Summary
Reviewers say 'Reacher' is acclaimed for Alan Ritchson's compelling performance as Jack Reacher, surpassing Tom Cruise's portrayal. Season one is celebrated for its faithful book adaptation, gripping plots, and robust action scenes. Season two, however, is criticized for straying from Reacher's solitary persona, incorporating team elements, and offering weaker narratives and action. The show is noted for its nostalgic action and mystery, though some view it as formulaic and shallow. The supporting cast and their interactions receive varied feedback.
Featured reviews
Firstly, they cast Reacher much better than the movies but while Tom Cruise was not in any way a physical representation of Reacher he nailed reachers temprement and Reachers nasty side. Ritchsons " just out of the gym using roids", physique is a bit ott, reacher walked miles most days so while he would be big and super fit he would not be built like a body builder, imo. The storyline and supporting cast are excellant so if you have read the book, Killing Floor you will not be disappointed and even if you did not read the book it is well produced and worth your time. I would have liked Reacher to be a tad more gritty and the story is a bit convoluted and as they introduce Hubble so early in the book and he knows exactly what is going on it is a tad unbelieveable, we dont get the full picture until so late in the book but that is me nit picking. Very enjoyable series and well worth a look.
I read the book some years ago and despite remembering the entire story I still couldn't stop watching this series. If you haven't read the books this series still stands on its own offering lots of action with an almost super-powered hero who has chosen to help those who have been wronged by fighting the bad guys. Plus, Reacher is hot. Will be waiting for season 2.
Dear Hollywood,
This is how it should work. People read a book. People like that book. You then just film the book directly. No messing about, no rewrites, no major edits, no nonsense, no casting someone 5'9" to play a 6'5" monster.
I read the book last year and the biggest change I could spot was that it was a slightly less ridiculous sports car that he borrows from the bankers wife.

I am surprised by people who gave the low ratings. I found it very watchable without the filler minutes that many of these series have now. Perhaps the villains weren't as good as some other shows, but they sure did evil things. Some pretty strong supporting characters for the cast, and some a bit lackluster.
I am sure there will be a season 2 and I hope it will be stronger than many of other Prime season 2 series.

True to the book. True to the character. Entertaining and fun.
Right amount of action. Right amount of humor.
Looking forward to another season & book.
Definitely recommend it to anyone. You don't need to have read the book to understand & enjoy it.
