Joe Pickett

I like the show. I don’t like that Amazon is pretending to be a network and releasing an episode a week. :blink:

I have read a number of the Joe Pickett series... enjoyable, all.

 

This new TV series is pretty good. Not stellar, but pretty well done.

 

I'm into the 2nd season. Good story, I think the writers might have combined 2 books for this. I hope they do a 3rd season.

Yes, it’s a combination of “Blood Trail” & “Nowhere to Run.”

Yes, it is a good series to watch. At least I liked it.

Read and liked all the books, but I'm still not going to pay for another streaming account

I too have read and enjoyed all the books....but I am not paying for  any any computer downloads for movies. I live rural and my download speed is way to slow. I get lots of breaks so the computer can catchup.

Read all, watched all. I don't remember Nate being being black???? I don't remember Joe being such a wimp.

I haven’t read any of the books but sometimes “Joe” in the series really ticks me off when he doesn’t stand up for himself. He also needs to remember “reload!”.

Joe’s A LOT more capable in the novels.

Watched a few more, still enjoying it.

Two major annoyances are his pea rifle and his hat!

In the books he can’t hit anything with a pistol and is a consummate “wing shot” with a shotgun. He doesn’t carry a rifle. He keeps a Remington Wingmaster, supposedly from his younger days, behind the drivers seat. The pistol is required by ‘Department Regulations’ and he barley qualifies during yearly re-qualifications.
Don’t know about the hat. Uniform hats are not always a personal choice. 

I’ve read most of the Joe Pickett books. I guess I like them. Or I’m just bored with TV in general. I did watch the first season of the show. Not paying a premium to watch the second season.

Someone told me that he 'updates' his hat in Season 2......fingers crossed that's true.

It still looks like he’s wearing the Open Road so far.

I have seen all of season one and up to episode 5 of season 2. 
He still wears that “Open Road” hat, which I call “the old timey con man hat” and he still carries his gun in a holster where the barrel sticks out. That’s an annoyance to me. (Yes, I know lots of people do it. It’s my pet peeve and I am sticking to it) Sounds like a bad rap song….:rolleyes:

Without giving up anything in the plot I will say that Iin season 2 he’s not such a wimp, but still could use just a bit more machismo. I like the fact that the show is more realistic in regards to the main characters and the goings on of the story.
