These feature two Jack Ryans. From season one he's the smart likable Jack. In season two he's the kinda stupid, and a little sleazy Jack. The dialog seems to have been written by two different writers. In season one, it's good and believable. In season two it's stilted, stale and forced. Every word out of Ryan's mouth had a scripted feel. And, strange as it may seem, the writers thought just making Jack's girlfriend disappear as though she never existed was an acceptable move. The shock of going from nice relationship Jack to sleeping with the first pretty face he sees in a bar Jack, not only made Jack sleazy, but it made him seem stupid and set up which the first season Jack would have been smarter to avoid. I stopped watching about half way into the 1st episode because I no longer liked the Jack he became in season 2.
