Jack Ryan (serial)

Season 4

Listed as 'The Final Season', Ryan is deputy director of the CIA for a minute, then resigns to go clean up after the former directors shadowy operations gone awry. Too bad this is the final season since the series has been so good. But I guess it's better to quit while it is good than go a season or two too long. As Ryan does his thing with his off-books and on-books partners, his bosses cover for him officially both at the CIA and with the Senate oversight committee, who is vetting Ryan's boss for formal appointment throughout. A nice combination of politics and action. And while a character would occasionally contribute something out of left field which seemed beyond their character, it was also done skillfully such that I was willing to accept the un-shown backstory that it wasn't out of character. If that makes sense.
