Re: Worth watching on telly
Well we really enjoyed it Alan Ritchson is much more convincing as Jack Reacher than Tom Cruise was in the movie version. Having read most of the books written by Lee Child it was good to see some decent casting. Also enjoyed Bruce McGill as the mayor/chief of police. The series was based on the book Killing Floor first published in 1997.Davycc wrote:Was going to start that last night so may just begin tonightNottinghamWhite wrote:Finished all 8 episodes binge watching, the series didn’t disappoint loads of action & a decent story line.

Last night watched 'Marley' a 2012 documentary/biography about life of Bob Marley.
A very informative and interesting movie. Revealed another side of the mainstream impression of a pot smoking rock star.

Well I binged it last night and finished it in the early hours . OK here goes Mark Kermode V2:D
A very enjoyable action series much of which features the impressively put together Mr Ritchson. My only issue with the above would be the only muscles that didn't seem to move were the ones on his face which made him very one dimensional to me. Maybe this was playing to his "I don't say a lot unless I have to" personality.
As for the female lead, Roscoe was an interesting character, sassy, not hard on the eye especially in some scenes. I actually think she made the show. Having binged this all in one go I obviously did enjoy it and would recommend it as it did keep me saying "ok just one more episode.
I'm going to use the spoiler function for a few things but just to say that the action scenes were typical movie nonsense but in an enjoyable way and I guess you need some "poetic licence for these things. For example :
