Amazon's Jack Reacher

[Sawasdee1983]

Just finished Season 1, from the start till the end just awesome. Thats the Reacher from the books. I hope there will be many more seasons

Apparently Alan Ritchson put on 30lbs of muscle to play Jack Reacher

I enjoyed that. I watched the 8 episodes in a row. Time flew by so It must've been good.

Let's hope there's more to come. Bloke's built like a brick outhouse and dishes out the ultra violence without a pause when needed.

I believe it. He looked HUGE

[Schwartzy]

Excellent show!
Alan Ritchson is born to play this role, so good!

Felt alot like stuff in the arnold era of acton films and the possibly even a nod to

[Show spoiler]terminator with the driving into police station

Hoping bluray release but not holding my breath...

Binge watched this loved it great chemistry between all the actors

[Lee A Stewart]

The season is not 100% made up of the Killing Floor book. The flashbacks when Reacher is young comes from the book: No Middle Name. Frances Neagley doesn't show up until the 4th book: Without Fail.

I am not being critical about the additions. They definitely helped with the storyline.

I’m only two episodes in, but I love it. I never thought a well worn genre like police/crime procedurals would feel fresh, but this does. The cast is great.

I'm only two episodes in and I'm absolutely loving it. And Roscoe is hella cute!

If Henry Cavil isn't going to play Superman anymore, Alan Ritchson would be a great replacement.

[Mandalorian]

If he doesn’t steal that dog by the end of this season, I’ll be pissed.

I'm enjoying the series very much, Alan Ritchson is decent enough, but he's not much of a fighter (or not what I see when I'm reading a novel) he gets pulled around a bit too much. He's a bit too clean cut and his clothes are a bit too fresh off the rack (even when they're from rift stores or donation bins).

All nit-picks which is a compliment to the show.

Reacher in my mind's eye.

Last two episodes were weak. Liked the rest

[NzYme]

What a great show. I blew through the 8 episodes! Season 2 should get approved straight away!!!

This was a very fast paced 8 episode show. It breezed by without any dead air or slow moments. That's a problem with some streaming series - they seem to really drag at times.

Yea even if a show is only 8 eps and drags... Not good look but luckily this isnt nowhere near one of those.. tough i would love longer seasons

[Fiffy]

Very entertaining so far. The chemistry between the three lead actors is great.

Watched the series over two nights. Never read the books so I had no preconceived notion of what Reacher was supposed to look like when Cruise brought him to the big screen. After finishing the series I watched Jack Reacher 1 with Cruise and Pike. Cruise looked even smaller after watching Ritchson's portrayal.

Loved every episode. Not afraid to show some violence. Never saw Willa Fitzgerald before but damn that girl is a cutie (in an unconventional way). Hoping for a season 2.

[Bodyslide]

Good season, I like the Lee Child cameo in the last episode.

[mcrowell415]

After seeing some positive talk I decided to give it a try. I have heard of the books. Never read them. Was not familiar with the character. After the first episode I got a bad ass Sherlock Holmes vibe which I found entertaining. Im on episode three and I am enjoying this.

[BudBaxter]

Binged the lot over 2 nights. Loved it. Alan Ritchson's not the greatest actor in the world, but he looks the part & has the attitude down. The action was suitably dirty & brutal (glad to see the trademark headbutt was in full effect & you could really feel those bones break), plus Bruce McGill & Kristin Kreuk!

Only a few points that bugged me:

[Show spoiler]
1. Reacher getting beaten pretty well by that tiny weasely sidekick guy. Even if he did have a crowbar, he still looked like no match for our hero. He also deserved a much more painful ending after all his smug posturing in the rest of the season.

2. The slightly ropey CGI explosions & smoke in the finale. I miss the days when if they were going to blow up a building in a movie or tv show, they'd blow up a building.

3. Psycho villain didn't get more pain inflicted on him before he went up in flames. He deserved an ankle stomp at least.

4. Reacher burying his mom's medal where he did. Yes, it was where Joe was killed, but wouldn't it have made more sense & been more respectful to bury it with Joe? I just had visions of some random kid kicking through the dirt & finding it the next day.

5. Reacher didn't drink enough coffee.

Also, it's been a while since I read it, but was Roscoe a blonde in the novel? In pretty much every other Reacher book, the love interest is almost always a petite brunette (presumably Lee Child's personal tastes?). Willa Fitzgerald was great though.

Anyhoo, I hope it's a hit for Amazon & we get many more seasons.
