SEASON 1: 8/10! Dean even said it had zero wokery, which is weird since they highlighted Finlay's race multiple times, but I guess it's only woke when the bigots don't like it. I'm gonna assume Dean's 10/10 review was sarcasm due to the aneurysm-inducing vocabulary used. "No woke, good Reacher!" -- SEASON 2 & 3: Varying degrees of dog shit with some fun moments sprinkled in. These seasons are so... "Y…

Mostly fun. The show took a huge turn in Season four. Firstly, a clear recommendation to watch 1-3. During season 4 though the writing took a dive though. If you're sensitive to the fun/believability ratio, maybe chose differently. The exposition in S4E7 is barely bearable. Ritchsons presence, charisma and sheer will seem to carry... and I myself am surprised to say that, a LOT. Get your mind off and it's refresh…

It's refreshing to see a show like *Reacher* (2022) manage to juggle its elements—the action sequences, the puzzling aspects of the plot, and getting to know the characters—so well. Alan Ritchson embodies the role in a way that makes Reacher feel exactly as fans imagine him, and the unfolding investigation keeps things progressing at a good pace. This is absolutely something viewers who enjoy action and suspense shou…

This is a really enjoyable series. What’s appreciated most is the absence of any overt political messaging or trendy social commentary. The central character, Reacher, embodies a strong sense of morality and goodness. There are characters you can root for, and plenty of action sequences to keep things moving. It surpasses the quality of the film adaptation, making it well worth watching; I would definitely suggest ch…

I was really impressed with the first season of Reacher; it captured the essence of Jack Reacher perfectly – a solitary force dismantling criminal enterprises. However, season 2 didn’t quite hit the mark. It came across as an unremarkable action film centered on a group of former military personnel. The distinctive "lone wolf" character that made Reacher so appealing was noticeably absent. They really should have giv…

It’s possible to reimagine characters and approaches without fundamentally changing things, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Reacher portrayed by Tom Cruise comes across as intelligent, resourceful, and careful; he uses his mind and understanding of people. He acts according to what he believes is right, generally trying to minimize harm. He’s comfortable being alone. In contrast, the Alan Ritchson vers…

The first season really earned a perfect score; I absolutely adored it. I looked forward to the arrival of the second season with great excitement...but watching it left me feeling quite let down. Reacher felt much more impactful and impressive in the initial run, whereas this time around he didn't seem nearly as important. Season two is rated at 7/10. It’s still enjoyable enough to check out, but don’t go in expecti…

I purchased Reacher: Season 1 on Blu-Ray, and I really enjoyed the show; I’m hoping Amazon decides to make more seasons. In my opinion, the actor portraying Reacher aligns better with Lee Child's descriptions in his books. That isn’t meant as a criticism of Tom Cruise’s performance in the films—he was smaller in stature. Both performers delivered excellent acting performances, and I own those movies too. Alan Ritchso…
