> [@solost](#): > > **Reacher, Amazon** (Feb. 4) I’ve read several of the books years ago and liked them well enough, but they became so formulaic I just quit. I just watched the first three episodes of this and it’s well worth the time. The guy that plays Reacher is totally spot on. They’ve also added small bits of humor that I don’t remember from the books. I could see myself watching 8 episodes of this every year. Recommend you give it a try. > [@Chad\_Sudan](#): > > If you have a VPN and can point it toward Australia, I highly recommend the miniseries “Jack Irish,” starring Guy Pearce. This is available thru Amazon on Acorn TV. If you like UK, Australia and NZ shows, this is worth the $5.99 a month. Yes, it’s a good show, but I had to keep telling myself that wasn’t Brad Pitt starring. Great humor also. > [@solost](#): > > Finished it. Again, this show is supposed to be a parody of a murder-mystery (I …think?) but the parody elements are so weak and weird, and fall so flat, that they just become annoying. Well, crap! I was looking forward to this one. Kristen Bell usually nails this type of show. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-shows-have-you-either-begun-to-watch-or-are-looking-forward-to-watching-feb-2022-edition/958799)._
