HIGHLY recommend The Terminal List on Amazon. Half way through and I can't wait to finish it. It's really good.
I thought it was pretty good in dealing with the mental side of military ailments. Reacher I loved and can’t wait till season 2.

Reacher was pretty good, I crack up thinking about little Tom Cruise playing him in the movies. Book Reacher is a total monster like Alan Ritchson from the series.

My most recent show is The Boys. Finished all 3 seasons in about 3 days while somewhat bedridden from ACL surgery a couple weeks back. Absolutely fantastic show. Homelander is one of the best villains ever created and there's no doubt in my mind about that. I would recommend to anyone.

I go by the theory that Homelander is actually the hero of the show and Hughie is the big bad Villian. You just need to ignore all those people Homelander kills.

It's absolutely terrific. The scene at the start of season 3 with the ant man type character and the coke was mind blowing. How demented do you even have to be to write that? Crazy good show.

I have finished 3 different seasons of shows since Christmas:

Jack Ryan Season 3 - Wasn't as good as season 1, which I enjoyed, or season 2 which was alright. I was disappointed cause I just found a lot of the actions just completely unbelievable/implausible, more so than usual for this type of show.

Reacher Season 1 - Really enjoyed this show (I have never read the books but have seen the 2 movies).

White Lotus Season 1 - I thought it was kinda blah, and not sure why it was soo hyped. I have heard Season 2 is better, but I may try watching something else in the meantime before I revisit this show.

If anyone has any recommendations along the lines of Reacher, or spy type series, would appreciate it.

I almost fired that up the other night but hadn't heard ANYTHING about it which made me think it must not be good.

Thanks for the heads up. It sounded like it could be good or horrible lol.

Not a spy series but a spy movies on Netflix.

Munich the Edge of War was good and so was Operation Mincemeat. Not spectacular but worth the watch imo.

I also went into The Menu just having heard it was good, a horror/comedy, and some of the actors.

I enjoyed it. Had the right pace and the actors all really filled their roles.

Someone mentioned it earlier but I enjoyed Terminal List with Chris Pratt and also Extraction with Chris Hemsworth. Both are more military than spy but Terminal List leans spy with the theory’s involved.

Reacher I loved, just well done all around creatively, acting and writing.

Jack Ryan season 3 I have only watch 1 episode to watch. If my opinion ends up the same as yours, that will be disappointing. I also liked season 1 more than 2 despite them having a larger budget so hopefully this show isn’t going in the wrong direction.

M Night movies typically are very hit or miss for me. I love the idea of the twists on the stories he tells. With that said, I am very interested in Knock at the Cabin.
