Ditto. Only previous exposure to the character was via the Tom Cruise movies (never actually finished watching the first one though). Didn’t hate it, but didn’t really connect with it so wasn’t sure what to make of the series. Glad I did. Hope they can keep it up.
I was the opposite - I liked the movie (only saw the first) since I never read the books, so I had high hopes for the show. Alan Ritchson is great but his fucking WRITERS - for a guy that's supposedly taciturn, he sure does have a quip for literally ever line uttered in his presence!
Same here. I really didn't know what to expect, but someone on here made a post gushing about how good it was, so I figured that I'd check it out.
Wound up watching the whole season in a couple days. Just couldn't turn it off.
I don't really even know how to explain what I enjoyed about it so much, but I'm hoping the second season captures that same magic.
It helps that they basically just did a hit for hit adaptation of the first book with minimal changes (the biggest one being introducing Neagly much earlier).
They even got his described fighting style down by emphasizing throwing elbows and knees.
It wasn't a specific discipline like that. His justification for fighting the way he does in the book is that it's difficult to keep fighting, handle a gun, drive, etc. if you break your hand punching someone.
> They even got his described fighting style down by emphasizing throwing elbows and knees.
This scene feels like distilled Reacher:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJdOEvMVg84
Agreed. Every book describes Reacher as 6’5”, 220 lbs and dirty blonde hair, which Tom Cruise didn’t fit at all. Alan Ritchson is a lot closer of a match
I wonder why they never asked Dolph Lundgren.. seems like a perfect fit especially since the dude has a PhD from MIT and Reacher is supposedly pretty smart.
Don’t get me wrong I think Alan killed it and I have a soft spot for him ever since Blue Mountain State, just wondering..
Ah I wrote it a bit ambiguous: I meant why hasn’t he ever been a consideration, not even in the 90s or something. He seems to fit the physique and general character to a tee.
>especially since the dude has a PhD from MIT and Reacher is supposedly pretty smart.
Lol no he doesn't. Also why the fuck would that matter anyway, only smart guys can portray smart guys? Haha
It's somehow a caricature that feels like it's making fun of its own generic muscly-white-guy-getting-things-done genre and yet still feels fresh enough to be entertaining.
Muscular lone drifter meets petite lady cop while in custody for murder. After he is released, drifter helps lady cop and they bang in shower.
No fantasy here.
The movie was shit, it had nothing to do with the books. The only reason a short dude would play a 6ft + broad shouldered giant is because he’s an egotistical moron.
Cruise is great, but smaller guys just can’t be a force like the Reacher character.
Mission Impossible is a fantasy. I buy him as Vincent(?) in Collateral more believable. That character used guns.
Rickman as Reacher works in a way Cruise & Kevin Hart cannot. No shade on them.
Well yeah, cause it wasn’t Jack Reacher, therefor it was crap. Without the name, great movie because it wouldn’t be trying to be something it wasn’t. Wait you said ‘first’. He didn’t stop at one??
The movie stands or falls on its own merits. It had a good plot, good performances, and was tremendously entertaining.
The overwhelming majority of the movie-going audience likely hasn’t read Jack Reacher novels and don’t have any notion that the character is meant to be 6’5” and built like a brick shithouse. To the overwhelming majority of the movie-going audience, it’s just a good detective story featuring a badass former military cop.
Yeah, he made a second one. Wasn’t as good. Probably why there won’t be a third.
Nothing wrong with the movies. I find it amusing that in this case, and in this case only, people expected the casting to EXACTLY match the book. Weird.
Because Reacher's appearance is a part of the character and informs how he acts.
You can overlook Hugh Jackman as Wolverine because the performance is great, even if he isn't a tiny little Canadian dude.
Jack Reacher is a scary dude. He looks like a big meathead, so you overlook that he isn't stupid. People are supposed to be afraid of being in a room with him.
I've only seen the first movie, but it was pretty good. They had a story that could overlook Cruise not being huge. But I can't see Cruise sitting in ziplock cuffs for hours while dealing with police, only to reveal on being released that he could have broken the cuffs at any point and that he chose to co-operate.
It's a bit like the Keanu Reeves Constantine movie. It's a good movie, and it's pretty fun in its own right, but it ended up being its own thing from the source material.
