Me too. Just watching it to finish it. Shame it's crap considering how good the mandalorian was. Was expecting great things.
I am of this opinion too. Thought I was the only one. This is the way. |

I've literally just finished the last episode. Lame and utterly ridiculous. This series really could have been something special but it definitely isn't that.

For anyone that has read the Reacher books (i have read them all and am a fan) the series on Prime is much more aligned to the books and much better than the films. Granted I am only 3 or 4 episodes in, but the guy playing Reacher is much more believable as the character (albeit younger than the character in the book). From the get go they got his size and stature right compared to casting 5ft nothing Tom Cruise for the film role.
Being a fan of the books, I am really enjoying it so far - The series is the first book in the series and has already been renewed for season 2. Looking forward to the rest of it and the next one..

This is next on my list after I've finished Suits. I've read a lot of the books although some of the recent ones have been poor. |

I think that is because Lee Child has introduced his son Andrew to the writing of the books, and I am not sure if he has the same level of knowledge on the character and background as Lee has. Hopefully he will find his stride. I loved Suits as well, although it tailed of towards the end - really good though.. |

After reading the books we all make up an image of Reacher - certainly not midget sized Tom Cruise.
I imagined him as a latter day John Wayne type - gnarly.

Reacher: Its not rocket science! Just read one book and you get that he is a massive, strong and muscly retired Major in the Military Police, who was a long range sharp shooter. He has a sharp investigative mind and since leaving the military he's gone to the other extreme and has become a loner and a drifter, with no possessions or ties. In all of the stories, he rights the wrongs that are done to others. There's always violence, he always gets together with leading ladies. I'm a fan!  |

I am enjoying Suits, although it is a bit samey. I take it Mike & Rachel left due to her new found fame and that changed the dynamics somewhat. On season 8 so not many more to go. |
