Outstanding. I love the show.

Cool. This is one of those guilty pleasure kind of shows.

No doubt. You aren't watching it for acting brilliance or fantastic cinematography.

Which pretty much tells you that they've captured the essence of the novels pretty well.

Lee Childs ain't exactly Tolstoy.

As the Critical Drinker calls it, definitely a delicious bacon cheeseburger show.

Really enjoyed the first season and looking forward to where they are going to take the second.

The lead actor seems much more believable than Tom Cruise; his first movie was okay and I didn't bother with the second one...

Alot of shows on Amazon actually premier in the US a day before there scheduled date. The Wheel of Time was always scheduled for Friday (I think) release, but was available at like 7 pm CST.

One of the movies was on the other night and it was so terrible it took me about 3-4 minutes to determine that it wasn't in fact satire and I'm supposed to believe a 5ft 6inch 140lbs Tom Cruise it out there smoking guys twice his size.

42. I think - old enough that I have to do the math.

It's just easy for me to suspend disbelief with Cruise at this point. I've watched him play assassins and action heroes for essentially a quarter century at this point. There's just very little that's a bridge too far with him for me. Though admittedly, this one was pushing it a bit.

Compare it to the visceral violence of the Amazon series and yeah, it's nowhere near as convincing. But again - when it's Cruise, I just shut up and eat my popcorn.

Cruise is such a good actor that even though he's on the Mt. Rushmore of Scientology, people still flock to all his movies. He's great in everything and charismatic as hell.
[Reply]

I believe he left Scientology.
[Reply]

He did?

I thought that would be pretty big hollywood news. At least if I was his publicist I'd make it big news.

In the first movie Cruise nailed the dry sarcastic wit of Reacher. I didn’t struggle with adaptation. I do enjoy the Amazon series more. I have read almost all the books. Working on the most recent now.
