    Watched the first couple episodes of Reacher on Amazon Prime. If you have read any of the Reacher books by Lee Child (and there are a ton of them), the series does a pretty good job of capturing the overall feel/vibe of the character...loner, complicated past, always comes out on top, etc.

     

    If you know the books, then you know that while the Tom Cruise movies were decent entertainment, the character he was playing was NOT the Jack Reacher. Cruise is 5' 6" with heals and maybe 150 lbs. Reacher is 6'5", 240lbs and a menacing dude. This series, for the most part, at least gets that part right. I was hoping the actor would be a bit more brooding and weathered and a little less handsome and chiselled, but after 2 episodes it's working for me.

     

    One note - if you are a fan of the books, then you know that the stories often rely on wild leaps of faith, impossible coincidences, and a general suspension of logic, all of which are present in the series. It makes Jack Ryan look positively by-the-book. But it works! The books are well-written, pulpy fun, and so far so is the series.

    Roscoe is a dime piece and was pretty pumped (and surprised) she had a nude scene!

    Finally watched Episode 1 of "Squid Game" on Netflix last night.

     

    I liked it well enough, though it took a long time to get to the actual "game" part of the show.

     

    Is everyone else watching this?

     

     

    Autumn called and it wants its show du jour back. I kid I kid….I watched it and really enjoyed it. Interesting take on society and humanity.

    What is the reasoning for flexing? I get moving a primetime matchup to a night game. But why change a matchup like Bills/Jets to 4:25? 

    My guess is it technically is a larger viewing audience for the 4:25 slot and the division is in fact on the line. So anything even remotely on the line will be better viewership from a networks point of view.
