Just finished 'Reacher' on Prime, and I'm honestly not sure what to think of it. It was like an 80's lightweight cop drama like Magnum PI that's been somehow mashed up with Arnie's 'Commando' and produced by Seth Rogen and Quentin Tarantino.
The lead guy who plays the eponymous hero is like a cardboard cutout that knows he's playing a cardboard cutout and at times looks like he's about to p1ss himself at the joke. But in an Arnie-menacing sort of way. Seems to have gone down well with the critics, and I can't say I didn't enjoy it at times. Very odd.... |

I think a lot of fans of the books were pretty dismayed when the pint-sized Mr Cruise was cast as a man a foot taller..... |

Counterpart on Virgin Ultra HD is worth watching - just about to start Season 2

But it's very much a caricature, not in too much of an overdone way though. Far more convincing Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise ever could be though. I'm looking forward to the second series. We've just started watching "This Is Going To Hurt" on BBC as well, love the book, laugh out loud at times. The tv series maybe won't be as funny to us as it might for people who haven't read the book, as we're not hearing the jokes for the first time. Still enjoyed episode 1 though, Ben Whishaw plays him quite well.

I see 'Raised by Wolves' Season 2 starts soon. Really enjoyed the first season, interesting concepts even if it was a bit like a bad LSD trip at times. Disappointed that Sky & Virgin still can't agree to air Atlantic as part of the Virgin Media package. You can't even load the NOW TV app to the Virgin platform if you don't have a smart TV. |
