I started watching an Amazon Original called Jack Ryan written by Tom Clancy. I'm only 2 episodes into it but so far it looks pretty good. Have any of you watched it? Is it worth watching the rest of it?
I've seen a few movies based on Tom Clancy books and they have been pretty good. I liked reading some of his books too, so I am hoping this stays good.
I like to give shows at least 3 episodes before I decide if it is worth watching the whole series.
Have you seen anything really good lately that I should check out?

I haven't seen that. I knew of the books but not of the show. I'm currently watching Umbrella Academy. It's really weird (in a good way). I wasn't sure if it was being over-hyped so I avoided it for a while but then it was my brother-in-law, I think, who recommended it. I usually take notice of his recommendations as I've enjoyed most of the same things. We recently watched Haunting of Hill House, which was quite good but I felt like there was a lot more story I'd like to have known.
Umbrella Academy is certainly different. It's kind of anti-superhero - a messed up family with ordinary lives but with special powers. It's strange, I like it!

@Bensen32 It's hard to really explain what it's about, especially without giving away too many spoilers! I suppose you might call it a different take on the superhero saves the world idea. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
