Man... I'm happy that AMAZON is following NETFLIX lead with releasing all episodes in a season at once!
Jack Reacher is off to a enjoyable start. |

I watched the whole Reacher S1 yesterday. IMO it's exactly like the books in the sense that it's good but not great and if you have nothing else to watch you can be sure if you watch Reacher you won't be disappointed but won't be thrilled either. 6 out of 10 I give it. This counterfit thing might have been a novelty when that book came out but now that there are multiple seasons of Good Girls about the same thing, it just has no wow factor whatsoever.

The wow factor was the way they were able to replicate the book’s character, which was executed about as well as possible (again assuming someone enjoyed the books). Compared to something like Jack Ryan, for example, IMO Reacher was much better and 1000x better than the Reacher movies that were just awful. So I’d say at least 7 and probably more like 8 out of 10 for me.

I agree this actor is a much better fit for the role than Tom Criuse but I never imagined Reacher as a body-builder - not a gym person. If you look at the actor's hands when he walks, it's as if he is holding dumbells.
I enjoyed the show overall. I have read most of the books. The last one, The Sentinel, was interesting with Reacher getting involved in the more contemporary cyber crimes. |

As someone who:
The character is more believable for the role than Cruise. The show wasnt bad, but not great. It started off good but trailed to just okay. Suspending belief because it's a show (e.g. his level of engagement/cooperation w/ the police), I think my main issues were the Venezuelans were barely there (as in what was the point) and how some adversaries fared so well against Reacher in CQC. And where was Clark Kent through all of it?!

I finished Breaking Bad yesterday so I watched El Camino, the Breaking Bad movie today. What a waste. That’s 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back.

I know I am 10 years too late but House of Cards, end season 2, a threesome now???? Like fucking really? Honestly it's a great show that is ruined by just stupid side arcs at times.

We just finished Reacher also. It was a pretty good adaptation from the book series IMO. In other words plenty of people getting beat, plenty of opportunity to skip entire paragraphs of filler, topped with a dollop of sexual tension. It's possible to go to the kitchen and refill the beer mug without losing the story thread. We'll watch the next season, like we watched all of the Bosch seasons.

I'm on the last episode of Reacher. It's decent not great. It really gives me network TV vibes at times. I'll likely tune in if there's a second season. Was really hoping it would be better. Jack Ryan is a better series in everyway IMO. Can't wait for it to return for a new season.
