Every second counts in new Jack Ryan season 3 trailer

It’s been almost three years since the second season of Jack Ryan premiered on Amazon Prime Video. And that’s far too long for life to be calm for Tom Clancy’s ultimate Cold War action hero. The Jack Ryan series has updated the title character to fit in a modern context, and yet Jack just can’t escape the pull of Russia. The plot of the upcoming season revolves around a plot to restore the Soviet Union to its former “glory.” And can you guess whose shoulders it will fall upon to prevent that from happening? Spoiler warning: It’s always going to be Jack Ryan, just like it’s always going to be Russia.

According to the official synopsis for the season, Jack’s quest to prevent this Soviet conspiracy will once again land him in hot water with the CIA. And he will have no choice but to go rogue and fight the conspirators with only a handful of allies to watch his back.

“In the third season of the action-thriller series, Jack Ryan is working as a CIA case officer in Rome, when he is tipped off that the Sokol Project, a secret plan to restore the Soviet Empire, is being resurrected more than 50 years after it was thought to have been shut down. Jack embarks on a mission to confirm the intelligence, but things quickly go awry, and he is wrongly implicated in a larger conspiracy.”

Stranger things are happening in Paper Girls’ new trailer
The cast of Paper Girls.

In the next few weeks, you're going to see a lot of comparisons between Prime Video's new series Paper Girls and Netflix's breakout smash Stranger Things. It's a comparison that even we've made before, and it may seem like Prime Video is jumping on the bandwagon with this series. However, it's based on the Paper Girls comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan and artist Cliff Chiang that debuted in 2015, almost a year before Stranger Things. The nostalgia factor is high in the first full trailer for the series, as we're about to go back to the '80s once again. And that's where things get weird ... and strange.

Don’t Make Me Go trailer previews tearjerker of the summer
Mia Isaac and John Cho in Don't Make Me Go.

The problem with a lot of modern movies is that they tend to lose sight of the fact that good drama doesn't always need spectacle. It can just be two people in a room at cross-purposes with each other. Or in the case of Don't Make Me Go, it's two people in a car together. The upcoming Amazon Prime Video original film stars John Cho as Max, the single father of a teenage daughter named Wally (Mia Isaac). Parenting Wally is hard enough, but Max also has to deal with the knowledge that he is terminally ill and he doesn't have a lot of time left.
