Just watched Jack Ryan Season 2, what the fuck was that?

So uum, is it supposed to be that bad? A US senator gets killed on Venezuelan soil by Venezuelan authorities, and no one does anything about it. Then an FBI Agent is killed on Venezuelan soil, which generates so much tension that a whole embassy is abandoned? And, an even worse plot point is all the "operations" that God-Emperor Jack Ryan and his team of what is supposed to be superiors (but are just babysitters who really worry about hitting a child) conduct on Venezuelan soil (raiding a prisoner camp, killing a bunch of people like they never existed and disregarding most laws of physics). Then comes the most ridiculous part - they raided what I think is supposed to be the palace of President Reyas. One would think that for this to be an actual plot point they would at least sanction it as something "off the books", but no - it is authorized. This happens while literally thousands of protestors are raging against the machine in front of the Palace, with only like 5 guards protecting the PRESIDENTIAL PALACE ITSELF, all this while the election was shut down. Among all of this, Jack Ryan goes on one of his heroin wild rides again and, giving zero fucks, goes balls deep within the Palace, despite orders, gets stuck, and what do his "superiors" do? They follow him. Then he encounters the President and is about to kill him but for once he winds down from all the drugs he's on and leaves him alive, albeit still somewhat beaten up. Then they escape with their lost guy (with this not being international news) and the Palace is stormed by the citizens, with someone later mentioning that Reyas is dead (don't remember who though). What the actual fuck? Have the writers been on drugs themselves while writing this? This is so far from reality I could call in the writers' sanity for questioning. Legitimately one of the worst, not-down-to-earth shows I've watched. EVER.

Sorry for the wall of text - TL;DR: Don't watch Prime Video "originals" in Yemen.