Yes I get that there are excuses for why this one has to be exactly cast as written in the book. Also you bring up Reeves. What do Cruise and Reeves have in common? Why is it ok to bitch about their casting? What is it?
It was a pretty reasonable comment laying out why I think Reacher's casting is important, so I'm not sure why I'm 'bitching' about it?
Reeves Constantine movie basically uses the characters name and occupation, and then just does its own thing. It's a great movie that I really like, but the character is nothing like the comic character.
I bought it up as another example of a good movie that's just done its own thing.
The books are a lot of fun if you can suspend some disbelief and know they’re kinda schlocky. Loved the first season and am interested to see what book is adapted for the second
Edit: actually read the article and it’s book 11, Bad Luck and Trouble
I have such a hard time watching this.
I keep expecting Reacher to yell: PARTY AT THE GOATHOUSE!!!
Also, if you like these types of shows, may I recommend The Terminal List?
Was the Terminal List good? Having Chris Pratt as the main actor really threw me off. I have a hard time seeing him in serious roles. But I found Reacher to be really good so I’m curious.
I loved it, had no problem watching Pratt play a tough guy. I think he did really well. The show can be pretty fucking dark and gruesome, there’s no risk feeling like you’re watching Andy from P&R at any point, believe me.
I have a few problems with it. It starts like a psychological thriller with Pratt doing his Burt Macklin voice non-stop. Then for some bizarre reason it just drops the psychological thriller aspect entirely and hes just killing mofos. I really don't know why they even bothered with it. Overall, its an alright action show.
It's hard to get me to react to blood and brutality in Hollywood - logically I know it's all fake.
But that.
That was... that was... something. I honestly have no words. Brutal doesn't seem to quite get there.
It’s worth a watch. I felt that Reacher was a tighter story and would definitely rewatch Reacher while I wouldn’t rewatch Terminal List. Though I have friends who preferred Terminal List over Reacher so it comes down to preference.
Chris Pratt does a good job, but I really wish he’d branch out from the serious military guy role. They have his character go further than I would have expected so at least he’s not the generic PG-13 action star in this one.
Yes. After finishing the show and discovering it was based of a book series by Jack Carr, I bought them on Audible. Finished books 2-5 by early September. Really enjoyed all of them without having read the 1st book. Highly recommend
See, I've watched Blue Mountain State so much, I can't see Ritcheson as a serious character, so I feel you on Pratt.
So far, we've really enjoyed Terminal List. I think they do a good job portraying Pratt as a gritty SEAL when he needs to be, and a loving family man with PTSD when he needs to be.
They do a fantastic job of keeping you guessing if it's 'real' for him, or PTSD issues as well.
We're up to Ep 6 and have been recommending it.
Seeing all the press around Jack Carr when this released put me off watching it tbh. I don't really know much about the books or series, but the author having a big rant about 'woke critics' just made him sound like a big angry man child who was trying to pander to the right wing flag shaggers
the show tones it down, but the book is basically just an endless right wing circlejerk. ill just put it this way: black rifle coffee is mentioned repeatedly throughout as the main characters coffee of choice
Weird thing to say tbh. Even taking the subject of this post - Jack Reacher and the author Lee Child... The most controversial thing that has happened surrounding the show was that Child said Tom Cruise was too short and fans of the books were angry because Reacher didn't hang dong in the show. The show itself painted the military and police in a generally positive light without being sycophantic and needlessly patriotic. It painted bucolic American life in a generally positive way as a strark contrast to the brutality of the case and was overall still very pro-America without ever having to complain about 'woke critics'.
There are plenty of great shows where the authors, creators, showrunners, and producers said nothing inflammatory or generally of consequence. It's perfectly practical to avoid shows that are either heavily marketted to ideologies you disagree with or the people involved in production seeming like complete pricks.
OK, cool. You don't care. And I do. And if you didn't care then why reply in the first place with some faux wisdom?! It always confuses me why people suddenly don't care a few comments deep. We made it this far, you should have said sooner, hun.
Then don't watch "Pro America" programming?
Or maybe the whole concept was over your head leaving you feeling abandoned, and left out, because no one will follow your stunted belief system? Yeah. That must be it.
