Amazon has won the rights to develop a show based on the novels by Lee Child for their streaming service. The show will be produced by Amazon, along with Skydance Television and Paramount Television, and will follow the ex-military drifter as he travels the US, single-handedly solving problems and fighting crime. Think of Reacher as a one man A-Team. The character was previously played by Tom Cruise in two movies (Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back), based on the eleventh and eighteenth books in the series. Christopher McQuarrie, who acted as writer/director on the first movie and producer on the second, will serve as executive producer on the show. This is to be the third series of novels developed by Amazon Studios into a TV show. Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels are the source for one of the studios longest running shows; 'Bosch', starring Titus Welliver as the veteran LAPD Homicide Detective. Last year 'Jack Ryan' - based on the novel

There are many great questions that have both driven and plagued the human race throughout the centuries: "Why are we here?" "Where are we going?" "What is the meaning of life?" But the most important question of all hits a little closer to home: "What do the pool cleaners really get up to when you're not around?" Are you sure you want to know? Well here's your chance to find out. Trey (J.J. Caroll) and Ethan (Zach Castle) are the Beech Boys, it's their job to clean every pool on the Beechwood estate. But it's fair to say that the boys aren't always totally focused on doing their work, a trait that has a tendency for getting them into trouble. Between that and Trey's abuse of their clients, the Beech Boys are out of favour with the Home Owners Association. Now facing termination, will Trey and Ethan be able to save their jobs - and their easy life by the pool - before it's too late? From the creato

According to the multiverse theory, there are an infinite number of parallel universes. And each one could contain a parallel version of every one of us, some quite similar, and some very different. What would you do if you could see life through the eyes of just one of your "parallels"? That's the question new couple Heather (Faye Sewell) and Neil (David Magowan) have to ask themselves when they meet Machlis (Brian Carter), a medium who can show them the other side. Directed by Ieva Makselyte, produced by Alexander Cooper, written by David Magowan and inspired by erotic thrillers of the 1990's, Parallel is a dark look at obsession and the multiverse theory. Have Heather and Neil been brainwashed, or is all this real?   For some the idea of seeing yourself in a parallel universe would be a nightmare. Machlis could be a fraud, looking to hypnotise you in order to rob you blind. But for others it wouldn't matter, t he service Machlis provides could be a w

Fans of what Top Gear should be finally got their first look at The Grand Tour on Friday. If nothing else it proved that it's not the title, the studio, the test track or even the channel that makes the show what it is...it's the people. You can call a show Top Gear and make Chris Evans a presenter (not Captain America, the other one), but that doesn't make it Top Gear. When Jeremy Clarkson left the BBC, his mates Richard Hammond, James May and Andy Wilman soon followed. After months of speculation, it was announced that the group were going to work for Amazon to produce a motoring show. Said show will consist of 36 episodes over 3 years and has been described as "very, very, very expensive" by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. Although it's starting to look like a very good investment. The format is very similar to Top Gear except the studio is a tent that will change location between episodes. As usual the trio will travel the globe testing new cars and taking

First TV review! After a year of waiting I can confirm that Amazon has delivered another great season of Bosch. Drawing from the books; The Last Coyote, Trunk Music and The Drop, Bosch returns to active duty and is assigned to investigate the murder of an adult film producer with mob ties. Even though seasons 1 and 2 are set six months apart it still feels like one continuous story; a sort of window into the life of Harry Bosch. It's very difficult to put the books down and it's the same way with the show, it's not boring at any point. But unfortunately it's very difficult to keep watching after you run out of episodes! The downside of getting all the episodes at once, you are left wanting more and wondering what's next for Harry?

One of the first shows to be brought to life by Amazon Prime was Bosch. Detective Hieronymus 'Harry' Bosch was created by author Michael Connelly and played by Titus Welliver on the show. IMDb interviewed Welliver this week, using Twitter to allow fans to ask their questions. I submitted the question:  Welliver answered: Bosch served in the Army, in the books he's a Viet Nam veteran and in the show he's a veteran of both the Gulf and Iraq wars. He joined the Los Angeles Police Department after leaving the Army and after making Detective spent several years in Robbery Homicide. Bosch was moved to Hollywood Homicide (a demotion of sorts) after shooting a suspected serial killer in questionable circumstances. Which is where we find him in the first eight books and Season 1 of the show. The first season drew storylines from the books The Concrete Blonde, City of Bones and Echo Park. Bosch is being sued by the widow of the aforementioned serial ki
