What did you watch?

 I had to come home and grade yesterday, so just soaps.
 This is basically a two-day catch-up:
 

Same.

soaps: Mon's & Tue's ep's.
    DOOL - The main thing that happened here is that Tate ratted out Doug III's thievery to Julie, and Julie kicks Doug III out as a result. I don't even remember if Tate admitted doing this to Holly or not. Otherwise, EJ has "sent Kristen's mommy out of town" (whatever that means!) - Kristen tries to bribe EJ to get her back by making him CEO of DiMera, but he refuses. And there were more John flashbacks.
    GH - Valentin is hauled off to jail in Germany (so presumably he's written out for good, or semi-good for now). Ava puts Nina and Portia together to work against Drew. Separately, Tracy and Ned Quartermaine think Nina would be a useful ally against Drew. Ava asks Sonny for money, but they fight over his conditions (which is basically Ava losing custody of their daughter), and then Sonny collapses from a heart attack - Ava then has to decide to give Sonny his meds, or let him die! (Unfortunately, what's going to happen is that Kristina will come in and force Ava's hand.) Lulu rats out Chase's threats to her to Brook Lynn (Lulu is such a whiny bitch!). Elizabeth gets out of Ric that Portia is in big trouble, and then Ric gets Lizzie to do a related document search for him (so I think Lizzie will be able to figure out what Portia did). Everyone tells Carly not to date Jack Brennan!
 And that was mostly it!
 What did you watch?
 

I watched:
Reacher (Amazon) I binged through the first 7 episodes.  This is a little hard to recap due to spoilers.  But basically Reacher finds himself working as a bodyguard for the teenage son of a criminal played by Anthony Michael Hall.  Reacher straight up murdering people was not limited to season 2!  He is still straight up murdering people.  Most of the season 2 murders were at least usually some form of self defenses, not this time.  The man didn't even know *why* Reacher killed him.  They were just talking then he was dead.  I'm not saying Reacher didn't have his reasons, "The guy talked too much."  And I guess you could say if someone is working for a criminal, it's OK to murder them, but Reacher is working for a criminal.  Is it OK to murder Reacher?  Anyway, season 3 is pretty good.
Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) "With Interest" and "Excessive Force" - Both episodes dropped yesterday.  First up Matt Murdock inserts himself into a hostage situation during a bank robbery so he can save the day. Ms. Marvel's father Yusf Khan (Mohan Kapur) plays the assistant bank manager who helps Matt.  In the second episode Dare Devil *finally* appears to go after "Muse."
Watson - "Teeth Marks" - I forgot to mention this the other day.  Team Watson looks into a woman who forgets everything every 3 minutes and a Watson starts to notice something is off with his meds.
