It is a show that knows exactly what it is and what it needs to be, providing an entertaining catharsis in seeing Reacher take down those who abuse their power. He is capable of just about anything, for better or worse. ... Whatever path Reacher ends up taking, as long as he is played by Ritchson, the material is in good hands.
What's for sure is that if you like the Reacher books, you'll like the Reacher TV show. The blend that marks the books—of brute force and dry wit, of rootlessness and personal loyalty, of animal savagery and human decency—is present and accounted for.
Reacher would be among best shows in 2022. When people see a lot of **** in hollywood. like blood origin, resident evil, etc. Season like this one will always get rating because it matches the mind of majority. Acting was so good and the location just gave me goosebumps. If you do not want to get bored and not feel guilty for wasting your time. Then this is the series to watch
very good job after the bad adaptations in the past. A series with great potential.
It is a well-constructed drama with its screenplay and character introductions. With Alan Ritchson's performance, the series takes itself to the next level.
The series has a sly, puckish humor and inexhaustible bravado that more than makes up for some of the more ridiculous aspects of the plot. Reacher succeeds thanks to an abundance of charm, an interesting central mystery, a slew of exhilarating fight scenes, and dynamic performances and undeniable chemistry from Ritchson, Goodwin, and Fitzgerald.
Though this first series doesn’t end as strongly as it begins, Alan Ritchson showcases the right mix of acting chops and physical presence to successfully bring Lee Child’s hero to life.
The books live and die by Reacher himself as this dirty, ass-kicking genius. If he’s not interesting, none of it is. So far, we’ve gotten one onscreen Jack Reacher who had the charisma but not the size, and another where the reverse is true.
Well, this Reacher is certainly more true to the book but that's faint praise. It's kind of stilted and cartoonish.. maybe that was intended, but not what I was looking for.
This is fine, not great, not bad, just fine. The plot details are a bit hard to follow as a lot of them are played out in dialgoue. Not that it's really important as it all plays out as you expect. I feel the characters were a little shallow and forgetable, the fighting scenes decent, but pale in comparison to a show like "Banshee". Overall leaving it to be a decent watch but ultimately forgetable experience.
Jack Reacher is a huge, handsome man with each episode offering at least three opportunities to admire his shirtless physique. Reacher is a taciturn, unlikable loner whose sole purpose in life is to mete Reacher justice (no trials necessary) to the wrongdoers of the land.
The plot of this series requires you to set your Suspension of Disbelief meter to the max and even then you should try to turn the dial a bit higher. There is just not very much that is plausible in the plotting of the entire series.
But if all you are interested in is watching a macho man and his cohorts scything their way through a small army of miscreants, you might enjoy this series.
