Oh dear. It’s on my holiday break binge list. Thought it looked okay in the trailer, and it was reviewing okay on IMDB at that point. What’s wrong with it?
I read the book, the actor is decent, the lead actress is REALLY irritating. I just find her very condesending. I made it thru 3 episodes and gave up. The movie was better.

Started it over the weekend, in between everything else. Only two episodes in, and I agree with you - very enjoyable watching. The Brits do these sort of dramas so much better than the Americans.
I’ve somehow managed to watch Reacher season 1 three times now, twice on my own and once with my girlfriend, I really hope they make a next season soon.
