What should someone expect to pay for this service on an annual basis?

Just checking out season 2 of Reacher now since I wanted to wait for more episodes to be out, and then totally forgot about it for a few weeks

Really enjoying it, I agree that it lacks some of the first season's charm, but still having fun

It was a good season, but I like season one more.

Also apparently Reacher is "Dad TV", as well as shows like Yellowstone, Masters of the Air, etc.

My kids laughed at me when I was excited for Masters of the Air, and absolutely roasted me with "dad tv" comments.

I may never recover.

Hah, yeah I've heard that too. Plus I got called a boomer at work because I was reading a Winston Churchill biography. I'm 32

With tv specifically I kinda get the term, but just makes me wonder, what isn't dad tv then? Cartoons and reality shows? Do kids even watch tv or just their tiks and instantgrams?

We just finished up Reacher. I don't mind it, but I do struggle every time Reacher makes a facial expression that looks like Thad from Blue Mountain State (which is hilarious):

Season 2 of Reacher was good. Started a bit slow, but definitely got better by the end. Definitely has me more interested in the books than the movies did.

I'm embarrassed it took me a few scenes before realizing Russo is Herc, but once I did, I couldn't stop smiling

Like I said before, I thought Season 2 lacked some of the charm of Season 1, but I mean...thats a damned high bar.

So season 1 was like a 9 and season 2 was an 8.5. You're still doing alright.

Reacher is awful, unless it's supposed to be satire.

Awfully good.

Fixed it for you.

"Should we shoot him from far away?"

"Nah, let's just take fight him hand to hand one at a time."

Like I said earlier, I liked it. I thought it was fun! It doesnt have the same gravitas or charm as season 1, it seemed like it decided to go 'too big.'

But its decent action, decent acting, T1000 is in it although his liquid metal skin is gettin' a little saggy and the right people got their asses kicked. So...pretty good.

That being said...if they ever wanted to make another Terminator movie...Alan Ritchson is your man.

I never watched Blue Mountain State, everyone always comments that its 'so and so from this other show.'

When I first started the show I thought he was just going to be a dumb meathead but I think he's done a pretty good job.

You may think of him as T1000, but he'll always be the degenerate gambler who wagered away his son's college fund and lost his sporting goods business and his family to me.

You're both drunk. He will always be a special FBI investigator brought in to lead the manhunt for a missing special agent before replacing said special agent.

So my first experience with ad-supported Prime was just a single commercial before the show and nothing during the show - if that's all it is I can live with that.

That's how it was before, wasn't it? I've watched two movies trying to trigger an ad halfway through just to see if I'd hate it as much as I think I would..and nothing. Before each movie I got a pop-up warning prior, however.

The only difference I saw was instead of an ad for another Prime show I got an ad for some mobile game.
