S03.E01: The Falcon

Quote

Jack Ryan works as a case officer at the CIA's Rome station and follows a hunch that someone is resurrecting Project Sokol, a Cold War plan to destabilise Europe and start a nuclear war with the US.

I was wondering if anyone was going to set up episode threads - thanks! I watched the first ep this morning. I already need to take a minute to figure out who is who and how they relate. I always find these spy shows interesting in how they are timed with real events. I just realised the characters kept referring to Czech Republic but I thought it went by Czechia the last few years? 
I haven't heard anything about this third season at all.

Is it just me, or does his voice sound really weird and totally NOT like Jon Krazinski?  He didn't change his speech for the last 2 seasons.  I don't like it.  And he doesn't look right, almost like he's had plastic surgery, but he doesn't look younger. 

This season had almost no fanfare.  I just read about it this morning on the Net.

I don't know if it had fanfare but I must have seen ads to know about it.

I thought it was a solid premiere.  I like the European location/scenery.

TV Guide and Amazon informed me.  I saw a promo on regular TV on Monday.

Just a reminder, please use the episode threads to discuss episodes.  The eighth episode of the season can be used as a seasson-long discussion thread.

Good solid set-up episode, lots of action and bloodshed.  It's Michael Bay, so of course. 

John K. has got Ryan's character pretty well fleshed out by now.  He's almost as bad-ass as Jason Bourne.  *LOL*

So does no one in Russia speak Russian anymore?

I also thought he sounded totally different

Bad guys once again don't use the simplest of tactics.  They had the assault rifles and the high ground yet it is former Marine Jack who uses  fire and maneuver to make the great scape. It took me awhile before I could figure out where I saw The Czech president before, I was thinking maybe a child star grown up before I remembered. She was a cop in the Netflix post war Berlin show The Defeated.

We just started watching season 3 and I was shocked when I heard him speak. I had to do a double take to ensure it actually WAS John Krasinki still playing him. 
 

I did a search online for some explanation but didn’t find anything. SO strange!

Started watching this tonight because I couldn't find anything else I wanted. One of my favourite things about this show is how it still looks crazy expensive. All the different European locations could be fun too.

I am not 100% sure why the CIA burned Jack but I am interested in finding out. Also for that shoot out on the beach all I could think of was it would be nice if those Navy Seals could have turned their boat around as they were probably only a few minutes away.
