:heart:x7 I figured this would be a run-of-the-mill spy show. It's not. The main character, Owen, has a knack for getting himself into and back out of situations. Centineo plays this character very well. He's very believable as a young, naive, wide-eyed, sunny-side up type of CIA recruit. Overall the storyline is better and more entertaining than any of theJack Ryan seasons. How I rate: 1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time 4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too 9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

This series season 1 is absolutely superb. The humor is sarcastic to the max in a way that it's almost a comedy. But never getting there. It's extremely well done. It's lovely unrealistic, never gets too serious and yet manages to captivate you into binge watching the whole thing. Can't wait for season 2.

Overall it was a good show. I liked the way he utilized wit and fast talking to get out of random situations. The action and story were good and kept the show moving forward. My main complaint is about the ending. Of all streaming networks, why doesn't Netflix actually end a series with an actual ending? The way they cancel shows this one may end up with a cliffhanger that never gets finished which would be a big disappointment. They could have easily finished up this part of the story in a different way to put a cap on the 1st season.

I want to like this show. The season was up and down with the finale being extremely underwhelming. If The Recuit gets pick up for another season I’ll watch. But if Netflix cancels it I won’t be surprised or bothered by that decision.
