Reacher - Prime Video

[The Rotrex Kid]

Enjoyed those first 3, that first episode was a great start to the season IMO.

I've watched the first episode and thought it was fun. Some of the acting is pretty ropey though. The DEA woman was particularly st.

You don’t want to overthink the series too much as it would spoil it a bit.

However, I think series 3 is off to a better start. Enjoying so far, shame now into drip fed episodes. Again… what was previously the main advantage of stuff on Amazon?!

Series 1 loved it. Series 2 didn’t really engage with it and seems generally similar opinions from others. Stuck at it because of how much I enjoyed S1.

Excellent first 3 episodes
Only read the book a few weeks ago and a few changes but mostly the same

All 3 DEA people are very poor. As is their hostage. Keep thinking it must be the premise or the script... (In fact as I start listing them... None of the acting is that great. Maybe the chef ).

Series is OK, but you definitely need to switch off.

Good first 3 episodes

Annoyed by:

1. The fact it's only 3 episodes and there's no indication of when the rest will be released. Gimme them all!

2. Adverts. I've paid a sub already for Prime, why am I seeing frickin' adverts half way through??

1) an episode a week every Thursday now

2) totally agree, you want no adverts amazon say pay us more, very annoying. Plus a lot of aged prime series now seem to be moving to pay/buy the series rather than included.

The problem is that Prime is the same price or cheaper than Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV etc. but you get streaming, music, books plus free delivery. When you think of it as a whole package then the adverts aren't too bad.

I'm sorry, I'm out, I can't watch anymore of it.

What, like 'regular' TV?

I thought the whole purpose of streamed content was that I could watch it when I wanted to, as fast as I wanted to?

In other news:

> 100 bonus points for having Anthony Michael Hall in it and bringing back my 80s films memories - Weird Science, Breakfast Club, etc

> Duffy and Reacher are totally going to get horizontal in a future episode.

Series 3 is delivering everything I'd hoped it would, I'm not watching Reacher because I'm expecting it to win an Emmy, I'm watching it because it makes me titter like the A Team used to when I was a child, it's like a serialised version of an 80s action movie.

[LordGrover]

Still watching, but disappointed.

The books aren't literary masterpieces, but enjoyable page-turners nonetheless.
It feels like they're trying to make the tv series low-spec to match the perceived quality of the books - and they've succeeded; more's the pity.

... other than the list of episodes

[jimmsy]

I think this particular story only really worked as a book.

I loved S1, enjoyed S2, but this just feels a little low-budget and simplistic to me. There's very few actual characters to engage with, and after three episodes I feel like it's flying through the story in the book but not really that impressively or in a massively engaging way.

There must be better books out there to have turned into a series?

[Leon R]

I'm hoping they do Die Trying or Nothing To Lose.

[hairykrishna]

I thought it was a weird choice of book. I can only assume they didn't want every series to be "reacher turns up somewhere, falls out with local baddies then uncovers plot that local baddies are involved in".

There's a different plot to these books?

I’ve missed who the handcuffed guy is the police are holding onto in e2 and 3? Where’s he come from?
