Like Reacher, the film and TV series doesn't satisfy fans of the books. But for me coming in from the outside I loved it and found it very original. Can't wait for season 2, if there is one.

Just finished the first season. I enjoyed it. Much more satisfying than the films where I could never get over Tom Cruise playing Reacher. I like that they kept the violence of the books. Ritchson looks as I'd always imagined Reacher face wise, although he is a little too ripped. In the books Reacher never goes to the gym, he's just your natural brick sh**house. But that's a minor point I can live with. Some of the acting and script is a little wooden sometimes, especially Ritchson but having said that his character isn't known for being loquacious. Hopefully in season two they'll get it tightened up.

I didn't know what to expect going into this. I like Martin Freeman but when I heard he was doing a scouse accent I was a little worried. But he did a very good job. I also thought it might be the usual cop drama but how wrong I was. I loved it! Some people will have trouble with the accent, I guess they will watch it with subtles and then look up the words they dont know. I really liked the liverpool vibe. Looking forward to the next series!
