Wow, tough topic to handle. Almost, could not watch. "Maid," should be required viewing for high school students and then write a paper and then discussion. The mini-series chronicles domestic violence. Andie Macdowell and daughter (real life) Margret Qualley; there not enough adjectives to describe their performances. When you have known victims and what d.v. really is, not just physical but emotional and control. It's just got to watch series. The investment is worth the while...five star.

I would complain to my wife about the casting of Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. Looks like they got it right with Alan Ritchson. It worked because they stayed closely to details Lee Child builds in his novels. Hopefully any subsequent seasons hold to his brilliant character development. This translates to bad news for the current cast of characters cause Jack Reacher is a love em and leave em type of guy. New town new problems new cast, except for Ritchson...of course.
