    One (maybe 2?) episode per week after the initial 3.

    I'm not sure when they release. I want to say Thursday, but don't quote me on that. I usually don't watch until Sunday night.

    Yes look like Thursday Midnight releases for the final 5 episodes - 8 in total. It's hard in a condensed series like this to replicate the "drifter" aspect of the Reacher character found in the novels and how much time he spends just wandering around (with his folding toothbrush) by hitchhiking and bus travel and then somehow always finds trouble lurking in small town USA. I like Tom Cruise as an actor but he is so far removed from the gigantic hulk that Reacher really is as is superbly characterized by the Prime series Reacher. Not sure if you're a Bosch fan but Titus Welliver portrays him wonderfully in the Prime series.

    Yeah, Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher was an absolute joke. I didn't read the books, but knew enough about the character to know Cruise should have never been cast.

    For that matter, TECHNICALLY, Alan Ritchson is too short to play him. ;) (He's 6'3'') But good luck finding someone the appropriate size who can also act the part. And Ritchson is just an absolute beast. He was big when he played Thad on Blue Mountain State. Now, he's ridiculous. :lolol:

    ... and yet, they still managed to find a guy who dwarfs him to play Paulie. :icon e surprised: I half expected them to get Hafthor Bjornsson. This guy even towers over him!

    The last wife episode was just a mind twist for me. Do Innies have their own Innies? Question: Was his wife working at Severance when they were married?

    I barely made it through the Outdoor episode, and then they throw this curve ball "Wife" episode at me. During the Outdoor episode when he said "This is the largest Waterfall on the planet", I had to ask "What Planet are they on?"

    And, I still don't have a clue what year it is. The cars seem to be out of the 80s, the cell phones are smart phones with multiple cameras, and everyone has a cassette player.
