The actress is cute, and I admire any young actress who eschews breast enhancement as her primary career strategy, but she just doesn't seem to have that much to offer compared to the someone like the utterly fabulous Kaitlyn Dever in Justified.

I'm with you on trying to "support" non-enhanced young ladies. I was in the fashion biz, a lifetime (almost literally) ago and resisted the pressure myself, so...but damn, that girl seems exceedingly limited. I mean, she has two facial expressions and that's it.

Joe Pickett is a series? I read the 1st 2 on a recommendation from a fellow Jack Reacher fan and may continue it in the future but so far no Reacher by any stretch of the imagination. But then I wasn't that impressed with Reacher at first either, abandoning midway through book 4 but then going back to it and finishing the series. When Amazon replaced the ludicrous Tom Cruise as Reacher it was a fun series to watch too.

Yes, let's see, it's on Paramount Plus (Pickett). I'm not overly wild about it yet, but so far, not bad. It's obviously trying to capitalize on the wild success of Yellowstone and trying to reach that audience, which apparently, was a lot lot LOT bigger than Hollyweird expected. (ha.)
Reacher--what can anybody say? Right on the heels of the Rain series, the first really big competence-porn hit and then...
TOM FREAKING CRUISE? I mean, gimme a break. In my younger fitter days, no kidding, I could have taken him. Much less envision him as REACHER. I *mostly* like the guy that Amazon cast although I would have gone for a
rangier Reacher, not quite so Gold's Gym. But, hey, at least he was
big. Big enough to make Reacher's behavior viable. (And the reactions of those around him comprehensible, too.)
Ah, well. Maybe (speaking of Cruise), his big new runaway hit will inspire some new series.
Stranger things have happened, amirite?
