I love political thrillers and spy and superhero shows etc. The best however, are always in books and I am yet to see a series yet that compares to books like the Mitch Rapp series and here's why. They are always to tame, whether we are talking about Agent X or Person of Interest or Daredevil etc, they are all about shooting the bad guys in the knees. You know what Mitch Rapp does when confronted by an amoral killer or a terrorist? He shoots them right between the eyes so they can no longer hurt anyone else. Arrow started that way, in the first season he killed the evil doers, in the seasons since then he ties them up for the police to take them away to jail where they later escape to continue their evil ways, so tedious and boring. Agent X has started this way, he is supposedly the most highly trained agent on Earth and he misses baddies when he shoots at them and he goes out of his way to not kill them, this is unrealistic and would never happen in the real world. I've only seen the one episode though, hopefully it will get better.
