We love Reacher. Just the right balance of mind numbing action, procedural, conspiracy, etc.
I thought Blue Eyed Samurai was entertaining and would watch subsequent seasons.
Think it, be it.

My wife and I have been watching "Marry My Husband" on Prime. It's Korean, and it's heartbreaking and funny and dramatic. Some of the scenes are are so beautiful and intricately shot and well thought out, I'm not quite sure I've seen anything to compare it to. The character building is phenomenal, and the actors nail their roles.

I'm in the middle of Season 2, I really like it. The two films with Tom Cruise were already quite well made, but this series I like even better.

@tody and @mclaincausey you both have to be bullshitting me. Reacher has the worst written dialogue in any recent show I've seen. It's laughably predictable and unoriginal.
I also love it and my wife and I watch it as destination TV. Me for Dixon, her for my reaction to Dixon.

@jordanscollected Maybe the German translation is better?

@mclaincausey I'm being an a-hole simply to be an a-hole. I love the show too.
-
I mean you’re not wrong. You know what’s coming and the dialogue is a low-rent action film.
-
I'd like to think that Reacher is intentionally being low-rent / b-roll in some areas with respect to its dialog and plot. Personally, it has a somewhat endearing quality to it that works with the show and acting. Also enjoy this and being able to completely shut off the brain for a bit and enjoy ridiculous things.
On the flip side, anyone do Bosch? Really enjoyed the original series and also the latest reboot of Legacy.
-
i like Bosch a lot, haven't seen legacy, so will take it as a recommendation
-
Bosch was a great show that didn't get the respect it deserved. I liked Legacy season 1 but season 2 got a bit over the top for me.

I feel like this is the John Wick principle, and I've definitely got room for it. I need to check out Reacher.
-
I've read articles about Reacher that explain that it's target audience is 30 and 40 something dads that love the action star save the day save the girl cheesy one liner turn off the brain nonsense. That explains Reacher perfectly.

Just watched Fool Me Once twice in 36 hours. Obviously, I really enjoyed it the first time around, but I watched it a second time to see if I could spot clues as to what was going to happen that I had missed with the first viewing. Not sure that I did, but I really loved it the second time around, I watched it from a completely different perspective and found it just as compelling. Oh, and Michelle Keegan is pretty easy on the eye.....
thank you
