bruce-129's rating
What could be wrong about a guy who has no job, no permanent address, no possessions, who everyone in the military has heard the mthology of, loves and carries out any request he asks, even from cold phone calls?
Reacher, a guy who never makes mistakes, who has a perfect sense of morality and patriotism, and goes around killing people in cold blood, after the plot sets them up satisfactorily as bad guys who need to die.
I liked the Reacher movies with Tom Cruise, even though I would not say I am a Cruise fans, but the Reacher series is entertaining, it just rubs me the wrong way in that the character is ridiculous, and the plots are just excuses for very rough scenes of violence.
Additionally, at least in my opinion the seasons have gotten progressively worse and more gratuitous as they go.
Finally, it is like a comic book or video game. I watched an episode of S3 and the blocking and dialog was exactly like a video game, and even Reacher himself, looked like he was computer generated.
Watch for entertainment if you like this kind of stuff, but for me, nothing here, here. 3/10.

I noticed this one Amazon, "Those Who Kill", seasons 1-4. Having run out of things to watch I began watching this series not expecting much.
"Those Who Kill" started out slow, but am currently starting S4 and I think this series is brilliant. It seems so different from the stereotypical American crime/detective dramas, and I thought the acting on all the characters was brilliant.
I really love the character of Louise because she is a human being and not some kind of super-hero.
Very little over-acting or gratuitous violence and blood. Denmark has made some very good series, Those Who Kill among them.

I saw the teasers/previews for this show and since I liked ( past tense ) Paul Rudd in some of his early stuff before he got so famous and commercial I figured it had to be at least OK, no matter how unpleasant I think it is watching Will Ferrill who has not a subtle bone in his flabby body.
I watched a while and it felt like watching a dramatization of the worst in humanity. That's the feeling I wished people would have gotten when they watch stuff like "The Godfather" or "The Sopranos". To me, seeing the worst behavior and crimes one person can do to another and be completely guilt free felt horrible watching this show, and reminded me of our President and his followers.
This show should be used as psychopath test - if you like this show you may have psychopathic tendencies.
Anyway, I watched a couple episodes when it came out, and today I noticed it was still in my watch list so I thought I'd see if it was really so bad as I remember it since it got pretty high ratings. It was worse.
I don't even see how these two actors could work on this show without feeling like traitors to the human race. Could not stomach even a few more minutes of watching this again. It would make a better crime documentary.
A rating of 1/10 is a number I usually reserve for movies so bad they hurt to watch and make you turn then off - unwatchable. Sadly, this is watchable, but it crawls inside your gut and makes you want to throw up.
I have to rate 1/10,
