Reacher: Season One

I'm in love with this tv show. It's so good. Couldn't recommend it more

Not to take anything from the talent and acting skills of Tom Cruise because he is a very talented actor but in this particular role there is just no comparison to Alan Ritchson portrayal of the character of Jack Reacher. Ritchson was made for this role. his demeanor, physicality, and emotional portrayal of the character is absolute. I am not usually a big fan of action movies or shows but this series is written so well and the actors playing the roles are so on point it is easy to become a fan. One thing I like is that the story is the main character and everyone is not dropping F-bombs and gutter talk every five minutes or having a bunch of pointless sex scenes. Great writing and acting will draw the viewer in and the show doesn't have to sink to pointless F-bombs and gratuitous sex scenes to draw in viewers, write a great story and that will draw in your viewers. Ritchson is amazing in this role and of course Maria Sten as Neagley is superb in her portrayal of her character. These two in particular bring real talent and believability in their roles. One does not feel like we are watching actors play a part or role, these two bring a feeling that these characters are real. Looking forward to the next season and hopefully many more seasons. I would also love to see a Neagley version focused in the same way but with her as the main character. I think Sten could carry off her own series as well, but of course she and Reacher have to keep tag teaming in their adventures! Great original idea and creation by Lee Child, great series writers, great production crew, and amazing actors to bring it all to life. I think Amazon definitely has a winner here!

Love the character and supporting cast. Fun to watch!

Seasons 1,2,3 were really good. I'm waiting for season 4.

Good show. Well done with a great plot and action

I am shocked I have not written a review for this yet. I binge watched it when it was released and have probably rewatched it seven more times. It doesn't get boring no matter how many times I watch it. I've been a fan of Alan Ritchson from back in his Smallville days. It is good to see him get a role that seems to have been made for him. The one scene that defines this character, this series, and the tone of the show is the one in episode 1 outside the diner when the weak man is mistreating his girlfriend for leaving too big a tip and all Reacher has to do his fold his arms and glare at the man to get him to stop and grovel for mercy basically. The second scene that encompasses the emotion of this story is when Reacher and his brother are boys and the neighborhood bullies threaten them. Reacher readies himself for a fight and his brother joins him, even though Reacher says he doesn't have to and that this is Reacher's fight. His brother doesn't let him stand alone and they confront the bullies together. It speaks volumes to family loyalty, standing up for what is right and not letting evil win, no matter the personal cost you may face. Reacher is a breath of fresh air in a world that seems to be inundated with nefarious people, poorly written and filmed stories. Masculinity is not toxic and Reacher personifies why masculinity is important. We need Alpha males in this world to stand up to evil and Reacher is the ultimate Alpha. Even the "secondary" characters are portrayed well. While Findley is not Reacher's size he doesn't let him intimidate him and they go toe to toe. Two Alphas, working together, fighting evil and kicking butt. Roscoe doesn't let the men have all the glory either. She holds her own but the show doesn't make her a super hero and it realistically portrays her strength as well as her weakness. Yes, women are capable and have their own strength, but defying natural laws to hold up women artificially makes for poor story telling in my opinion. The show is also called Reacher for a reason and the writers, producers, actors all respected this. While I am not a fan of the writing in the book, I have to give credit to Lee Child for bringing the Reacher character to life and to the show producers for going back to Alan Richtson for casting and for all involved for creating such a fun, exciting, engaging, captivating series. I am eagerly awaiting season 2. Until then, I'll watch season 1 for the 8th time.

Great action movie that wife will enjoy watching also but not just for the action 😂

This is about a very strong, determined Army officer wanting to rid the world of bad guys, even if he has to go undercover and work for bad guys. At times you may ask if he is a little too aggressive and quick to judge people as bad guys, but the series is about someone who has trouble tolerating evil, or bullies and has the strength of mind to do almost anything.

This is the best way to watch Reacher, the bit rate is a solid 40mbps on average, guaranteeing the highest picture quality for this series to date. The fact that collectors have the option to purchase this series physically is appreciated and worthy of praise.

Was a fabulous Series Season 1, including great Actors all around. Lots of Action, DVD was in Excellent shape,,,,, Thank You So Much Amazon!

I have read all of the book witten by Lee Child and this video stays quite well with the story line. Very exciting. Thank you.

Have the original movies, Very good. Bought season one and so much better. Looking forward to season 2. Cheers

Apres les films the reacher avec tom cruise, voici la serie avec un nouvel acteur pour jouer le role de jack reacher. Premiere chose qui est fidele au roman c'est que le personnage est une armoire comme dans le livre. Le personnage est bien amené, l'histoire est vraiment bonne, les personnages sont tous tres bien casté. (Que ce soit les 1ers roles ou second roles). Les 8 episodes sont bourrés d'action, de pointe d'humour, et on se plait a suivre cette aventure a margrave. L'image bluray est nickel, des couleurs respectés, un son 5.1 bien mais un peu faiblard. (Les voix sont un peu basses. Si vous avez deja regardé la serie sur amazon prime, le son y est uniformisé, et ca choc la 1ere fois. Pour ce qui est des bonus on est sur un making of (promotionnel) de 10/15mn et une video parlant du roman. Donc là dessus c'est le strict minimum. Apres, pour 23€, la serie vaut vraiment le coup, et ca ca fait un bien fou.
