When someone says "full frontal" when referencing a movie, it's usually related to sex. Last thing I was looking at with that guy was his junk.

That's exactly what my husband said - Tom Cruise is puny and far too small for the role.

Yeah, that's not the kind of full frontal I like to see.

Ok, what episode is the full frontal?


The only full-frontal I saw was Roscoe, topless - which was totally unnecessary because it didn't add to the story. I have no problem with nudity, but when it doesn't fit the story line it feels cheap and lazy on the writers part.

I think it was Ep 3 or 4

They are incorporating Reacher's take no shit style though, and straightforward personality traits that only a guy his size can get away with.
Can't get a dead guy in the truck, break his legs so they fit.

That was a total vanity role for Cruise, who ridiculously cast himself.

My DH and are are three episodes in and really enjoying this, and there’s not a lot we can find to watch together. The mystery reminds me of True Detective but the show has much more of a light feel like a caper. Some unrealistic stuff but I haven’t been outraged at having to suspend my disbelief over nonsense yet.

Oooo, I’ll have to see if my husband will watch with me. We both read a lot of his books on planes when we traveled a bunch for work.

I watched the first episode last night. I don’t think we’ll watch more.

I thought the detective was over exaggerating his body language and general acting, like it felt as if he was in a lot of theatre productions and it didn’t seem to translate well. Or maybe it’s just not great writing or directing for the role.

Reacher himself. I thought his movements / mannerisms seemed wooden, and the dialogue delivered kind of oddly with smirks.

Roscoe felt like, I don’t know, superfluous - we need a peacemaker that doesn’t really do much, here you go use this role.

Maybe it’s just the first episode. Anyway, didn’t feel drawn to it.

DH and I really like it. I was a little nervous when I saw the trailer at how laid back and funny it made him seem but in the end I think it's a good portrayal. He's a little more blond, handsome and cut than I imagined Reacher to be, but at least the size and character seem accurate.
