TV Sloppiness

Like most people, I really appreciate good movies and TV series, moreso the latter. For example, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime. Season 1 was superb. Season 2 is also good, but it suffers from a bad case of implausible coincidences and outright omissions. One minute Jack is about to be executed by an assassin, the next, the woman that was shot in the foot by said assassin and left incapacitated 100+ KM away shoots him in the back of the head. One scene, Jack gets stabbed in the arm, the next he is wearing short sleeves and wringing his hands without so much as a band-aid. The story line is still excellent, but these little things add up to make the show feel unbuttoned. It is like going to see Tosca at the Met and noticing that Mario Cavaradossi is wearing high top Converse sneakers. If the objective is to create an alternate reality for the viewer to immerse themselves within, then the craft must be at a higher level.
