Reacher - Comments & Tips

I missed an action TV show like this since banshee

Tried to like this given it has so many great reviews but it’s just not doing it for me. A big tough bloke, with all the personality of plant pot (I heard they considered replacing him with a plank of wood with a face drawn on it for S2), who struts around spouting tough guy sound bites, muttering theories of deduction that would put Sherlock Holmes to shame and getting into punch ups. Problem is, that’s it!! There’s nothing else. The other actors that have anything by way of a scripted part are clearly just there as fall guys / props to make the plank look good. The ENDLESS testosterone hoze down monologue gets SUPER tiresome REAL fast. I’ve had more enjoyment watching grass grow!! Binned.

Fantastic. Tom Cruise has been erased.

watched 6 so far...bloody great...keep up the violence...Jack is back!

Please Amazon, for the love of all things good, renew the show for a second season.

Up until the last episode ,which really went conventional with all the typical plot devices that shows/movies of this genre use, the rest of the series was exceptionally refreshing. The pacing was perfect, great story, the chemistry was pretty decent, and hats off to Ritchson who really did a great job dead panning the comedy. What was even better was there didn't even seem to be any of the woke non-sense that permeates most everything these days. Thumbs up.

The character of Reacher has the personality of a mannequin. An autistic mannequin. A muscular autistic mannequin. He walks around, occasionally fighs, and spouts Sherlock Holmes like insights. The show doesn't have any real plot or pont to it. I actually closed my eyes during the prison fight scene so I wouldn't have to see the violence. It"s not like Banshee, where the fighting was for integral plot reasons. This is just to show fighting. I don't hate the show, but also didn't like anything about it.

They sure do use a hell of a lot of animal feed

Can't wait for this. Although I'm a bit worried about Nick Santora being behind it, I really don't like the way most of his shows are run, but I absolutely love their pick for Reacher. It still hurts me to think Tom Cruise was Reacher...

Reacher and Roscoe characters are cast perfectly. The show reminds me of Dexter. I'm only two episodes in, might binge the whole first season this weekend. Update: As I suspected, ended up bine watching the entire first season. This show is awesome. Makes the movies (which I really enjoyed) look pale in comparison. The action sequences were orchestrated perfectly. I can't wait for the next seasons.

Really a great show. I've read the books over the years and this follows in line with them. Alan Ritchson plays a great Reacher. One of the better series I've seen in a while. The action was good, the crime mystery kept us interested and the supporting cast all worked and played off each other very well. Sign me up for a 2nd season.

A good surprise! I thought it was going to be a dumb cringy popcorn action show, but turned out to be just what it was promising. Just some action show, with a decent story, acting and dialogues. If they go for a second season, I'd like even better action scenes, for example I think punisher or daredevil had better fight scenes.

I'm a big fan of the Lee Child Reacher books having read them all. Didn't know Alan Ritchson at all but perfect as Reacher as described in the books, still baffles me to think Tom Cruise thought he was like the character. This series follows along very closely with one of the books which makes me excited follow up series will be commissioned to follow the adventures. Wish I hadn't watched these all so quickly, but i'm quite sure I will watch again before next one comes along.

Been waiting a long time for this just because they filmed part of it in the small town I live in in Ontario Canada and my wife and I are dying to see what happens at the locations they filmed lol Hoping it isn't a flop compared to the movie but will go into it open minded and try my best to not to compare the two.

Well we finally get the Reacher we all deserved, Alan does an excellent job bringing the 6'5 Major to live. I still think having Nick Santora as the show runner wasn't the best move and having someone like Carlton Cause and Graham Roland wilud have made this much better. But it is what it is and the fact remains it is a giant step from Tom Cruise awful Reacher. So for this Reacher fan, Isay keep those seasons coming, there are plenty of books to go through.

Well, 3 episodes to build up a small, unlikely, and oddly assorted investigative task force. The pace at which this intriguing crime series unfolds isn't bad at all. Very enjoyable.

I was so afraid that this show was going to be too cheesy or to glib or to cliché. It was very compact but I loved all the characters and even enjoyed the baddies. It's not remotely realistic but what a fun ride. Reminds me of my favorite adventure books: Mack Bolan: The Executioner. Anyone read those books?

After the dreadful films with Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher this was a welcome change, I really enjoyed it and it was pretty true to both the book and the characters.

this guy is so big wtf, what a unit
