Crap.

I'll leave it up for the internet fun's and deserved razing. Lol

Meant to type. First show that I have binged that wasn't a kids show. (I have 5 kids, so tv time for adults is precious)
Way to own it!

Finished it the other day. its exactly what you want it to be and nothing more. admittedly, i was skeptical based on the trailer, and few minor quibbles aside, i really enjoyed it. looking forward to season two.

I especially loved the part where he was able to find clothes that fit from the Salvation Army donation box in a deserted parking lot.

I am pretty sure he puts a shirt on, it doesn't fit, and he switches back to his previous wet shirt.

When he grabs the gun out of Roscoe's holster, they specifically make holsters to prevent that from happening. No proof she'd have one and a minor quibble, but it is there

Just binged the whole thing on Friday. Never read the books. Thought Cruise did fine, but I knew the complaints about him not matching the character. This version is a lot of fun. Looking forward to the next series.

And yes, it gets a bit cheesy at times...like Findlay jamming to 38 Special. I found that a harder stretch than any of the action. But just a really enjoyable character and fun story to follow.

Enjoyed it. First thing show that was kids programming that I binged.


Yeah I showed my kids this educational programing. See right here son is how you strangle an assassin with his own tie.
Ep 1, first 15 minutes, son this is how you exercise your right to not say a thing to cops if you get arrested.


Son, never trust a gun you haven't test fired yourself, shoot unsuspecting tree stumps.


That was a little detail I noticed about the show. He had really good firearm discipline. Not surprising for an MO but surprising for a TV show. When Roscoe first gave him that Cannon he quickly broke it down before just assuming he was good to fire that gun.

We finished it last night. Really enjoyed it. The body count on the show is pretty impressive. Almost want to go back and do a rewatch to figure out counts for:

A)Reacher
B) Rest of the good guys
C) Bad guys

My best guess is 20, 10 & 10. Busy week for the coroner.

It's okay...I'm sure he just brings them to his master.

I've never heard of that show (What we do in the shadows) but just read the wiki. Any good?

Really cheesy - nowhere near as good as Bosch - but still enjoying mostly because of Reachers direct / no BS attitude.

Only real groan so far is the coroner zooming in to see a diamond pattern on Grays wound. So CSI level ridiculous.

Roscoe is a cutie. Needs bigger cans but can't complain, got to see em.

Yes! Very underrated comedy based on the movie from Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement.

finally wrapped this up. we enjoyed it, but it wasn't "must see". obviously took us a while to get through it.

i am glad to see they're getting a S2. this one has the potential to be a series that gets better as they put more money into it and with reacher's nomadic style, it will be easy to dramatically improve the supporting cast from season to season.

I enjoyed season 1 and I'll have to read the books.

What was up with the dirty FBI agent randomly appearing in the last fight scene, after Reacher shot him? They never showed how he got there or anything, and he died almost immediately. It just seemed pointless.

He was there so Finlay could face down the former friend who betrayed him and killed him.

My wife kept getting mad at me for saying Gizmo every time he came on screen.

Really fun show. Watched first four episodes last night. Been wondering if this guy would show up in something else. He played a non-powered super hero in a DC series.

Love his direct attitude. Anytime he's asked to do something he doesn't agree with or want to do he just says, "No". Ha.

He seemed almost Autistic in some of his dialogues but part of that is showing the viewer what he is planning/thinking and some of that might be just a higher functioning person

never read the books or seen the movies, but this is by far my favorite season of TV this year, followed closely by Slow Horses.
Saw movie but not books. Hilarious the difference in casting.

Saw the movies first. Started reading the books. Watched the series. I couldn't understand why people were upset that Tom Cruise was playing Reacher until I started reading the books. Though I still enjoy the movies, I see why they were upset. Alan Ritchson, in the series, is a monumentally better fit based on the books. I really enjoyed Season 1. I have not read the book that is the source material.

To each their own, but I've found myself kind of liking weekly releases. Harkens back to the appointment viewing days of pre-streaming. Seems to generate better conversation about shows on here too.