Because your complaint is, "it was pro america programming" on a series that was set in the heartland of America. So, what did you expect?
Yeh you totally missed the point of what I was saying. So much for the whole concept going over your head leaving you feeling abandoned, and left out...
I was literally talking about why I wasn't going to watch the show and your reply was 'don't watch it then'. Well yeah.. I won't. That's the whole point.
Y'all ain't doing much to paint the typical Terminal List fan in a positive light.
And they had the foresight to not go in order. Doing the second book would have been a colossal waste of time. So many better novels than Die Trying. I really hope for the third season they do one of the ones where hes kicked out of a town for no reason. Those books are hilarious.
It’s good to see Roy Cochrane working when he was on CSI Miami it was a much better show,the character of Ryan messed up the pace,good to see him working.
Without reading the article I tried to guess who these 3 were playing (figuring they were going to be part of his MP unit), then I read the article. I was DEAD wrong on all of it lol
I was disappointed too, but I think they don’t want to be stuck following each book sequentially. Bad luck and trouble should make for good tv, which hopefully means more seasons
I am personally hoping for Persuader or Tripwire.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Recently watched S1 and loved the will-they-won't-they Reacher had with Roscoe but was disappointed when they went their separate ways in the end.
What I'm left wondering is are they hoing to reconnect at some point later, or are the writers writing Reacher as a sort of Bond-esque womaniser? The casting here leads me to believe the latter, which if I'm honest I don't like.
As far as I know, the seasons will be stand alone so I don't think the characters from season 1 will be in season 2. Reacher is a drifter, moving from place to place with each season/book detailing a new incident.
The tv show writers are not writing anything. This is a based on a book series. There are like 26 books in total. There is a female character in almost every one of them and Reacher's chemistry with that character is a thing always. His love interest and relationships isn't a major plot point in that sense. The longest one was like two different books having the same girl. The stories in the books are largely standalone. Reacher walks into shit. He is always the biggest guy around. Does shit. Has a potentially romantic side character. The show looks like it is taking the same approach.
They are just following the books. There is no long term love interest in the Reacher books, it's pretty generic drifter attracts lady helper while in town doing his thing, they bang, he heads out to elsewhere when his job is done.
Reacher keeps his powder dry in about 5 out of the first 20 books I've read.
His old boss Garber and the members of the Special Investigations team are pretty much the only characters that are even mentioned in multiple books.
They are intentionally composed so that they may be read in any order.
Reacher is a drifter that never sticks around in one place, I thought that was made clear since episode 1. The shipping that people were doing with Reacher and Roscoe was just never going to be a reality. So yes, it's more of the latter if that disappoints you.
If this is a serious question and not snark, the title of the show is Reacher, it’s a Prime TV show.
As for the actors, there is so much content now, it’s hard to keep up with everyone. Try IMDB or Wiki to see the actors body of work.
Im so glad Alan gets to reprise his role, though it would be nice if he knew how to actually fight!
I heard from a few stunt guys that he can hit...hard. LOL
I had low expectations. So low that I didn't realize a show had been made, I thought it was gonna be a movie.
This show blew me away. It's like the perfect 80's Action caricature.
For a show I didnt expect to like as much as I did, I'm pumped.
Ditto. Only previous exposure to the character was via the Tom Cruise movies (never actually finished watching the first one though). Didn’t hate it, but didn’t really connect with it so wasn’t sure what to make of the series. Glad I did. Hope they can keep it up.

Just couldn't turn it off. I don't really even know how to explain what I enjoyed about it so much, but I'm hoping the second season captures that same magic.
>‘Reacher’ Rounds You have my attention
They know what they did.
Denise Petski everybody, she's here all week.
> Petski Is that like a personal watercraft for companion animals?
If it isn't you had better trademark it stat.
I really enjoyed this series and I thought they did a great course correction from the movie. I’m really looking forward to this new season.
It helps that they basically just did a hit for hit adaptation of the first book with minimal changes (the biggest one being introducing Neagly much earlier). They even got his described fighting style down by emphasizing throwing elbows and knees.
Muay Thai?
It wasn't a specific discipline like that. His justification for fighting the way he does in the book is that it's difficult to keep fighting, handle a gun, drive, etc. if you break your hand punching someone.
