Shepard Wong Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I’m four episodes in and Reacher is really good. This is a better adaptation than I expected. Willa Fitzgerald got naked already so that’s a plus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've read all of the Reacher books (I think I couldn't get through maybe two of the more recent ones though, just awful). I am not sure I will watch the TV stuff. I was debating. Saw some decent reviews and some awful reviews. He is 6'5', 250 lbs in the books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new guy probably doesnt quite fit that build, but is certainly bigger than Tom Cruise. Reacher books, nor this series, will never be considered high cultured art by any means, but like the books, the TV series moves at a good pace and entertains the reader/viewer. Give it a shot. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is spot on. It’s a damned good version of what it tries to be: Decent mystery, likable characters, fun action sequences, and some funny dialogue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacesOut Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Small issue -- Reacher looks jacked/ripped/weight lifting physique for the TV series. But, in the books, he is just big, strong and powerful, a seasoned and experienced fighter. He constantly travels, he has no permanent home; therefore, he wouldn't have a gym body. Again, small issue. Just something I noticed. Also, in the books he's mostly scruffy, unshaven, messy hair, etc...he seems a bit too clean in the TV series. Too Military. BUT, it's still better than having a 5'8" actor portray Reacher. SMH at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gern Blanston Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 https://deadline.com/2022/02/reacher-renewed-season-2-amazon-1234928214/ Jack Reacher is returning. Amazon has renewed Alan Ritchson-fronted action drama series Reacher for a second season. The fast turnaround renewal comes three days after the streamer launched the Lee Child adaptation. Amazon said that Reacher ranked in its top five most-watched series ever in the U.S. and globally over a 24-hour period – though it’s worth noting that all eight episodes of the series launched at once. The company added that it also was among its highest-rated original series, with subscribers giving it an average rating of 4.7 out of 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there's a correlation between views and how many episodes are released. I like the season releases instead of the week-to-week ones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the season releases instead of the week-to-week ones I would think a full season drop probably does better because it likely generates more social media buzz/chatter and the fact that its easier to follow characters/plots without a 7 day interruption. That said, I don't completely mind the weekly doses either - if only to draw things out rather than blow thru a season over a weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPeeteRules Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Just watch Panic. Not great, but a decent show that’s one season long and gives you a decent story for that one season. Reminds me of that movie Nerve. A quick 10 show series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible dialogue and acting. So bad. I liked Reacher. We discussed it in here or the netflix thread maybe.... but some of us were unsure but leaning towards the guy acted that way on purpose because thats the character. People said he has been good in other things. I think the character is just really dry, and doesnt say much. I enjoyed the investigation, and whatever action there was. I would definitely say that The Terminal List is better. I think you can probably poke a few holes in the plot. But the action is better. Overall just a cooler show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched some of it this weekend. Good action thriller series. Kind of like a more realistic version of The Punisher. A buddy of mine who is in the teams thought it was really well done from a gun handling/tactics view. I guess the writer (former SEAL himself) had a lot of sway over the action sequences. It won’t win any awards, but it’s definitely entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
