The writing is consistently horrible 

So, like the books?

(And I say that as someone who has read the books. They’re just dumb fun.)

I kind of dig the British chick trying out the Good Will Hunting accent.  I'm waiting for her to say wicked smaht.

Also, spoiler alert, reacher is going to 1) make sweet love to Red Sox gal, and 2) there's gonna be an epic fist fight between reacher and that big body guard in the final episode.  I haven't read the book, but just call it a hunch.

Amazing! I love everything about it. T

Reacher fucking with the Troll cracks me up and adds to the anticipation of their eventual show down.

The only part that makes me smirk is when reacher sneaks out. Yea no one is gonna notice this giant walking on the roof, the open window, and just strollin across the well lit front yard.

The first 3 episodes were fun, cheesy, poor writing, and just plain stupid and unbelievable- but I liked them. I think the Ethel Merman album was the worst thing I’ve ever heard.

I couldn't make it through Episode 2.

I realize I'm watching a show about the Jack Reacher book series starring the roided up linebacker from Blue Mountain State on Amazon (Middle-Aged Dad) Prime, so I'm already expecting the dumbest television currently going...but holy shit. 

It reminds me of the Batman and Robin movie. Joel Schumacher made Batman Forever (Reacher Season 2), and everyone was like, "Okay, that was still watchable, but you've reached the maximum stupidity/cheese factor we can tolerate. Maybe tone it down on the next one?"

And he said, and I'm probably paraphrasing, "Hold my beer, watch this."

Could you spend money on actors Amazon?  Reacher isnt a great actor it would be nice if they surrounded him with people who can actually you know act.  Every supporting actor is trash. 

In the book it's not a CI who went missing. Also the mom was still alive and assaulted by the giant. 

I'm sure this bodes well for the Amazon Bond movies.

I'm sorry, did somebody think this was going to be an Emmy contender?

No.  Just saying that it could be better. And it wouldn't be hard to cast better actors and find better writers.

I miss her. This season's love interest for Reacher is attractive, but that Boston accent is a deal breaker.

She is such a fucking babe. Makes my pants go crazy.

S2 was worse than S1, and S3 was worse than S2. 

Reread persuader so I’d be up to speed on this season but man I got through like two episodes and moved on. There’s too much quality TV out there to waste time on this.

What are the good books to read?  I was looking for a new series to get into and liked “No plan B” and kinda liked “Night school,” but just finished “Nothing to Lose” and found it to be a stinker.

The last 5 or so have been garbage.  The first dozen or so were all decent reads.  Like so many others, he got fat, happy and lazy.

I hate to be critical since I just waded into a beloved franchise but realistically I’m pretty easy to please.  I have low standards, I just want to be entertained.  Last two I read, it was like Reacher was an idiotic doofus.
