Re the opening dance sequence, looked it up on YouTube. It's, um..., different...
Reacher series on Amazon Prime
- Thread starter TIMETRIPPER
- Start date
We binge watched yesterday and today. Good series but maybe a bit too gory.

Did you catch the cameo by Lee Child in the last episode? Reacher is a hard character to catch on film. In the books a lot of his "conversations" are played in his head, can't really do that in the movies he has to talk more and that somewhat alters the character. Thought the series was pretty good.

I wish they had armed Readher with something less ridiculous and more practical than a Deagle.

I've mentioned other times. I
watched a behind the scenes
video a few years ago in which
an armorer is being consulted
by the movie producer.
The armorer suggested several
handguns but the producer was
drawn to the Desert Eagle. The
armorer said it was not really
practical for the hero to carry
one all the time.
But the producer insisted, saying
it would show up on screen much
more prominently than others.

The Desert Eagle was in the book. Killing Floor was the name of the book.

Netflix announced they’ve picked it up for Season 2.

I liked Roscoe from the beginning. I'm watching episode 4 now and REALLY like her!
Probably the same producer who insists on mixing the audio so speech is hard to understand, and the music and explosions are more prominent.

I second that. Roscoe is the most interesting character in the series, so far. She is probably the best actor of the bunch too.

I like Reacher audio books. There are a couple of freebies on youtube and a few on Libby.
Netflix pick up an Amazon Prime show? I thought they hated each other.

I didn’t really think I’d be into it, but after reading all the positive reviews here, I watched it. I thought it was quite entertaining, though some performances were better than others. I agree Roscoe Conklin’s character and the actress that played her were really good. I also liked lead detective Oscar Finley. I need to read the books now to learn more about how Reacher thinks and acts through the authors eyes.
I like how they show him as a kid, and how that made him like he is today. I can't wait to see the movie theater flashback!
It is cool that people liked it, but while I think it started out well, the writing was very bad in the last half of the episodes. It just got dumber and dumber, with plot holes you can drive a bus through without scraping the paint. I found myself talking to the screen making fun of it like on Mystery Science Theater. The events leading up to and through the final warehouse fight were just absurd. Suspension of belief for entertainment is one thing, but there is a limit on how far that will carry a story.
