Haven't read any of the books featuring Jack Reacher and didn't see the movies with Tom Cruise. But reading all the above reviews by you guys, I thought maybe it would help solve the perennial problem of something to watch after dinner.

We are between shows, having just finished all six seasons of "Downton Abbey," for the 3rd time (DH's favorite, by the way). He also loves old Clint Eastwood movies which I do not, anything by the Coen Brothers, and Netflix "World War II in Color" documentaries. He also is able to enjoy female-oriented shows I've chosen, like "Call the Midwife" and the "Good Witch."

So as not to diminish my good standing in control of the remote, I thought a show more in line with male tastes would be wise at this time. We watched the first two episodes of "Jack Reacher" last night and both enjoyed it. I love the lead actor who is handsome, strong, and has "kind eyes," as noted by the female police officer. And he reminds DH of Clint Eastwood, so we are both happy. We look forward to the rest of the episodes, thanks to you all. And now I don't need to see Tom Cruise in the "Reacher" movies, either.
