What did you watch?

I finally started tackling a streaming TV series this weekend, but I went with "Reacher" instead of "School Spirits". I also decided to go back and look at Y&R which I haven't watched since early March:
soaps: Y&R - A couple of episodes from the past three(?) weeks that I selected so that I could catch up on what I missed... Well, this is was dumb - Sharon and Filis[sic!] are rescued from captivity by Nick and Billy and Chance and the cops. (I thought this captivity drama would go on for months, but they wrapped it up in weeks.) And the kidnapper doesn't turn out to be Ian Ward... it looks like it's Traci Abbott's fiance, Alan the Shrink (or Alan's EVOL!1! twin brother pretending to be Alan!)! Why?! I have no idea!!... But in a bid to make me puke! Sharon and Filis's experience have made them buddies now, and enemies no more. [Hurl!!]
golf - I saw about 5 seconds of the Houston Open - the leaderboard was a lot of people I didn't know. And M.W. Lee was leading by 4 which means he probably has this locked up. I don't even know if I will watch this today...
March Madness - More disappointments. Texas Tech was *leading* by 10 with about 5 minutes in the game, and threw it all away and let Florida back in to win it. This tourney looks to be heading to a Final Four with all #1 seeds (which I would be only the second time this has happened - the first was back 2008).  :|
MLS soccer - I watched (most of) a MLS soccer game for the first time, off Apple TV+ - San Diego was playing L.A. This was a high scoring game (in the first half, anyway!), but San Diego actually won it! At one point they were up 3-0 after a little more than 30 mins into the game, but L.A. came back and scored two quick goals. Then no one scored in the second half. So San Diego wins, 3-2!!
Reacher (Prime) - Ep's #3.1 & 3.2. With the way the season premiere ep started off, I thought for sure something was up... Sure enough, much of it was staged, and Reacher was sent in, undercover, to investigate... Anthony Michael Hall! And Reacher is sent in by a DEA agent played by Sonya Cassidy - the good news is that she's not using her native British accent! the bad news is that she is *not* pulling off a convincing Boston accent either!! I don't know what accent that's supposed to be, but I don't hear Boston!... Anyway, I kind of don't like this set up any more than season #2's, as this isn't "Man Against Town" Reacher again (see season #1), but Reacher working with a "team" (as Cassidy has two other DEA types helping her). But it's better than S2 I guess, as Reacher is doing most of the work solo, with the DEAs just providing backup... In ep. #3.2, Reacher brutally murders a thug who knows too much like it's nothing!!
