I've never read the books but enjoyed Cruise's portrayal of the character, it made a change from watching some muscle-bound heavy.American reviews aren't very encouraging. All saying he looks like a chiesiled gym boy and Reacher just isn't that, also he comes over as smug. Too polished rather than the more hoboesque character of the books. Be a real shame if they've fucked it up, it should be a brilliant thing to film but so far the directors, writers, characters are just not getting the Jack Reacher of the books.
I agree with your comment about the Accountant, well worth a watchI’m not a fan of Ricky Gervais either, however in under 5 minutes (people that have watched will what I’m on about )
I thought yeah this going to be good.
Anyone watched Outlander? Series 6 starts in March. Can’t wait.
The Accountant is a good film.
Yep, watched all five series of Outlander and looking forward to series six. Series one was brilliant, series two less so, and then back on form for series three and especially series four. Series four was that good I couldn't wait to get started on series five! And to be honest I found series five to be a bit flat after the heights of series four.I’m not a fan of Ricky Gervais either, however in under 5 minutes (people that have watched will what I’m on about )

Apparently they want to cover as many of the books as they can, not sure how they can do that though unless they cherry pick, maybe 2 seasons a year?Just watched the first episode, and it was spot on with the book from what I remember. Very good indeed. The actor looked a bit well groomed compared to the disheveled hobo type character described in the books, but otherwise I was very impressed. Looking forward to watching the remaining 7 episodes over the next few days , I hope there are going to be more series, as it looks like this 8 part series just covers the first book "Killing Floor"
I watched 2 as well. Thought they were spot on.Just watched the first 2 episodes of Reacher and so far enjoying it. True to the book, gritty and very violent, Reacher looks like you might imagine, the only thing that I think is lacking is a bit of humility and warmth to Reacher, maybe that will come. Much better than I thought it might be so that's a great thing as I love the books. Could be a long running series..... 27 books so far!
I’ve nearly finished Reacher. I’m a big fan of the books and pleasantly surprised with how good the series is.Just watched the first 2 episodes of Reacher and so far enjoying it.

I ended up watching the first 3 and I am really enjoying it. It's a long time since I had the first book so I have forgotten a lot about it. Amazon want to cover one book every season and it looks like they want to do them all!! That's fine by me, 2 seasons a year would be great.I watched 2 as well. Thought they were spot on.
It would be wrong to do them all. Reacher would be older than us by the time Blue Moon kicked in!I ended up watching the first 3 and I am really enjoying it.

yep watched it a couple of days back. Amazing how he got away with it and even more amazing that he got out of prison, was it after only five months and is now in another relationship and doing very well for himself. Makes you wonder if there could be a part two about him in a few years where he's up to his old tricks again.Watched The Tinder Swindler last night .. have to admire some blokes balls (not literally!).
yep, another highly addictive series. Once you start you can't stop.Just started The Fall.
I know I’m a hundred years behind but I think I was too busy for binge watching back when it came out
Third episode, so far so good, though maybe just a little bit on the slow side.
Just started watching the first series. Superb stuff.Just finished The Sinner on Netflix, well worth a watch .
I really enjoyed Reacher and the last 2 episodes were really good.Sinner is excellent series, amazing that the BBC had first dibs on it and put it to BBC4
I'm actually really enjoying Reacher....it's a very tongue in cheek and it goes for the easy watch but the story is very good.
Would have preferred it to follow a sort of True detective/Bosch, grittier type idea......but it's a decent watch....
All of us are dead is also very good on Netflix.....if you enjoyed Train To Busan & Korean zombies........then this is really good......I even shed a tear on the last episode
Boiling Point with Stephen Graham (dodgy stream sites) is very good.....Imagine 1 night with Gordon Ramsey on PMT....and more swearing!!!
1883....Best Cowboys & Indians series since Lonesome Dove/Deadwood.....7 episodes in and it's brilliant...a 9/10.....and Tom Hanks pops up as well!!
Dopesick was brill. You're only the second person I know who has watched it.recommend:-
Hopefully you have all been watching Succession ? Brilliant !
Dopesick - really enjoyed this so watch ...and they are still sellling it !
and just started Yellowjackets which could be good in that Lord of the flies genre, with US girls footy team in crash and have to survive..for months!
I've watched the first 6 episodes, I'm finding it really hard going, so much so I reckon I'm going to give up on it. Similarly I watched 6 Boardwalk Empire and got bored with it. I'm on with Reacher, I've read all the books but the series is a little cheesy.Finished the excellent Ozark last week and can't wait for the new series in January.
Gonna start the new [third] series of You. The first two series were very good, especially the first.
You're easily pleased then.I've watched the first 6 episodes, I'm finding it really hard going, so much so I reckon I'm going to give up on it. Similarly I watched 6 Boardwalk Empire and got bored with it. I'm on with Reacher, I've read all the books but the series is a little cheesy.
Discerning I believe is the word you are looking for.You're easily pleased then.
absolutely love this show, massive fan of Summer Benton from the Atlanta version but the rozzer i would want on my side in any investigation is Jason White from Tulsa HomicideThe First 48 hours.
Homicide detectives followed in real life.
20 odd series some on youtube and i have watched some on one of the streaming platforms as well.
This is looking back at a case.

Just watched the first episode following your recommendation… it’s brilliant isn’t it.. very funny.. I’m hooked!Just up to the last episode of The Righteous Gemstones (Sky) which is a dark comedy based on TV evangelists in the USofA, stars John Goodman and also Danny McBride who writes it to as well as Walter Coggins.
Very funny in parts but also pretty dark too, a bit of a hidden gem (pun intended) and I would thoroughly recommend it.
I'm just up to date onto season 2 ep 4 so got to wait every week now. It is the most dysfunctional family on TV I reckon, very funny and very dark, it gets better too so you are going to really enjoy it. I think it is a much watch personally.Just watched the first episode following your recommendation… it’s brilliant isn’t it.. very funny.. I’m hooked!
I knew within the first ten minutes or so I was going to love it.. I don’t know why but the scene when they reversed over the blackmailers really amused me.. rather sick I know! Anyway thanks and if there are any more little gems please let us know! Have you watched Six Feet Under? That’s very good…I'm just up to date onto season 2 ep 4 so got to wait every week now.

Another shout out for ‘Nobody’Great to see Dexter (New Blood) back on the TV; great character.
Just seen a fight scene on a bus for a film called 'Nobody'..... ferkin awesome.
