We are between shows, having just finished all six seasons of "Downtown 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.

I always thought it was Downtown Abbey too until I took another look and was really surprised to see that it is actually Downton Abbey.
