I too enjoyed the first season.... but to be critical... except for the very final.... kind of stupid that it took him so long with so many explosions and fires to finally put down that punk.

It seems with many of these streaming shows that what would be a two hour movie just gets s t r e c h e d o u t to make an 8-10 show "season". I did enjoy the Jack Reacher shows though.

Looking forward to this. We enjoyed the first series.

Looking forward to it. Definitely enjoy the series more than the movies with Tom Cruise.

On the other hand, the main complaint when a book is made into a 2 hour movie is how much of what made the book great gets left out. The one season series format is a nice balance between getting into deeper detail but not dragging it out season after season until it jumps the shark.
The main thing I like about these one season series like Reacher and The Terminal List is that they have enough time to develop deeper storylines and have the time to wrap them up. The new season is a new story with it’s own beginning and end.

We’re definitely looking forward to season two,,, probably rewatch the first season for the third time in the next few weeks.

^^^^^ Right there with you, Skeet. I vaguely remember Season 1 and get it confused with the movie. Thing is, I'll certainly ENJOY watching Season 1 again!!

Count me in too.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I am looking forward to it too. Although the Cruise movie "Jack Reacher" based on the book "One Shot" was pretty good.

^^^ I thought so too, despite many thinking he didn't fit Reacher's stature.
As for the Reacher series, I refreshed my memory with the first three episodes of season one last night. Great second time through.

Stoked for this too. Haven’t had any great recommendations lately for Prime, Hulu, Max, or Disney+. Never really got into any form of Star Wars and can’t bring myself to watch GoT after hearing how bad the final season was.
