    Reacher (Amazon series)

    At least he looks like a Reacher should

    Hopefully this will work well as a series...

    Looks good. I liked what they did with Jack Ryan, so I've got hopes for this one.

    I've not read the source material for either character, although I did know that Reacher is supposed to be a pretty tall and built kinda guy. I did enjoy the Tom Cruise movies (the first one more than the second), but physically he's not a match.

    Reacher is almost meant to be a bit of a freak of nature size/strength wise, and smart as well.

    I'm two episodes in and it's really good so far, hopefully with it being on Amazon it might last more than one series looking at you Netflix.

    Well, there's plenty of material if it proves popoular!

    EDIT: And season 1 done... I thought that was a fairly good effort. Bring on season 2.

    Just finished season one and wow that was really good, good enough for me want to read the books this series is based on, nice to the right sized human playing Reacher, made the fights a little bit more realistic than the Tom Cruise movies.

    For me I think the last episode was the weakest of the bunch, but don't get me wrong it was still really good.

    Here's hoping for season 2

    8/10

    Yeh... Agree. Generally a good first series. If they can now build on it with another book adaptation, fab!

    Finished the season earlier today. Enjoyed it. I thought the middle portion was a smidge on the slow side (but then again I was watching it in fits and starts my with Dad), but overall I dug it and like the guy in the main role.

    Loved it when he got fully kitted out and waited for the baddies at the mansion.

    Season 2 must be good, then, and they're quite confident in it and/or this is just the announcement of a decision taken a while back that'll be more financially efficient (similarly so for the production) - kinda like how seasons 3 and 4 of Jack Ryan were done back-to-back and only had about six months between their airings.
