he wanted to bench press the car a few times as he’d barely been allowed to sleep, let alone lift.
Television Reacher (Amazon Prime) - Season 3 - Feb 20th
- Thread starter Big Andy
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Still, these guys don't seem to have questions about that shit just being on the road to his house. Makes no sense.
Couldn't understand him scrambling around looking for some place to hide the badge either, only to hide it in his pillow like a child.
I've moved onto Paulie, he seems like more of cuddler.
This show is ultimate “dad tv”. We are all just vicariously living through Reacher, daydreaming of walking into a room and people shatting their pants at the mere sight of us. Then there is the ability to quickly and simply solve all problems with a burst of egregious violence, with no real world repercussions. Plus the ability to answer the door almost exclusively in your underwear and 90% of the time it’s a hot French maid or milf cop, who gets an immediate bout of the fanny flutters.
In terms of plot, logic, pacing, acting, direction or point, this show objectively becomes more terrible with each passing episode; but the Reacher underwear, violence, brooding, and manliness factors are trending increasingly off the charts. And that’s all that matters here. This season gave us Paulie, a true behemoth for our ultra alpha manly man meat beefcake hero to slay. Next season they’ll have to do a Marvel crossover to introduce an evil Hulk running guns and knocking off old members of the 110 special investigators unit. I assume that would ultimately culminate in the only logical conclusion to this series in the form of a rain drenched underwear wrestling match at night, with flames in the background, between TVs manliest man ever, and a raged out evil Bruce Banner clone.

They've toned down Paulie a hell of a lot in the series over the books.
In the books, Beck's wife is alive and Paulie is raping her on the regular. The big fight between Reacher/Paulie starts when Reacher interrupts Paulie making Beck's son have sex his mum while he watches
Yo wtf, thank feck they didn't add that.
I dunno, it would’ve spiced things up a bit.
Jesus Christ! Toned down is putting it lightly
I agree they can't show that, but this hatred between them just feels a bit flat, with no real reason behind it other than male bravado.
You’ve got a point, although I buy that reacher wouldn’t like him due to his first impression of him being rude, plus what he learned along the way about him cutting off the kids ear, generally being a bully and then killing the maid. What you described in the book though would certainly add a new dimension to it!

Here you go. Just like when you were a kid and found a porno mag that had been thrown into a hedge.
