We have to start out nice, but you go hands on with a CO, and even Jack Reacher will have up to 140 guys and gals with OC, taser, and baton if needed.
    And if he truly is that tough, the PD is one floor down.
    Yeah, threatening to severely harm a CO is not going to get you very far. Some technical advisors could really have cleaned up telling mistakes. From Episode 2: A detective at a Georgia police department would not call the Georgia State Patrol the "Georgia State Police". And who TF calls the US Secret Service "the secret services division of Homeland"? No one, that's who. But then they use the correct term, "Office of Investigations", to refer to the USSS' investigative arm.

    Just finished season 1. It was decent, despite a few technical errors. I'm online to be a real fan of Alan Ritchson and miss dimples, Willa Fitzgerald. I'll watch a season two. I've read a couple of the Child books, but not the one the series was based on. I'd like to see this artists intrepurtion of the books I have read.

    I noticed that I have a tendency to confuse Child's Jack Reacher with Clancy's John Kelly. I was explaining his back story to my wife when I realized of was confusing the two. If you haven't read "Without Remorse," you missed out on a great book. I haven't watched the Netflix version yet. I'm hoping they didn't take a great story and turned it into a woke version. I'll give it a shot eventually.

    We just finished it as well. Silly, but entertaining.

    I thought I'd hate it but I didn't.

    I just took a break and re-watched some True Detective, Season 1. Now that's a cop show.

    It lost me at the very end of the season...but yeah, that was a fun ride. I really wish they had continued with that dynamic.

    That's my favorite reaction to any situation in the books.
