Reacher, on Amazon.

[Gman]

Amen. Started watching last night and I think we're on episode 4. We're loving Reacher.

I've never read the books, but my dad has. He couldn't believe how far off the Tom Cruise movies were. Based on what I've seen so far, and his description of the character from the books, I think he'll be happy with this series. I'll have to chat with him today about it.

Edited to correct Tapatalk punctuation.

ETA: Finished the series last night. Was worth the time spent. Wife and sister were disappointed that they'll have to wait for season 2 for more beefcake.

I binged the first 4 episodes yesterday LOL. I guess that means I like it haha. Truly enjoyable especially with an actor that ?measured up? to the literary character and not the diminutive Tom Cruise.

Binge watched in in a 2 evening sitting. The guy who plays Reacher, also was in Titans (a dc) series on hbo? or other pay channel. He (Alan) said he bulked up for the reacher character. Which is impressive as he was a pretty healthy looking guy in titans.

We kind of ran out of free stuff on Amazon so are doing Netflix for a while. Did the CD thing years ago but no more. My ancient neighbor is still doing Netflix CD mailings. His streaming bandwidth is limited.

We've been enjoying Shooter, about a Marine sniper who's framed for an attempted assassination on the president. Political intrigue and plenty of gunfire. Pretty good even though it keeps going on and on and on.

Have also been enjoying Virgin River. Life and times of people in a small town, filmed in British Columbia. One of the protagonists is ex-military squad leader continuing to work with his team.

I’m just going to come clean and admit I’ve been curling for near a decade now. With that admission, I’ve been impressed with the mixed doubles teams this Olympic season. It’s not a series, granted, but I paid the $5 for a peacock subscription to see it.

This has probably been discussed already, but my wife and I really enjoyed the first two seasons of Star Trek Discovery. Even discounting the full SJW swing in season 3, season 3 just wasn’t entertaining. We’d pretty well given up before they went full SJW anyway, it was just the cherry on top of a turd. Seasons 1 and 2 are worth a watch.

A coworker clued me in that anyone with Comcast/xfinity internet only, can get a free flex box and access to the peacock network. It has some limited commercials unfortunately, but I'd been wanting to check out Yellowstone. It turns out you don't even need the box if you can DL the peacock app on you TV or phone, etc.

Amazon Fire TV devices have Peacock Network available. They also have the Xfinity Stream app, which is how I get Xfinity programming to my TVs (including DVR recordings) without paying for more than a single cable box.

I am surprised they still do the mailing thing. That is amazing (not in a bad way) and brings back some nostalgia.

I watched both After Life (3 season series/Ricky Gervais), & Nobody this last week. They were fine, better than most everything else.

Im not finding much that really holds my interest nowadays.

Watched Battleship Island about a month ago on netflix. Based on a true story of a Japanese Island off the coast of Nagasaki where coal was mined by Korean prisoners during WW2.
The story is about how several hundred prisoners escaped, lots of wild action.
South Korean with English subtitles, pretty well made with an unusual 'dark' atmosphere like the "300".
