I watched:


Reacher (Amazon) I binged through the first 7 episodes.  This is a 
little hard to recap due to spoilers.  But basically Reacher finds 
himself working as a bodyguard for the teenage son of a criminal played 
by Anthony Michael Hall.  Reacher straight up murdering people was not 
limited to season 2!  He is still straight up murdering people.  Most of 
the season 2 murders were at least usually some form of self defenses, 
not this time.  The man didn't even know *why* Reacher killed him.  They 
were just talking then he was dead.  I'm not saying Reacher didn't have 
his reasons, "The guy talked too much."  And I guess you could say if 
someone is working for a criminal, it's OK to murder them, but Reacher 
is working for a criminal.  Is it OK to murder Reacher?  Anyway, season 
3 is pretty good.


Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) "With Interest" and "Excessive Force" - 
Both episodes dropped yesterday.  First up Matt Murdock inserts himself 
into a hostage situation during a bank robbery so he can save the day. 
Ms. Marvel's father Yusf Khan (Mohan Kapur) plays the assistant bank 
manager who helps Matt.  In the second episode Dare Devil *finally* 
appears to go after "Muse."


Watson - "Teeth Marks" - I forgot to mention this the other day.  Team 
Watson looks into a woman who forgets everything every 3 minutes and a 
Watson starts to notice something is off with his meds.