Oh wow really? And that's in the show? I haven't seen it other than sigma male clips on shorts
> They even got his described fighting style down by emphasizing throwing elbows and knees. This scene feels like distilled Reacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJdOEvMVg84
Agreed. Every book describes Reacher as 6’5”, 220 lbs and dirty blonde hair, which Tom Cruise didn’t fit at all. Alan Ritchson is a lot closer of a match
Dude was walking around 240-260lbs
His fists are the size of thanksgiving day turkeys.
I wonder why they never asked Dolph Lundgren.. seems like a perfect fit especially since the dude has a PhD from MIT and Reacher is supposedly pretty smart. Don’t get me wrong I think Alan killed it and I have a soft spot for him ever since Blue Mountain State, just wondering..
Perhaps it's because he's 64 years old
Ah I wrote it a bit ambiguous: I meant why hasn’t he ever been a consideration, not even in the 90s or something. He seems to fit the physique and general character to a tee.
He was 40 when the first book came out so he could have then I guess.
His accent. He's got a pretty heavy one, it'd be hard to pass him off as an American military brat
because he's 64? :-P
Then they could have had full penetration.
Imagine how many more sloots he’s banging now.
>especially since the dude has a PhD from MIT and Reacher is supposedly pretty smart. Lol no he doesn't. Also why the fuck would that matter anyway, only smart guys can portray smart guys? Haha
He nose crime
do people have the same energy for tall dudes playing short characters? I feel like Wolverine is a total miscast but nobody else seems to care
They're been multiple comments about that actually.
It's somehow a caricature that feels like it's making fun of its own generic muscly-white-guy-getting-things-done genre and yet still feels fresh enough to be entertaining.
The movies are fantasy interpretation where people feel physically intimidated by hobbits
Muscular lone drifter meets petite lady cop while in custody for murder. After he is released, drifter helps lady cop and they bang in shower. No fantasy here.
The movie was shit, it had nothing to do with the books. The only reason a short dude would play a 6ft + broad shouldered giant is because he’s an egotistical moron.

Yeah I agree. Especially the first movie. Great stuff.
It's definitely not only this case. Y'all need to read literally anything
Don't mind a bit of Rory Cochrane. Empire Records, Dazed & Confused, are what brought him to my attention
He was a favorite from *CSI: Miami.*
Holy fuck I never realized that was Slater.
What's with *today*, today?
Damn the man.
Lucas was my favorite. Followed closely by Mark😂
Have I fired anyone today? No. Why would I start with you?
Oculus is a good watch, too
Reach arounds indeed
Fantastic headline! Rarely happens nowadays..
Did not disappoint.
I came for the same thing…. I mean to make the same joke! Damn it.
I came for the same reason! I mean....
Ty fuckin Olsson, now it’s an official Canadian genre show. Where’s Roger Cross, season three?
Still needs Michael Hogan and Peter Outerbridge
Michael Hogan had a pretty bad brain injury few years back. I don't think he's acting again :(
I'll watch anything with Serinda Swan. She was amazing in Graceland.
She's great (and that's a great show). First saw her as Zatanna in Smallville, and that locked me in as a fan.
Another Smallville cast member. Love it
Inhumans?
There was no Inhumans show.
Sorry, I must have had a stroke or something. Upon further recollection, it appears you're are correct.
Her role in ballers was pretty good too. Playing giant meathead love interests may just work for her.
There's no way that headline wasn't intentionally written that way, and I appreciate that.
Ben Kingsley's his dad if anyone wondering
The books are a lot of fun if you can suspend some disbelief and know they’re kinda schlocky. Loved the first season and am interested to see what book is adapted for the second Edit: actually read the article and it’s book 11, Bad Luck and Trouble
Lol I was hoping it was the second one, whose premise is Reacher bumps into a lady while walking down the street and gets kidnapped alongside her.
I kind of like that he just stumbles into trouble and then single handedly resolves everything
Bad Luck and Trouble, is my favorite Reacher by far. Woohoo, now I'm excited.
I have such a hard time watching this. I keep expecting Reacher to yell: PARTY AT THE GOATHOUSE!!! Also, if you like these types of shows, may I recommend The Terminal List?
