The previews looked good, loved Tom Clancy's books. Someone once described them as "techobabble" because he went into such detail on military equipment.

This show isn't based on anything Clancy wrote. It is just using his character, Jack Ryan. Still, it looks like a fun '24' like thrill ride. Maybe with Jack Ryan being a bit more subtle than Jack Bauer.

I'm assuming that Clancy's estate sold the right to the Jack Ryan name. Pity.

I read all of Clancy's Original books. After he passed and/or the ones he had Co-authors on I wasn't too crazy about. As for the Films, Clancy voiced his disapproval of Harrison Ford taking over as Jack Ryan after Red October. He pretty much just let them have the film rights but he said he didn't want anything to do with them anymore. Note the total evisceration of Sum of all Fears as the movie had next to nothing to do with the book anymore. Overall I think Clancy made More off selling the Video Game rights over what he got from Hollywood. I might Try to watch the TV show but I'm not holding out any hope for it and may just skip it outright.
