The Shooter series of novels (both about Bob Lee and those about his father) by Stephen Hunter is generally pretty good, I haven’t read all books, but most of them. I do like them better then the movie or the serie.
The Jack Ryan movie (Shadow recruit) is kind of a mix of the books about the original Jack Ryan and the later ones about Jack Ryan JR (son of Jack Ryan), background (heli crash, CIA recruitment) and supporting roles (future wife being a doctor, played by Keira Knightley) is from the originals, but I think the story is more in line with the later stories about Jack Ryan JR. Again, I prefer the books. 
I started watching the Americans but haven’t seen it all and it’s been a while since I last watched it. Also pretty good, some of the plots is a bit over the top, but I love how they have made the early 80’s come back to life.
