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 proves once again that it’s not just a good show, but a great one. Eleven stars out of five. It is also—obviously—a really bad one. But its badness is absolutely flawless, ultimately only contributing to its greatness.
Absolutely fenomenal tv show exactly what I wanted, I had been to watched with pleasure, a lot of action and adventure, cool characters and storyline. If you want to watch some interesting tv show this is it
Reacher is everything I was expecting it to be. Free from all type Identity Politics and Amazon know that this is the season for grown ups whom you cannot teach what is right and what is wrong.
In season two, he’s got backup in the form of some also lethal old friends, as well as another personal score to settle. This series understands what it does best, and honors its source material by casting the correct version of its main character.
An unpretentious and well-paced mix of investigation and extrajudicial retaliation, Reacher season 2 is purpose-built Friday night TV. That is, perfect for pounding popcorn while Reacher pounds away onscreen – mostly into the faces and fleshy bits of scattered salvoes of assorted scumbags.
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]
Overall, the sophomore season of "Reacher" is an entertaining mix of contrasts: compassion and vengeance, quirkiness and rigidity, status quo and subversion.
I am absolutely shocked this came out of hollywood and was made by Amazon as this series is a throwback to action movies of the 80s and 90s! It's so refreshing to watch a show free of wokeness and identity politics! The characters are well written and the relationships seem authentic. The action is also really well dobe and entertaining. In a critic review I saw someone descibe Reacher as Sherlock Holmes if he was played by a WWE Wrestler. I think that's a good way to look at it! I highly recomnend this show it exemplary acrosa the board!
First couple episodes don't feel as tight or as well written as season 1. Still enjoyable, but mostly because of Reacher's performance. I really don't need a team backing up a guy who is suppose to be a loner, but whatever. The show's clear "anti-woke" politics are also kinda off-putting and borderline racist. The action feels a bit gratuitous and not always well choreographed, but often emotionally satisfying. A good show still, not a great show. Not sure why they have to show us the bad guys being bad all the time.
This season does feel like a step down in many regards. The tension isn't as present as before and the "villains" are weaker and not shrouded in as much mystery as the ones in season 1. Still enjoyed the action scenes but hopefully they can recapture the magic they had in the first season.
Badly written two dimensional cheezy caracters. The production was obviously ruched. Very disapointed. Feel like the actors are readind a teleprompter. The chemistry between them feels fake. Lombardozzi police caracter is cringy (we are very far from The Wire).
Five episodes was enough. Sorry but there's better show to watch !
Started well but then went downhill very quickly, pity the 1st season was good. Felt like they fired the scriptwriters & the fight choreographers. The amount of dumb things both the good & the bad guys do is mind boggling. Also there is no threat because it doesn't matter how many people attack Reacher & crew they will always win hands down, even when they are clearly outnumbered & outgunned with the baddies suffering from severe stormtrooper aiming disease. Felt like the old A-Team TV show with car doors stopping bullets and fireball explosions but without any humor or self-irony. Also Ritchson looks like he just walked out ****, the guy can barely run he has bulked up so much between the seasons. The chemistry only works between Ritchson & Sten, the rest of the team feels off. Unlikely that I am going to watch season 3.
