Persuader

I remember watching the trailer for season three and waiting for months for it to finally come out. And here it it. Today the highly anticipated third season of Reacher returns.

This episode is probably the best pilot the show's seen so far. It was instantly into the action with a mysterious aspect of what's actually happening. The opening scene was perfection! Seeing it begin at the end and watch the build-up to the point where we ended off was great. The new characters are looking to be pretty cool, with the likes of Richard, the FBI agents and my most anticipated one, Paulie. It's a great concept to have as now Reacher can't rely on the fact that he's bigger and stronger, because now he's not...

A super opening episode and an excellent start to what I hope will be another great season.

I have read and watched reacher since the first book. Tom cruise was bad as reacher, as he certainly hasn't got the height or build that is described in all of the books, Alan is just perfect, but Sonya Cassidy has the worst American accent that I have ever heard!! Sorry but this American accent is so bad. I nearly didn't watch it purely because of this. But..... love Reacher too much not to watch it! I think they could have chosen an American actress rather than her to do an awful job. I got over it but it still cringes me. Haven't really seen her in anything else , this review is solely based on her performance in Reacher.

If this is a preview of things to come this season will be a tough sell for me. No one is thinking about their lines and just spouting them out. Agreed they are badly written but be a pro and make them work. Susan Duffy is the worst. Struggles with her New England accent and doesn't even think about what she is saying. When she is on the screen I cringe. Even Alan Ritchson is wooden without some good actors to work off of. He's just walking though this one. I was excited about this new season finally happening but that is gone. I will watch it just because it's Reacher and there's nothing else to watch.

Just finished the first episode and it's definitely an improvement over season 2 but this new character " susan " is annoying and irritating.

It seems like the writers made her a girl-boss type character which she isn't in the novels And if they stick to that in the upcoming episodes then ouch.

I genuinely have nothing against the actress or the fact that she's a girl but these writers man.. they always fail to write a good female character.. always.

If u want a good example of how to write a good female character.. Kim Wexler.

Anyway so far this is a good start to the season and I'm excited for the next episodes.

No offense to the Scottish actress who plays Susan Duffy, but her accent is as bad as Dick Van Dyke's Cockney role in Mary Poppins. I'll admit the season opener grabbed my attention , but her character is such a distraction, it makes it hard to watch. Surely there was an Boston area actress available for this role. Normally the viewer roots for Reacher and the lead woman to get together romantically, but not this time. It's also a shame that is apparently more cost effective to shoot movies in Canada than the United States. For me, it takes away from is authenticity. But my wife and I will watch the entire season as we can relax together and enjoy it for what it is.
