I'm only one episode into Reacher but quite enjoyable stuff . I'll keep going. I have not. Now to be honest, I have no knowledge of the Reacher character as written. I only knew the Tom Cruise version but heard that the description of the character (6' + and 250 lbs) was absent from the movies. That being said I though they portrayed Ritchson's version as a little more of a meathead, even though his background would indicate otherwise. It just felt that TC's version was a little smarter. but that's just my opinion on a single pass through the series. I also found it a little hard to believe that the skinny little guy, no matter how much of a psycho he was, could land the blows and hammer Reacher like he did. I gotta believe one landed punch from Reacher would put just about anybody down handily.

Yellowjackets 2021 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11041332/ - I love this sort of show. Takes place now and 25 years earlier in 1996 and tells the story of a girl's football team lost in the wilderness of Canada after a plane crash. I really thought this would be a one off, but it's clear there will be more. It seemed to take an age to watch, but it was only 10 episodes. I'm a bit unsure of the show as a whole though. There is so much mystery that you just want some answers, or even just the odd clue as to what's happening/happened. I have read there may be 5 series - wow maybe another Lost (hopefully not). In saying that, it must have its good bits as I've had it in the back of my mind for the last few days. 8/10 for series 1. PS - wth has happened to Juliette Lewis?

^Thanks. I've got them in my queue but just haven't gotten around to giving them a spin.

^ and? 

I missed Caprica, a 1.5 season spin-off prequel to the Battlestar Galactica reboot when it first came out. Really enjoyed this and the story of the Cylons' origins and what lead them to be the way they were in the reboot. Of particular interest is the mix of spacefaring civilization technology with an amalgam of steampunk-like architecture and the modernist glass Graystone mansion. It's fascinating seeing 1960s American cars, a 1960s Citroën, and what I think is a Rolls Royce from the 1960s in different scenes of the show. The diverse cast was great, most of which I was unfamiliar with prior to watching this. The exception being Teryl Rothery of Stargate SG-1 fame.

Just finished season 1 of Only Murders In The Building............fairly entertaining quirky comedy murder drama set in an upper west side  New York condo. 

Cowboy Bebop 2021 10 episodes

All done with A Discovery of Witches, 3 series in total. The final series felt like they were just going through the motions to get it done; and only 7 episodes. For all 3 series: 7/10
