will poulter's character is probably the best mentor marcus could have. he's so calm, patient and open. I'm curious to see the growth that the Copenhagen trip will bring to Marcus (in his culinary skills and in general).
Walton Goggins has played some interesting characters in the past, but The Ghoul is iconic.
will poulter, the man you are
If you read this comment, it means you liked the series too. It ended leaving many questions in my mind. I'm glad the cowboy and the girl got together and her dad was a jerk. As always, as every good thing has an end, we have come to the end of this beautiful thing. Who will wait for the second season now? It's an excellent series, I've played and watched more or less the game. The acting, the environment, the effects, everything was good. Your efforts are like health and medicine.:blush:
God damn. Alan Ritchson’s abs have abs.
I like the story but the camera work, especially the zooming, is annoying and poorly done.
I really liked The Ghoul’s and the little brother’s vault story coming to an epic shared conclusion. Lucy and Maximus had a really boring journey throughout, and never really seemed to grow as characters, Maximus is still a dumbass and Lucy is still clueless and gullible.
Really liked the camera work on this first episode. Great setup episode.
I stayed far from spoilers so I didn’t know what to expect. Watched the next 2 episodes in a row. I love that the runtime is 30 minutes.
man does he ever get to eat the pie? I guess we'll find out.
Am I in the minority in enjoying Marcus's character? His one-track mind, naivete, and zeal for wanting to improve are all interesting characteristics. His mom being sick is kind of a cliche backstory, but I like that he is sort of an aimless wanderer trying to figure out his new role.
I love the actress playing roscoe, plus the ending of the episode was perfect.
I get that Reacher is basically a superhero, and sure, suspension of disbelief. But come on, repeated head shots with a crow bar?
Somebody, please! Get this man a gun!
This first episode looked promising. Really good style and definitely a creepy storyline. It will be interesting to see where it‘ll go.
A very intruiging first episode. Looking forward to binging the entire series :)
Sufficiently creepy and engaging, which I expect from Shyamalan.
Nice world building. And our characters are meaty enough, and carried by good actors.
marcus is my beloved and I'm so happy for him. also will poulter here was fire. he's really moved up since maze runner eh
Not yet sold on the idea that watching awful people be miserable is something I want to dedicate hours of my life to, but pilot episodes are always a little shaky, even if this one was shakier than most.
And while the writing was hit and miss, I absolutely hated most of the filmmaking. From the camerawork to the editing, this found a way to press nearly every one of my buttons in the worst way. Really hoping they cut back on this style as the show goes on.
The performances were spectacular, though.
Alan Jones: You see Wayne much anymore?
Roland West: Not at all, and I don't know why.
Alan Jones: No hard feelings, though?
Roland West: Not between him and me. We were good friends, the way I see it. I think it was... once we stopped workin' together, we just stopped. Sometimes it's like that with people.
Giving this another go since I keep hearing about how good it's gotten. I think this is the third time I've watched this pilot episode and I've also read the book, but I can't make any sense of what's going on here. The attempt to set up a coherent story is a failure, with bland actors playing very uninteresting characters. Nobody seems to like each other and all the dialogue is difficult to make out.
Beautiful episode. Love Will Poulter's character. It was a very nice example of how travel and new experiences can really change a person for the better. I'm so proud of Marcus too, he's doing his best to become a better version of himself that he probably thought he never could do.
First episode is perfection. Literally makes me want to read the books. Loved every minute of it. Alan Ritchson definitely has something special here.
Another great episode, however I wasn't happy with the romanticization of women binge-drinking at the end. I wish TV shows would stop doing that. It's not empowering, it's normalizing alcohol abuse.
the music was so good, as per usual. will poulter’s character was nice, his straight face-ness gives an intimidating first impression but his conversations with marcus were very refreshing. that bike incident was really cool and i’m wondering if it will be spoken about again. i’d almost like if it wasn’t. it just felt like one of those odd close encounters with strangers that happen sometimes. idk how to word that.
if marcus’s mother dies, man :(
Not the best introduction, it bounces around between the characters a lot and it's kinda annoying.
I do like the concept though, hopefully the rest of the series is more focused.

aving read all of the Lee Child, Reacher series, I was looking forward to this, wasn't disappointed with the first epp, so looking forward to getting into this.
Tom Cruise has star power on his side and is a better actor than people give him credit for. It was rather amazing he managed to survive in a part he just wasn't right for. This actor is exactly right. I'm happy to see this series. This is true to the book. Only thing is to me the book was depressing, grim, I couldn't finish it. This reminds me of the sort of mystery show the Brits crank out by the dozen, interesting well acted ensemble acting of interesting characters with a central character who may have some unsavory factors but at root is fan lovable. I dunno if I want it to get more true to the books. This I find this fine as it is. :-)