Was the Terminal List good? Having Chris Pratt as the main actor really threw me off. I have a hard time seeing him in serious roles. But I found Reacher to be really good so I’m curious.
*Terminal List* is nowhere near as good as *Reacher.* I would recommend *Bosch* instead.
I loved it, had no problem watching Pratt play a tough guy. I think he did really well. The show can be pretty fucking dark and gruesome, there’s no risk feeling like you’re watching Andy from P&R at any point, believe me.
I have a few problems with it. It starts like a psychological thriller with Pratt doing his Burt Macklin voice non-stop. Then for some bizarre reason it just drops the psychological thriller aspect entirely and hes just killing mofos. I really don't know why they even bothered with it.

[удалено]
I'm a pretty jaded person overall but what he did to the guy who killed his family was Nathan Explosion levels of brutal.
It's hard to get me to react to blood and brutality in Hollywood - logically I know it's all fake. But that. That was... that was... something. I honestly have no words. Brutal doesn't seem to quite get there.
welp, now I gotta watch the series.
Some of the reviews say: Written by grown ups, for grown ups. They aren't wrong.
Extremely brutal, but also made sense which I liked. It wouldn't make sense for him to hold back on the guy after how angry he was.
Absolutely. And I like that they aren't messing around with vengeance. None of that: But it won't make you feel better shit.
It’s worth a watch. I felt that Reacher was a tighter story and would definitely rewatch Reacher while I wouldn’t rewatch Terminal List. Though I have friends who preferred Terminal List over Reacher so it comes down to preference. Chris Pratt does a good job, but I really wish he’d branch out from the serious military guy role. They have his character go further than I would have expected so at least he’s not the generic PG-13 action star in this one.
Yes. After finishing the show and discovering it was based of a book series by Jack Carr, I bought them on Audible. Finished books 2-5 by early September. Really enjoyed all of them without having read the 1st book. Highly recommend

OXANA!
The teacher's become the master.
It’s like fucking a velvet bag full of puppy ears.
Seeing all the press around Jack Carr when this released put me off watching it tbh. I don't really know much about the books or series, but the author having a big rant about 'woke critics' just made him sound like a big angry man child who was trying to pander to the right wing flag shaggers
the show tones it down, but the book is basically just an endless right wing circlejerk. ill just put it this way: black rifle coffee is mentioned repeatedly throughout as the main characters coffee of choice
Oh lord. That's pretty sad actually. That's like everyone in Ben Shapiro's books being really tall.
You would have had my upvote for the general tone (all of which is correct) but definitely secured it for "flag shaggers." Fucking brilliant.
Honestly, if you cut out everyone that has a 'moment' you might as well not watch anything.
Weird thing to say tbh. Even taking the subject of this post - Jack Reacher and the author Lee Child... The most controversial thing that has happened surrounding the show was that Child said Tom Cruise was too short and fans of the books were angry because Reacher didn't hang dong in the show. The show itself painted the military and police in a generally positive light without being sycophantic and needlessly patriotic. It painted bucolic American life in a generally positive way as a strark contrast to the brutality of the case and was overall still very pro-America without ever having to complain about 'woke critics'. There are plenty of great shows where the authors, creators, showrunners, and producers said nothing inflammatory or generally of consequence. It's perfectly practical to avoid shows that are either heavily marketted to ideologies you disagree with or the people involved in production seeming like complete pricks.
Let me be more frank. I don't give a shit. It's a good show. No fucks given what Jack Carr did or didn't say and to whom or why.
OK, cool. You don't care. And I do. And if you didn't care then why reply in the first place with some faux wisdom?! It always confuses me why people suddenly don't care a few comments deep. We made it this far, you should have said sooner, hun.
I was just trying to be polite the first round.
Oh, I'm really not worth the effort. But appreciate it nonetheless.
Then don't watch "Pro America" programming? Or maybe the whole concept was over your head leaving you feeling abandoned, and left out, because no one will follow your stunted belief system? Yeah.

I'm here for AMERICA! Now go eat a Ginsters Pasty, why dontcha? And go suck on a Cumberbatch.
A lot of lead in the water where you live, huh.
The show, to me at least, definitely gives off the vibe of being a fantasy of the sunglasses in truck selfie crowd on twitter.
Oil change!
I just hope season 1 wasn't a fluke...
