I've only seen the first episode of the new Reacher series, but I thought it was great. My wife did, too. I can't watch any more episodes until she can as well. LOL Before seeing the first episode, I thought they might have cast too much of a Hollywood pretty boy in the role, but no, Alan Ritchson an excellent Jack Reacher. I hadn't seen him in anything before this. I hope this series lasts as long or longer than Bosch did. And I hope they don't screw it up.
Been waiting!
My only nitpick so far is that they screwed up the firearms info and did it in the first 10 minutes of the show. Oh well, I remember that happening in the novels from time to time as well. I’ll grit my teeth and try to overlook it.
Lol.. please tell me the feminazis are trying to ban it because it has “toxic masculinity”.
If they haven’t started yet, they probably will. It’s gloriously toxic. LOL
my ego is hoping my wife doesn’t like the toxic too much. That guy is a stud!
I hope it is better than the butcher’s mess they made of Wheel of Time.
Bosch will be back. Private detective for the lawyer his daughter works for. At least that’s what the series finale insinuated…
I’m watching the first episode of Reacher again now. I’m not sure if I’ve ever done that before so quickly. I watched the first season of Wheel of Time. I won’t be watching the second.
Read the first book. Knew a Brit wrote it because of the word “kerb”.
Very average. No Raymond Chandler.
For those freepers in foreign lands that like cricket amazon has a series called Inside Edge.
I cant get used to india shows talking in English and Hindi even in the same sentence. The second season was dubbed in English but it appears they havent done it yet for season 3.
If i understood cricket better the show would make better sense but it is interesting to watch other cultures
we’re big fans of the books ... watched first two episodes ... strongly captured the spirit of the books ... excellent production values ... thank goodness amazon did NOT woke it up ... Bruce McGill, “D-Day” in Animal House and a YUGE Trump supporter, does a great bad guy ...
I’ve read several technothiller books from a certain british author (forget his name right now. Patrick something)
He would frequently write about checking the magazine in a service revolver. I’m guessing the first time was an error and the rest were a twisted literary joke he inserted.
Meh... the Jack Reacher books are depressing bully worship
“Bosch will be back. Private detective for the lawyer his daughter works for. At least that’s what the series finale insinuated…”
I literally have every book Michael Connelly wrote. He was my favorite till he went Never Trumper. Never again. Not even Bosch reruns.
I’m in!
Having read the books, cruise was a big stretch to play Reacher. Really big.
He was in “Titans” the live action Teen Titans show on Hulu/HBO Max and played the superhero “Hawk” (half of Hawk & Dove).
