The pilot was pretty good. I think it has a chance to be pretty good overall. Still waiting for Jean Claude Van Johnson personally. That was great and I can't wait for more.

I didn't care for The Tick pilot personally, I think Warburton just set way too high of a bar.

Jean Claude Van Johnson was great though

I'm in but I'm a huge Clancy book fan...a bit more of the past vs the new non Clancy stuff, but those aren't bad. Very interested to see how John does, given that we just somewhat recently binge watched The Office, and it's tough to see him as not Jim.

He killed it in 13 Hours imo. Think he'll do very well in this role. Wondering if they go the more book role, which has him more the analyst type, or they continue the movie style where he's more operator. I've read the entire series (including the Jack Ryan Jr. books) and am really looking forward to this.

Couldn't agree more about 13 Hours .... watched that twice and mainly because of him. Time to shake the Jim mystique.

Since this is where talk of Amazon series is happening, I guess, I want to plug "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel". You might think this is a chick series by simply looking at the series poster/thumb, but it's far from that. Set in the late 1950's, it's basically about a Jewish gal, Midge Maisel, who thinks she's settled in her story-book married life to a guy who, though working in the textile industry, has dreams about becoming a stand-up comic. Only problem is, he's not good. Along the way, Midge discovers that stand-up could actually be more her thing. There are twists and turns along the way. What largely makes it for me are the witty comeback lines during the regular dialogue, especially those given to Alex Borstein (who many of you know from MadTV and her Ms. Swan character and as the voice for Lois Griffin), who plays her eventual business partner. For me, having Tony Shalhoub and Kevin Pollack as the respective (very) Jewish dads of the center couple polishes this series off well, especially Shalhoub. Rachel Brosnahan, who plays the lead role (and is quite the looker) does a phenomenal job for which she won a Golden Globe. Clearly, I highly recommend.

Finished S1 and S2 myself. Liked S1 more than S2, but both were really enjoyable.

On a different note, I've been waiting for the Jack Ryan series to drop.
I went online Saturday to check it out, and low-and-behold, the 56min pilot was available to stream.
I started playing it, but didn't want to watch it on my laptop.
I closed the browser, fired up the Amazon app on my Smart TV and it wasn't there. Only trailers.
Went back to the laptop and sure enough, the Pilot was gone.
Very odd.
