Reacher: ATM (2023)
Meh
Step down from season 1 so far. They spoon feed all the backstory and information. The most lazy thing the writers can do is make the character explain every single thing that is happening, and that's exactly what we have here. Not to mention that the dialogue is cheesy and stale at times. Reacher fighting military officers on purpose as a team building exercise? Beating up drug dealers to get a gun? The added drama during the checking the post office boxes scene is ridiculous. I know there is a lot to balance when creating a show with this kind of a hero, but it all just feels like low hanging fruit. Far cry from what I loved about the last season.
Shadow and Bone (2021)
Season 1 was really good. Season 2 was miserable.
I really really enjoyed season 1. It made me read the books and I read them all while they were making season 2. It didn't take long in season 2 for things to go off the rails. Idk who was in charge but man they did a horrible job. Please STOP changing stories to try and be politically correct. The story was written very well in the books and now it makes no sense. How is Inej saving the sun summoner after she has all the amplifiers? Why are these legendary swords so tiny and dumb looking? Why are all the good grisha terrible at combat? Why was Alina not more bad ass? It makes no sense. The six of crows story got in the way imo. Which sucks cause I love the actual story. First season it was cleverly interwoven, this season it messed up the continuity. The characters seem scattered as well because the choices they make in the show don't line up with who they are. It's almost infuriating watching the show go down in flames.
