Intense? Really?
It’s excruciatingly simplistic, the exposition and storytelling and so on... just mind-numbingly dumb and obvious and boilerplate.
I keep hearing the word “intense,” but Jesus Christ man, watch The Americans or something.
Maybe it deserves another shot, but if I count more than 10 abused tropes in a pilot episode with no unique spin, I’m usually out.

The only thing I noticed that made me go "oh yeah this is a TV show" is the fact that Jack Ryan's boss turns out to be Muslim when they're chasing after a Muslim guy. Maybe you're right that it has cliches in it, I don't know, I'm obviously ignorant of most of them.
