TV Series

Reacher on Amazon Prime.

I've watched the first few episodes - it's a good bit of fun - with an over-the-top, insanely unbelievable Reacher. A 6-5", 200 lb plus, ultra smart Reacher kicking ass against the bad guys in each episode. It's a bit of unrealistic and yet escapist fun.

An aside...

Did anyone else watch and enjoy the Canadian Broadcasting Company series, "Burden of Truth?"

It's interesting that the star of "Burden of Truth," the beautiful Kristin Kreuk makes an appearance in Reacher - as does Paul Braunstein who played a bad-guy cop in BoT... I guess that networking and friendship plays an important role for some actors when auditioning for new roles.

Haven't watched any of it yet but Lee Child who wrote the books intended Reacher to be an imposing kick-ass guy. If you read the books it's clear. He was never happy with Tiny Tom Cruise being cast in the films. Didn't stop him laughing all the way to the bank.
 
'Euphoria', series one.

I have a daughter with complex life issues, who copes via substance abuse, from time to time. I've never known what she's gone through, through the little bits she's told me about how she thinks, but this show... It just made things click for me. My daughter is older now, but she reminds me very much of the lead character.

I asked if she'd seen the show, which she hadn't, but said she'd look out for it. I, also, asked if we could talk after she'd watch it.

Not making assumptions, but I feel we could talk better now I've watched it and maybe the leap to understanding her issues is less than the chasm it was before.

Not seen a better show about today's teenage/ young adult life and 'Sex Education' looks like child's play, in comparison.
 
It's been mentioned quite a few pages back but Your Honor on the Sky Platform is a very decent watch. It's a one season ten episoder and we were both royally entertained throughout it's tenure.

A slight critism in that a brace of the middle episodes were bloated and a little akin to watching a Peyton Place soap opera. Nevertheless they were still digestable but not carrying the edge of the seat draw the other eight produced.

 
Started watching Reacher today and done three episodes. Thoroughly enjoying it, perfect tv for a day off when it’s howling and pouring down outside.

I’ve read all the books and glad it has gone back to being relatively faithful to the source material, as opposed to the ludicrous casting of Tom Cruise in the films.
Like the books it is good, honest, pulpy action fun and again like the novels it is much better written than you might expect at face value.
Le Child himself turns up in a cameo in the final episode
