Collider Chase Hutchinson

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. Read full review

Amazon’s take on Reacher is as solidly made as he is and delivers the rollicking yarn as efficiently as the man himself can dispatch a Glock-wielding gangster. Read full review

Reacher 2.0 is cleverly plotted, perfectly paced and isn't short of depth. Read full review

It’s not going to challenge your expectations, but it will fulfill them in a mostly satisfying way. Read full review

It makes for some solid twisty TV storytelling, and death often has a formidable gravity as things get personal for practically every character. Read full review

Reacher doesn't commit to that fun side of the character as much as it could. It's safely played to capture fans of Amazon's other popular Jack, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, and it should do the trick, but Reacher, which is a perfectly fine dad show but not a must-see, doesn't have aspirations to go much further beyond that.

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. Read full review

So much better than the mis-casted movie, that's for sure. Main characters appearance is spot on and does a great Job at giving Lee Childs "Reacher" a very real/ believable face.

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.

This is a great adaptation to the books and a very entertaining show. There is no waiting around for something to happen, or some plot to develop. It just barrels ahead with very few breaks in the action. Alan Ritchson is perfect for this role.

Reacher was a guilty pleasure. This is not brilliant tv. But it is very enjoyable . Casting is amazing , would not be surprised if the lead is cast in a Marvel project.

Solid action show in the vein of Banshee, if not quite as graphic. Excellent cast and well-written characters that were far more entertaining than the trailer led me to expect.

Solid show. I haven't read the books nor have I seen the movies. An interesting whodunnit with a protagonist who reminds me of 80's action heroes meets Sherlock Holmes. At first, I wasn't sure if I could handle Ritchson in a serious role - with me being a big fan of Blue Mountain StateSolid show. I haven't read the books nor have I seen the movies. An interesting whodunnit with a protagonist who reminds me of 80's action heroes meets Sherlock Holmes. At first, I wasn't sure if I could handle Ritchson in a serious role - with me being a big fan of Blue Mountain State and that show being my only exposure to him as an actor. However, he knocked it out of the park. Solid performance from the supporting cast. Tight, well-paced writing.

My only complaint was the ending. Again, haven't read the books, so if this was how The Killing Fields ended, then it is what it is. But, the ending seemed too neat to me. Still... it was season one. We now know what Reacher is capable of and this sets us up to be truly concerned for him and anyone he is in contact with if/when he faces a threat that's out of his depths.… Expand

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.… Expand
