Round.

Seriously though, any of y’all watch this? I’m three episodes in and am so far pleased. No woke, no political BS, just action junk food for the brain. Eight episode serious on amazon prime.

I watched it and I liked it. I liked the first Jack Reacher movie with Tom Cruise better but they are both good. Looking forward to season 2.

The new guy is huge and jacked which is accurate to how he is in the books. I think he did a good job and there aren't too many guys on Earth that can portray Jack Reacher accurately.

Haven't seen the series but I did like the first Tom Cruise version but not the second.

I cannot bring myself to watch something called "Reacher(ound)", LOL! It may be good but it will take some time for me to stop laughing and watch the show.

I hate it when children have major roles in serious Hollywood movies. That kid and her character were annoying and it ruined the whole movie. Also....even though she is attractive Cobie Smulders is a shitty actress. The two women brought the whole project down a couple of notches from the first movie. Also, it was a mistake to soften Reacher by giving him a "daughter". They should have stuck with what worked about the first movie. These are just my opinions.

I agree,I was pleasantly surprised with the first and very disappointed with the second.
It's like like they took the underlying menace from him that was felt in the first.

Reacher(ound) is definitely worth watching. That said, I strongly prefer movies to television shows. Movie budgets are much higher and they are just better made all the way around.

I find TV shows to always be a little cheesy, even the good ones. It's harder for me to suspend my disbelief.

Mark Wahlberg did a good job in the movie ''Shooter'' based on the Stephan Hunter series on Bobby Lee Swagger.
Bu you can't match the books. You cant squeeze all of a book in a movie that runs two hours.

Exactly! He's a moral man, slightly sarcastic, good sense of humor..............but there is an underlying menace to him. He doesn't work as well as a character without that.

In the second movie they neutered him a little and went with the whole strong independent woman theme like everyone is doing these days. Sucked.

Rosamund Pike was a much better fit. She was formidable in her own right, but she was a woman. Reacher was allowed to be the man.

I`m gonna` watch it but have been watching mucho movies lartely.....I`ll start tomorrow for sure....looks good

Gym-Rat · « **Reply #13 on:** February 06, 2022, 12:15:49 AM »

started the series last night (1st 2 episodes)
my first thought was "wow no wokeness" (yet) and a guy who actually looks the part (jacked up, etc) and not some new-age, testosterones-negative skinny hollyweird twink (like the he-man twink).
calling that cop "you look like black sherlock holmes" lol
i thought more like steve urkell, but whatever

I've never seen the Tom Cruise films and I don't intend to, but I've started watching this series and it's definitely got promise. Enjoyed that prison fight scene.

The Reacher Amazon show is good. They got his favorite move in there...the headbutt.

I've read many of the Reacher novels. Some of those get a bit over the top making him into a superhero.

The guy playing Reacher is a good choice. Tom Cruise was miscast badly as Reacher.

Good recommendation

It's an entertaining show.

Im watching season 1 now. Its like you said: action junk food .

It reminds me of a throwback to the 80's action films.

they finally showed blondies teets in the shower scene
hoping to see her ass-cheeks though
they showed the dudes, cmon its the least they can do
odd happenings these days on tv
showing tons of male-ass (not good) and hardly any female
modern day gay hollyweird writers?
or maybe trying to not make women 'an object' these days?
fail
well, maybe folks like vince (and gals) like the men-ass
majority of those who watch 'reacher(round)' do not care to see that
