All the components for a helluva good time are here. Ritchson hasn’t lost a step as America’s 21st century answer to the wandering anti-hero archetype, and the show hasn’t forgotten what made the first iteration so entertaining: lots of satisfying ass-kicking by way of a WWE-sized Sherlock Holmes-type. What’s not to love?
Reacher is dumb, breezy, pulpy, and it knows it. That’s the real secret to Santora’s sauce: He understands the violent disposability of airport thrillers like the kind Child writes, leaning into every arch plot point and Southern-fried villain with schlocky aplomb. But none of it works without Ritchson, who was practically born for this role.

Alan Ritchson IS Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise is a tiny wannabe.

A brawnier, funnier, and more potently entertaining season than its inaugural outing. No wonder Season 3 has already been greenlit.
Reacher the TV series doesn’t have the star power of the films that preceded it, but in many ways, it has the potential to be even more successful. By providing a deeper look into a complex character, Reacher could do for Jack Reacher what Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan did for its titular character in another Amazon series: take an existing franchise beloved by many in a fun new direction.
A guilty pleasure? Sure. The bone-crunching battle scenes are outrageously violent, improbable and as formulaic as the plotting, but also satisfying in the way that we're drawn to James Bond's or John Wick's remorseless dispatching of enemies. [8 - 28 Jan, p.8]
Under showrunner Nick Santora ("Scorpion"), "Reacher" doesn't suffer from any illusions about its objectives, serving up an unpretentious action series that's as much a course correction from the movies as an extension of them. Taken on those terms, this version of "Killing Floor" isn't a bad way to kill time. The only irony is that while Reacher has gotten bigger, it's the picture (or rather, the screen) that got smaller.
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.
You can watch Obama's jumbled drek on Netflix or you can watch "Reacher" on Amazon Prime. Real men (and women) watch "Reacher." We'll leave Obama's "Leave the World Behind" to the woke they-thems.
Yes, there are guns, fights and general mayhem on "Reacher," but that is only half the fun. The interaction between Reacher's team is the real show. And it is quite enjoyable!
Watch it!!!

"Reacher (S01, 8 eps, 45+ mins, Amazon) is a pretty decent action/murder-mystery but it should've been great, instead it has a set of problem points. And that starts with our title lead Alan Ritchson. He's definitely the right size/bulk but his clean cut appearance is at odds with the "wild man" he should appear to be. He looks more like one of those bulked up clean cut agents from the Matrix series. He's more accountant than military. His walk, his gait is kind of sissy-ish. Joel Kinnaman or Jason Momoa would've been SOOOOO much better and more convincing in this very important role. His action partner and love interest, Roscoe, is ridiculously petite, more like his kid sister than a romantic peer. The casting in general is a dumpster fire. And the action sequences where people die or get maimed are always unwitnessed by anyone, just so implausible. And somehow they keep state and fed law enforcement out of the picture even though his brother, a Secret Service agent was murdered. Ridiculous. That small town would've doubled its size in law enforcement presence within the day. So yeh, it's a disappointing action fantasy when you suspend so many elements of reality. I expected a better entertainment product from Nick Santora.

This is CW quality. The final episodes were cheesy 80's B-movie quality. I understand why it's getting good audience reviews - people are longing for traditional masculinity to be heroic again, instead of "toxic masculinity" pervading every woke show and movie. That's what drew me in as well, but this is just poor quality, dumb writing, and aside from Reacher, there's plenty of wokeness around.
Reacher himself was good, but this is the made-for-TV version, not movie quality. Tom Cruise may be 5'7", but he is much more realistic as a soldier. You won't find any Navy SEALS built like Hulk Hogan, waxed down, looking like they spend 4 hours a day bodybuilding in the gym. No, they tend to be smaller, leaner, quicker, more lethal. This Reacher also gets beaten up a lot by guys half his size. He's a pretty terrible fighter. Should spend less time bodybuilding and more time on the mat.
