Justified: City Primeval (2023)
Raglan Good Daughter Bad
Good to see Raylan back. Dealing with scum. Bad guys you would like to help Raylan put six feet under. Plot was good, but I am sorry the daughter was just annoying from day one. Spoilt brat who you wish would just go back to mummy and keep quiet.
The bad guy was a bit of a cartoon but it was good to see him get what was coming to him. Last episode opened up the possibility of Raylan meeting with an old friend, which could be interesting in second season. Hopefully the daughter will be sent to a boarding school so she will not be in the second series. Would recommend this series, not as good as the original Justified, but hopefully it will get better.
Reacher (2022)
Why deviate from book
Started 2 season well then up to episode 6, just lost the plot. Nothing like the book. Characters are turned around. Location completrly wrong. Why call it Reacher and from the Lee Child's book if you are not going to tell the story from the book. The story in the book is better thought out and flows better, this second series is nothing like the book. They guy who plays Reacher is good and so are the other actors but why deviate from a good story and just make it a run of the mill good guys against bad guys. They have not done Lee Child proud with this take on his story. Too many changes, just call it something else but not a Reacher story.
Unforgotten (2015)
Season 5
Just finished watching the latest season of Unforgotten. Still well acted, it has lost something since the death of Cassie. But unfortunately this last season was was an excuse to Tory bash and how black people are badly treated by whites. The people taking no responsibility for their actions because it was the bad Tory white people. It is a shame it has defaulted to this storyline. The characters are mostly believable, with the few exceptions that I find hard to believe would be allowed to get away with what they say and do. Perhaps next season will get back on track and leave hatred of Tories and white people out of the story.
