Quite. They think they're in some twee Ealing comedy when really it's written by Iannucci.

Yeah, I felt S2 of The Gentlemen convinces you he'd be a great Bond in the Pierce Brosnan mould. I think he'll be a Clive Owen type, a wonderful what if scenario.

Universal's brief Dark Universe. One terrible film and a press release photo.

The one he just wrapped in Malta, "Jason Statham Stole My Bike" must be a comedy.

It's like the inverse of 90s Trek. This time, the first 2 seasons are good and everything from S3 onwards is hit and miss.

If it's any consolation, watching Reacher makes me feel old.

I think it might be a generational thing. Cos with Reacher, every season I'm recognising actors who were big in teen shows and films that I watched as a kid/teen.

The writers themselves have said the script could be divided into 6x30min eps, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms style. So they either sold a spec feature or a spec mini series.

I agree. With The OC, it took 9 eps for the leads to have their first kiss. With Sterling Point and Off Campus, you're getting love triangles resolved in under 8 eps when these things used to fuel 44 eps.

Yep, the last cut off point to shoot this was 2017 when Mel was riding the Hacksaw Ridge success. They could have released it March 2018 where it only had to compete against Tomb Raider, Death Wish and Pacific Rim 2. Or early June before Jurassic World 2 dropped.

Same with the previous instalment Everybody Knows. Kinda love it though.

Still love the opera sequence. And apparently that was meant to be the location for the climax before the rewrites began.
