The writing is consistently horrible

It got better. They suckered me.

So, like the books?

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

It feels better than the second season.

Uhhh... I'm not seeing Serinda Swan, so not likely.

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.

I mean, it's an Amazon Prime dad show.

It's splosions and guns and fights and shit. Maybe some tits.

Ep1 down. I love this show because it is so dumb and so fun. 

I seem to recall that Bizarre Bazaar was the name of a place where strippers bought their outfits in Houston way back in the day

Are you trying to be ironic?

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.

Excellent episode. Action was good enough to overlook the plot holes.

This is just a lazy show. 

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.

But they’re all so dreamy. Especially the big guy.

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

Oh yeah Duffy would get it. Nice side boob in last week’s episode.

it's particularly annoying because it's fake - a bad fake. 

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.
 

The books for S2 and S3 are some of my favorites from the series.  

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.

Didn't he just start letting everyone else in the family write them

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. 

I'd geta list of the Reacher books in order that they were written and start with the early ones and work forward.  They obviously follow a similar trajectory, but the early ones were pretty good.  Kind of like with Baldacci or Connelly.

I don't want to brag, but nailed it.
