrior helping to make Venezuela socialist again.
Most importantly, the main character is the brave deep state CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, played by Jim Halpert from The Office. Or is it Jack Ryan? It's hard to tell, but individuals don't really matter, do they? What matters is that, like every Hollywood analyst, Jack is a social justice warrior in the mold of John Brennan, James Clapper, and Valery Plame. Once in Venezuela, he is being hunted down by the murderous Faceless Man from Game of Thrones, who turns out to be a terrorist and an agent of American imperialism. No local man, of course, is capable of doing anything so evil.
If I ever build up the stamina to keep watching the show, I'll expect Jack Ryan to enter into a consensual camaraderie with Venezuela's AOC, whereby they will selflessly and courageously deploy state-approved contraceptives to avoid being punished with a baby, which is so bourgeois.
The series seems to be a useful addition to the progressive narrative, explainsing to the masses that the source of all problems is capitalistic nationalism, while the only remedy is democratic socialism. By making all of us root for socialists in this struggle, it reaffirms Lenin's immortal words that "of all the arts the most important for us is the cinema" as the most effective medium for educating the masses in the ways, means and successes of communism.
