On the Edge with Alex Honnold (2024)
Good Documentary but Why Two Titles?
I am quite enjoying this new NG 3-part documentary on glaciers & Climate Change in Greenland, but wonder why it hs two titles: On the Edge and Arctic Ascent? Anyway, it's a bit of strange mixture of climbing from Alex Honnold and Hazel Findlay (who does not get enough credit on the net for her efforts in this expedition) and science.
It was interesting to see them rappel down into a crevasse to test the water depth, plus trying to get two non-climbers over a 500m cliff must have been tough. The tension rises from the potential dangers of falling rock & ice, so I am looking forward to the third part on climbing the really huge wall at the end of the trip...
Reacher (2022)
S2 was so bad I cancelled Amazon Prime
S1 of Reacher was superb, I watched it twice, and have read all the books. I also liked both TC movies & have them on Blu-Ray. But S2 was just terrible, poor adaptation from the book (which was great), wooden acting, no chemistry between the leads, a cardboard villain, poos fight scenes - in fact it was SO bad I cancelled Amazon Prime before the finale - it may also have had something to do with the forthcoming Ads, but still... They didn't even show two of Reacher's team getting captured, I thought they were supposed to be badasses? The best character was the Police Detective and they killed him off (unlike in the book). What a mess...
