Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: French Connection

September 4, 2018 9:31 PM - Season 1, Episode 2

Jack and Greer decode a fresh piece of intel that takes them to Paris and one step closer to the elusive Suleiman. Hanin's husband returns home with a renewed fervor for his secretive mission, leaving her unsure of their family's future.

For me, the big reveal in this episode was that Greer had converted to Islam (for his now ex-wife) but had lost his faith. (And so far have more faith in the show runners to handle that well than how I would imagine Clancy would.)

Given the reference to custom SQL queries in the pilot, that query interface for the magic international criminal database was disappointingly non-SQL.

Oh my god not one frickin group by or where clause or proper join. F- for the non SQL!

All the players are... well super smart terrorist on the run goes to a known location and does not even power cycle the clever backchannel chatroom to headquarters which would have ended the series if any of the hotshot good guys had thought to track the ip address.

Also wouldn't good opsec mean that your password is 100% random and not personal?
