Too long to wait!

I loved it! Same as Yellowstone. Anxiously waiting. Oh, and Squid Games!

I am reading the books, on number 3 out of 27. Love the TV series. The books are good too.

Elmer, I am stuck in the middle of book #26, Better Off Dead (haven't read The Sentinel yet), also written with brother Andrew. So far, it is the ONLY Reacher novel that has not immediately captured my interest and that I haven't read in a single sitting.....or close to it. I agree.......not yet up to the same standards as the earlier, solo novels.

But I sure did enjoy the Amazon series and very much looking forward to season 2!

You may be right. I thought I'd read that Sentinel was the first Andrew did, but maybe I have the title wrong.

My absolute favorite author, Michael Connelly, is a big fan of Child's work. I find that both Connelly's books and those of another whose work I like - Daniel Silva - are enjoyable when re-read after the passage of enough time to forget plot details. Maybe every 5-7 years. Re-reading one of theirs beats a first time reading of a book of lower quality. As much as I enjoy the Reacher books and respect Child for what he's accomplished, I've tried a few times to do a second reading of a couple and found them much less enjoyable to read a second time. So I don't.

Speaking of Connelly, the two streaming series of his that were new this year, Bosch:Legacy and The Lincoln Lawyer, were both picked up for a second season and are expected by next spring.

I couldn't get into The Lincoln Lawyer series.. Not enough pizzazz to keep me focused. Am I the only one? Should I try it again?

Not for any particular reason but I'm sure others share your view.

These mini-season series based on books are, in a way, a new medium, one that I think the creative people are still trying to figure out how to handle. When a book is made into a film, a lot has to be pruned off and the result comes out 90-120 minutes long. "Lincoln Lawyer" is the name of a secondary character series written by Connelly while the miniseries of that name was based on one book, The Brass Verdict. It and produced 10 episodes of 45+ minutes each. The opposite of the "film from book" process.

In the first Netflix Bosch series that went 7 seasons, each "season" of 10 episodes was cobbled together to contain parts of 2-3 different Bosch books, with the main story and sub-stories running at the same time. Perhaps that's an apparent admission that it's hard to get 10 episodes out of one book. Patient plot development rather than fast moving action is probably what should be expected from LL.

I did like the Lincoln Lawyer adaption and especially liked the casting (as I did with the Bosch productions). No one more so that the Mexican actor cast in the lead role of Micky Haller, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. I thought he was particularly effective because of his talent to produce small, meaningful and context-relevant facial gestures when appropriate but especially with closeup shots. A very skilled actor. Others in main roles I thought were also quite good.
