Since launching last summer, Jack Ryan has fast become one of Amazon's biggest Original TV shows on its Prime Video platform.

Alongside major successes like The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, The Boys, Sneaky Pete, The Grand Tour, The Man in the High Castle, and more, Jack Ryan has quickly become a bona fide hit with fans.

Starring John Krasinski (The Office, A Quiet Place) as the titular CIA analyst turned action hero, Ryan returns for series 2 on a mission that spans the globe.

But if you’ve already binge-watched all of Jack Ryan season 2 and it’s whetted your appetite for some more action on your TV screen, we round up seven similar shows to watch next.

We’re not sure there are enough similarities between these two shows if we’re honest. Brigitte Carreiro from dailybreak.com points out the parallels: “In Condor, a CIA analyst (check) stumbles upon a plan that puts millions of lives in danger (check). He joined the CIA in the first place hoping to engage some kind of reform (check), but is forced away from his desk (check)... [and has to] quickly learn how to maneuver more dangerous circumstances than he would have thought (check).”

Just like Jack Ryan was pulled from the safety of his desk job in season 1, Jonathan Pine was similarly taken from the normalcy of his hotel manager role and recruited by intelligence operatives. In another parallel, both titular characters were former soldiers fighting for their countries.
