It's unoriginal. I only enjoyed scenes featuring the head of the GRU. Too many spy show have used the storyline of Russian hardliners or Cicadas (but Slow Horses is doing it right).

It feels like the writers watched Condor and Treadstone and ripped the plot.

Season 1 of Jack Ryan was amazing. The firefights were incredible. The backstory for the villian was captivating and gave the audience a real sense behind Suleman's motivation to attack the west. And i liked rooting for his wife as a refugee. Even the side storyline about the lucky drone pilot was neat, not seamless, but entertaining.

Season 2 was great, not as good as season 1. I liked the jungle Spec Ops storyline. That last shootout in the palace was well shot and choreographed. And Venezuela was a fresh country to feature in a spy thriller. But it was blatant CIA propaganda. Almost a justification about their interference with South American elections.

I was disappointed. We waited so long for S3. It was watchable but it was like it was written by an algorithm.
