I got into the first season last week while on some business travel. I've been watching (about 6 ep in) but it hasn't really grabbed me because I feel like I know what's already going to happen. Is the whole season just a re-hashed version of the movie with new characters? Is there anything really worthwhile in the show?

It's OK. I've been a GySgt (ret'd) Bob Lee Swagger (AKA Bob the Nailer) fan for a couple of decades, since I first read Point of Impact in the early 90's.

i'm not crazy about the Ryan Phillippe version...but it's better than the Mark Wahlberg version a few years ago.

I watched the 1st season on Netflix and liked it. There are parts that remind you of the Wahlberg movie, but the story is different enough to be entertaining.

Same here and I agree. Did they even read the books? Body type for Bob Lee couldnt be more wrong. Maybe it they made a version of "Dirty White Boys" Ryan Phillippe would do better as the Nailers Dad.

I find it hard to watch the series after the books. I dont think the characters personas match up well enough. Tall, lanky, drawling, slow and methodical with inate intellegence and street smarts are missing.

Watched all last year, started to watch last night but stopped. Dont know if Ill go back to it.

JMHO

Overall, this first episode of the season wasn't that bad.

And... it is over.

Seems the main character broke his leg off site, and they had to end this season's 2 episodes short.
