I actually like the looks of it... maybe a little cheesy but I can deal with it.

Never had anything to do with this platform, not out of choice but out of obliviousness. Not read any books, not seen any movies, . . . but the new series seems off to a promising start.
Sure, it's a potpourri of recycled tropes, but it's blended and balanced well. Helps knowing the material is based on existing canon, not some seat-of-the-pants adaptation. Kind of like watching an airport novel.

Almost finished with the season. I’ve read most of the books, this guy definitely fits the part.
If you like Jack Reacher I recommend taking a look at The Terminal List coming out in April on Amazon Prime. Jack Carr is a former Navy Seal and has walked the walk so the series is like a more accurate/realistic Jack Reacher. |

Not familiar with the books but enjoying the series. I'd say it's standard Amazon quality, comparable to Goliath or Bosch or Jack Ryan.

I have a Verizon unlimited plan so Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ are all included for free. I watch Netflix the most often so it's well worth the cost for me. Amaon Prime means free shipping so that's well worth the price. I happen to have "free" cable/internet through my HOA. Not truly free since clearly some of the HOA fees go towards the cost, but I do pay an extra $20 a month for increased 500/500 speeds. So long story short I have Netflix, Hulu, ESPN+, Disney+, Amazon Prime, and basic cable all for not that much. I can watch whatever I want with far more options than I used to have back in the day watching Satellite TV growing up in my parents' house. I can watch what's live on Cable or watch countless TV programs or movies on demand streaming. If there is a TV show on HBO Max or Paramount + or some other network I can get a one month subscription to binge watch the show and whatever else may be of interest before the month expires and I cancel my membership. Idk, doesn't sound all that bad to me. |

I’ve finished four episodes so far. It’s really good. Funny moments, intriguing, and suspenseful.

Wife insisted to keep binging. 5 episodes in. Well done TV. Interesting, suspense is good. Twists are not TV stupid. Funny when it tries. Worth the time so far.

I just by chance watched the movie (with Tom Cruise) yesterday. Never seen any Jack Reacher stuff before, but I did like the movie. I think I'll give this series a spin for sure.

I get HBO Max included in my ATT Fiber, Amazon Prime I pay for just to get the fast shipping, so any video content is a bonus. All the other streaming services I sign up for and watch when they have somthing I'm actually interested in watching, then cancel when I finish. Much, much, much better than cable. I might spend $30/month on streaming options with a much broader seletion than I ever got for cable, and that crap starts at like $80/month now.

Watched through it all in one day.
Enjoyed it overall, thought it was cheesy in some places. I need to reread Killing Floor now since there was a lot that I had forgotten. |

This show isn't breaking new ground as BL said, but it is enjoyable.

It took a bit to not see Reacher as Thad Castle, but once I took him more seriously it was a good quick watch

It was a pretty good watch. I laughed at a shitton of the wisecracks from Reacher.
