Enjoying the season but some of the stuff is ridiculously bad, him walking on the roof avoiding cameras escaping, 260lb hanging on a roof gutter, swimming who know how far ect.
Alan is really starting to age in his fase quick, dude can get that vanity body but his face looks tired

I don't know how the books go but all 40+ old women loved these fucking books with a hard on for Reacher

Premature aging from the cycles hes blasting. Alan said this was the only time a studio executive personally called him and told him to do something for a role. Nobody from the Reacher creative or production, not even a Reacher producer, told him to bulk up. It was an Amazon programming executive. He said the call came from the C-suite at Amazon corporate which he said was weird. Normally these kinds of requests come from the creatives or producers of the show, not from an outside high level executive.
Someone at Amazon wanted book Reacher by any means necessary.

Dude, watching him run on the fucking gutters took me completely out of it. What the fuck are they made of and anchored to?!

That's another thing I remember of my grandma hating the Tom cruise version, isn't Reacher supposed to be scared up everywhere?

Screws are stong. Pull out force of a single #8 screw in wood is 360 lbs. I built a ladder for one of our well pits and because it's round and corrugated I could only get 3 self tapping screws into it. Those are in 1/16" steel and I have climbed that ladder 100 times and none of the screws have pulled out. It's pretty believable that a gutter would hold him up for a while at least.

Yeah but they also loved the Suki Stackhouse shit, Twilight, Harry Potter, etc. I've read those and they all read like they were written by a 17 year old for 14 year olds. They aren't out here writing Malazan.

Sure, but gutters are thin aluminum folded U shapes. They aren't capable of holding more than 5 lbs.

If they're supported every 2 feet? Sure they are. I mean you will bend them, but they're not going to just tear like toilet paper.

You do know they make them out of steel too it's just more expensive. The type that would be on some rich dude's house. Anyway, if the biggest complaint is gutter strength. Show is doing just fine.

The kid said the only cameras they had faced out the front gate. Which also seemed the only way in considering Reacher had to climb down some rocks and swim to get the fuck out of the area.

Gutters are nailed to the wood the roof sits on with gutter spikes. That one was clearly "overbuilt" with spikes like every 6 inches or something. We used 12 inch galvanized gutter spikes through a 16 gauge galvanized Farrule. That would hold a man pretty easily.
Out gutters were also made out of 16 gauge galvanized steel.
You can have shitty plastic or flimsy aluminum gutters or you can have quality stuff like galvanized steel or copper. Much like any construction, you get what you pay for.

This was those rich man gutters.
Caught up on this season. It's leaning toward James Bond level believability. It has a few story beats that stand out as unreal Bond type plot-armor (particularly related to disappearing and/or killing almost every Bizarre Bazaar employee within a day of working there) but for me it doesn't affect the quality of the show. Save for a few moments of plot armor where it's like alright this is Bond level stupid fantasy writing, It's more Reacher and that's all I could ask for.
