Season 2 Review: All the components for a helluva good time are here. Ritchson hasn’t lost a step as America’s 21st century answer to the wandering anti-hero archetype, and the show hasn’t forgotten what made the first iteration so entertaining: lots of satisfying ass-kicking by way of a WWE-sized Sherlock Holmes-type. What’s not to love? Read full review

Season 2 Review: Reacher proves once again that it’s not just a good show, but a great one. Eleven stars out of five. It is also—obviously—a really bad one. But its badness is absolutely flawless, ultimately only contributing to its greatness. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Reacher is huge, pulpy fun and far classier than you might expect. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Reacher season 3 delivers another classic round of sharp twists, witty humor, palpable suspense, and thrilling action while also upping the ante with bigger villains and darker themes. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Courtesy of Alan Ritchson’s stoic lead performance as the noble behemoth, it remains satisfyingly mean, macho, and—literally and figuratively—muscular. Read full review

Season 3 Review: While there's plenty of fun to be had, the plot twists ultimately feel less impactful. It might be beneficial for the next season to spice things up a little more, especially as the cracks are starting to show in the series' latest batch of episodes. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The books live and die by Reacher himself as this dirty, ass-kicking genius. If he’s not interesting, none of it is. So far, we’ve gotten one onscreen Jack Reacher who had the charisma but not the size, and another where the reverse is true. Read full review

Alan Ritchson was phenomenal as the titular character, very much embodying the role he played. I loved the fight choreography of this series. Everyone involved did an amazing job.

This is just fun, loud and straightforward action/drama that streaming has been lacking. Is it life-changing, must-watch TV? Nope, but what really has been these days.

Nope, but what really has been these days. It just puts a smile on my face to finish a series and say, "That was cool. I like the characters, the action was great. Looking forward to more". Best Reacher adaption by far, Ritchson is perfect, a slightly younger version of what I pictured while reading the novels. Looking forward to next season. I def recommend it.… Expand

This is CW quality. The final episodes were cheesy 80's B-movie quality.

I understand why it's getting good audience reviews - people are longing for traditional masculinity to be heroic again, instead of "toxic masculinity" pervading every woke show and movie. That's what drew me in as well, but this is just poor quality, dumb writing, and aside from Reacher, there's plenty of wokeness around.

Reacher himself was good, but this is the made-for-TV version, not movie quality. Tom Cruise may be 5'7", but he is much more realistic as a soldier. You won't find any Navy SEALS built like Hulk Hogan, waxed down, looking like they spend 4 hours a day bodybuilding in the gym. No, they tend to be smaller, leaner, quicker, more lethal. This Reacher also gets beaten up a lot by guys half his size. He's a pretty terrible fighter. Should spend less time bodybuilding and more time on the mat.… Expand
