Just watched the first episode. Reacher has himself a familiar pistola. Looks like a 6.5" 629 Classic.


Mods, please close this thread. It has run it's course and all it can do now is get people infractions.

Correct. I watch entertainment to be entertained. I am fully aware that most of those in the industry are libs supportive of such causes and candidates.

They're actors playing a role...their personal beliefs generally don't bother me. I can appreciate their talents for what they are...not their politics.

But...that has limits. Like Jane Fonda for example...Americans died because of her and she has yet to acknowledge that nor feel any remorse that her actions caused.

I love the Reacher character in the books and films, but find the TV series to be comic book-like; i.e. unrealistic gunfights and brawls. I much prefer the cerebral approach of the books and films; the TV series does not appeal to me.

Gads, just finished The Diplomat and am into S2:E5 of Night Action; now Reacher.
When will this ever end so I can get something done on the weekends?

Let me guess he another guy that makes a ton of money glamorizing guns and violence but he’s against guns??????

We pay the monkeys to dance not to talk/have opinions.

I don't pay attention to people who pretend to be someone else for a living.

The writing in season three is even worse than in 2. I know, seems impossible but there it is. It seems like they were making it up as they went along. I think the lead actor thinks so too, judging from how grouchy he looks in every scene.

It was good enough.
The big boy's fight was entertaining despite the unlikely ending.

Reacher jumped the shark big time. Reacher himself is a bad actor. But everyone in this season seems to be a bad actor.

Lee Child seems a strange person to me. He doesn't (or didn't) know **** about guns or the military, just made stuff up as he went along. Only a Brit could come up with a character who couldn't take a shower on Sunday and put on clean clothes in a state with blue laws, but he told an interesting story, even if you had to supply your own "This is no ****, fellas."

I continue to read most of his stuff, but if he can't get simple facts right, I have no expectation that he will somehow get politics into the vicinity of what I regard as believable.

It started out great but then it just drug on. The fight between him and the giant took up way too much time, it would of been more believable if he just ran over him with a semi truck. Sonja Cassidy was nice.

The Reacher TV series has lost all credibility with me. Such a disservice to the Lee Childs books. Season 3 has been atrocious; the writing, the supporting cast, but especially the acting. Alan Ritchson as Reacher is all beefcake and zero substance. So cartoonish and comic book-like.

Looks like he's carrying a H&K P7 in later episodes.

I’ve not started the new season on Reacher, but the plots and writing have gotten so bad that I don’t know if I will watch season 3. Not much point, nobody smiles or has any personality whatsoever. The situations are too cut and dry. Difficult to believe at times.

Actually, she has apologized, and expressed remorse. A number of times. Give it a Google if interested.

Reacher was an absurd fantasy in the novels and now you expect something different in the TV series.

I kind of enjoyed it myself. The guy who played Paulie (Olivier Richters) is a beast!

Just finished season three. I enjoyed the first season. Season two was so-so. Season three, not so good. Too long, poorly acted and way too far from the book to be entertaining.

. He plays a military cop doing a bunch of **** that would land a military cop in prison....recently in an interview he spoke up against cops, saying "they get away with murder everyday." Screw him.

My question is: can Reacher beat up Jason Statham? Chuck Norris?
Could he survive an encounter with Ray Shoesmith?

Loved Season one!
Seems like the story line has been weaker in Season 2-3.

Mods, I think we can close this one down. It's run it's course and the only thing it can do now is get people infractions. If someone wants to discuss the show without political commentary they can start their own thread.

Geez, guys, it was a thread about a television show.
