Terminal list Amazon prime
I know that I will always enjoy a book more then the movie/tv show, but the amount of things they have changed, added and moved around in just the first episode has me not wanting to continue.
Definitely have to take a break and try and forget about the book and hopefully try episode 2 tomorrow.

I’m just finishing In The Blood and generally have enjoyed all the books. I also like Christ Pratt.
Carr seems to have kept himself engaged in the production process, so I don’t mind variations from the book if it makes a smoother visual story. Not sure my wife is excited about it, so I may end up watching it all myself over the long weekend.
I’m a huge fan of the book series, and have even had the chance to speak with Jack on a few occasions. I am still trying to finish The Devil’s Hand.
With that said, I was disappointed with the first episode and the direction that they took some of the events. I am going to try to keep an open mind though.
Episode three was slightly better, just pretending the book doesn’t exist.

Prime shat all over Tom Clancy with their reboot. I haven’t read the Carr books, so as long as the storyline doesn’t go ‘full alphabet rainbow’, I’ll be good…
Syria instead of Afghanistan… eh, that’s OK.
BCM rifle instead of a Colt or DD… eh, whatever, maybe.
Vortex instead of Eotech? Nope. Lol. I told my wife, that wouldn’t happen.
None of these guys have Navy SEAL hair. WTF! Total loss of credibility.
I thought that odd as well. Jack is so specific about gear in the books.
Give it a chance. Episode 2 gets its back on track.
I watched 4 episodes and reread the book just to watch the shows. Mistake!
Some frustrating things…but as I got to episode 3 I started accepting it would have been twice the episodes just to get backstories right, so opened another beer and pressed on.
Getting over Chinese virus so basically stuck in the house this weekend. Guess we’ll see how it goes…

I agree with this, I just watched two last night and it was much closer to some key plot points, which made it easier to enjoy.
I made it about halfway into the second episode before wiping out.
The one thing I expected but dreaded their changing is the method of death of the mother and child.
I really hope all the bad guys don’t get sanitized from the book.
The book was good but just a revenge hit piece that introduced characters (and eliminated some!)
Hopefully JC adds more elements now that the series has expanded.
I didn’t know it was on prime yet…I had just cancelled amazon…dang it…
Kinda drags.
There’s cool parts and “make it stop” parts. The mountains chase just took forever. Not an altogether bad plot element, it works in a different version of an important plot point to keep Reece the good guy.
The EFP thing though. Meh. Worked way better not the book with the husband of the villainess tie-in. (If I remember it right)
Edit:
I don’t want to ruin the series for those watching it, but I’ll say that the book ended better. The series isn’t bad, just not as good. Also, I t’s like they didn’t want a “damsel in distress” situation at any point.
At this point, I really want to know if they’ll keep the Rhodesian storyline.
I am on Episode 3, it is ok so far.
Don’t like some of the casting change in characters. But such is life.
Without a spoiler, I loved the cameo appearance by someone.
That was cool.
My best friend from the Navy was a SEAL; he’s retired now, and one of only a handful I can stand being around (when we were corpsmen together he went NSW, I went SARC). I was texting all the ‘inside’ trivia about the westie SEALs, which was cool. Apparently Carr is quite the SEALophile/groupie.
I just started episode 5. I have not read the books, but I have enjoyed the series. Clever writing, not knowing what is in his head, what is real, and what is conspiracy, unfolding as the story goes along.
I wonder if Vortex helped sponsor the show, there is a Vortex sticker featured prominently shown on the gun safe
I really can’t stand the way they made the character Katie.
Too timid.
Jack Carr is a former SEAL himself.
I had to look up SARC as I’ve never heard of that one before, very interesting.