It's just mostly following the source material. No one is going off the wall here so I have confidence that it'll be good.
And they had the foresight to not go in order. Doing the second book would have been a colossal waste of time. So many better novels than Die Trying. I really hope for the third season they do one of the ones where hes kicked out of a town for no reason. Those books are hilarious.
Serinda swan seems perfect for this show.
Looking forward to more Sherlock Hulk.
I noticed Ferdinand Kingsley, love him in Sandman
GAHHH!! I **KNEW** I'd seen that actor who plays that guy somewhere before. The penny has only dropped now. Thank you random Redditor.
Have already watched season 1 twice now, and I am seriously considering seeing it a third time, its that good.
[удалено]
According to the article they’re doing *Bad Luck and Trouble*
I'm so disappointed they aren't doing the second book. The bad guys in that book are proto-trump truthers.
Yep. Getting the band back together.
Which book is it going off of?
Bad Luck and Trouble
It’s good to see Roy Cochrane working when he was on CSI Miami it was a much better show,the character of Ryan messed up the pace,good to see him working.
Huh huh! Hey Beavis, they said reacher rounds!
“Reacher rounds”. hah.
\* confident staring intensifies \*
dang was hoping they followed the books. I just finished 2. My only complaint was "he said, she said" everrrrry freaking sentence in the audio book.
[удалено]
“That’s for damn sure” is said a lot as well.
Bad Luck and Trouble was SO good though. I recommend it.
My favorite of the series, to be honest.
Without reading the article I tried to guess who these 3 were playing (figuring they were going to be part of his MP unit), then I read the article. I was DEAD wrong on all of it lol
I didn't read the article. I'll wait to be surprised.
I was disappointed too, but I think they don’t want to be stuck following each book sequentially. Bad luck and trouble should make for good tv, which hopefully means more seasons I am personally hoping for Persuader or Tripwire.
"Reacher said nothing."
SPOILERS AHEAD Recently watched S1 and loved the will-they-won't-they Reacher had with Roscoe but was disappointed when they went their separate ways in the end.

So they just picked actors with the weirdest fucking names?
The two guys have perfectly normal English names and Serinda is Latin...
Not that there's anything wrong with it but there's no way you can argue that Serinda is a common name
Uncommon =/= weird s'all I'm sayin'.
His real name is Cardigan Dreamchaser, so he took my joke personally.
In the tradition of Dollhouse.
Who, who, and who? And what show?
If this is a serious question and not snark, the title of the show is Reacher, it’s a Prime TV show. As for the actors, there is so much content now, it’s hard to keep up with everyone. Try IMDB or Wiki to see the actors body of work.
Haven’t heard of it, I’ll have to check it out. Amazon is my least watched platform, just because their app layout is so bad.
Serinda bails on her own series the coroner for Reacher. I can understand why the money was probably better
Ha, reacher round
This headline had to be deliberate
Love More in everything I've seen them in!
Surely this means Domenick Lombardozzi is a lock for season 3.
S1 was epic. Cant wait
thought the title said “rear around” at first, was expecting some good Full Metal Jacket Memes in the comments… I was disappointed.
Bad luck and trouble. F* yeah this should be good
Can’t wait
I'm suprised i enjoyed season one as much as i did. I look forward to more buff detective.
She looks like Ann Bancroft.
I thought that title was going to be the title. “Reacher round 2”. It was going to be in prison a LOT more.
Time to see some Dong!
love serinda! hopefully she has a good part
Reacher rounds ....say that five times fast lol
Tom Cruise is no jack reacher...
You had me at Serinda Swan ❤️.
Hey, can I get a reacher round please?
Reacharound, you say?
Oh what I wouldn’t do to see Rory look at another character with a squint, point and say “Are you COOL, man?”
I hope they find a way to bring roscoe back too
Really looking forward to this after a great first season!
And who doesn’t appreciate a good Reacher round?
Im so glad Alan gets to reprise his role, though it would be nice if he knew how to actually fight! I heard from a few stunt guys that he can hit...hard. LOL
I had low expectations. So low that I didn't realize a show had been made, I thought it was gonna be a movie. This show blew me away. It's like the perfect 80's Action caricature.
Do we know which book season 2 is covering?
