Liz doesn't normally like watching shows like this but she would sit down with me on a Friday night and watch the 1984 version, a bottle of wine, crisps and peanuts went down a treat in the good old days. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086822/ 1 Quote

The switching of stories of the 2 main characters and the method of communication between them makes this a cleverly made series. Last 20 minutes was tense, there will be a second season. 8.3/10.

I remember watching it and thinking they were going to follow in the footsteps of the original which im glad they totally didnt. 1 Quote

I'd avoid the original its a bit slow but its good sci-fi for its time and yes she is creepy AF with her body language and more importantly the way her eyes scan the room in certain sequences. Also helps that shes hot and has the body-features to pull off the role required. 1 Quote
Subscriber Viva la FCB+ Posted February 1, 2022 Subscriber Posted February 1, 2022 Binged The White Lotus well I was off. Different, kinda quirky but quite relatable and touched on alot of different subject matter. Quite enjoyed it overall. 1 Quote

nudge Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 @CaaC (John), check out Reacher on Amazon Prime. New series, just released today, should be your cup of tea! Quote

I've seen a clip and yes much closer yet we have gone from a short guy to a bodybuilder with fair hair. I'm sure Reacher had dark hair and though no was no weakling was not a bodybuilder either. Still suppose the fight scenes look more authentic. Quote

Aye, my son just told me too and I am going to watch it tonight once our grandson hits the pillow as he is here for the night, that guy shits all over Cruise as Reacher, the actor Alan Ritchson is 6ft 2inc AND built like a brick shithouse.

That first series is based on the first book of Reacher by Child, I would imagine the book being better which I have read a few times but anything is better than watching Cruise as Reacher. Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 6, 2022 Subscriber Posted February 6, 2022 Bloody hell, I am hooked on this series of Reacher now played by Alan Ritchson and he fits the character brilliantly, just finished episode 4 and I will finish the rest tomorrow, a lot of good humour in it and a few laughs too, @nudge and @Waylander watch it, I reckon you will like it, Tom Cruise can take a running fucking jump. Can't say it's the same as the book but all films are like that, still enjoy the episodes, our son watched the whole series in one hit and enjoyed them. 1 1 Quote

I pissed myself laughing at this bit and so did our son when he was watching it in his room lying in bed. Spoiler One of the bits in it he shot 2 guys and tried stuffing them in the boot of a car, one would not fit so he broke his leg and hooked it over his body to get it in when he showed the policewomen Roscoe, she looked at him with a shocked look and he looked at her and smiled as if to say "had to do that to fit him in", reading all his books like I have he has done that a few times when he popped someone off. 1 Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted February 6, 2022 Subscriber Posted February 6, 2022 That's the Reacher series watched (8 episodes) and I can gladly say Ritchson IS REACHER, when I read any more of Child books on Reacher I will visualise Ritchson as the latter and the end bit was exactly like in the book, brutal and Reacher avenged his brother Joe's death, roll on the next series. 1 Quote
MUFC Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 Anyone seen a series called Apaches? Guy who plays El Pacho in Narcos is the main actor. Watched 2 episodes and is good. True test of loyalty and friendship. Quote

True test of loyalty and friendship. Watched 3 out of 12 episodes. Not usually a fan of backstories, but this series times them really well. It's emotionally draining, regarding the father. Won't go into detail though. Quote
