Reacher

Dear Hollywood, This is how it should work. People read a book. People like that book. You then just film the book directly. No messing about, no rewrites, no major edits, no nonsense, no casting someone 5'9" to play a 6'5" monster.

I read the book last year and the biggest change I could spot was that it was a slightly less ridiculous sports car that he borrows from the bankers wife.

True to the book. True to the character. Entertaining and fun.

Right amount of action. Right amount of humor.

Looking forward to another season & book.

Definitely recommend it to anyone. You don't need to have read the book to understand & enjoy it.

Surprisingly good show, with great action scenes and a likeable main character. An interesting crime story that reminds us of good old-fashioned entertainment.

The story follows the atmosphere from the books well, and the casting is great. Alan Ritchson is a great choice for the role of Jack Reacher, not only does he look like him, but he conveyed his character well on screen.

Most of today's series is unwatchable, but this is a really positive surprise. The series follows the plot of the first book, "Killing Floor," and Reacher tries to find the culprits responsible for a series of murders.

The show is a real surprise, because it does not suffer from most of the common flaws of today's film production. There are only a few small things that could be better, but this is definitely better than the vast majority of today's shows, because it tries to entertain the viewer, and not bother him with unnecessary things.

The fight scenes are excellent, tense and brutal. Alan Ritchson is convincing in the role of Jack Reacher, but the other actors also portrayed their characters well. A really pleasant surprise, considering that most good stories are ruined by today's writers.

The show looks interesting, very cinematic and is well directed. The soundtrack is good, it blended in perfectly with the atmosphere of the story.

An interesting crime story with an excellent main character, tense plot, brutal action and a good cast.

I am surprised by people who gave the low ratings. I found it very watchable without the filler minutes that many of these series have now. Perhaps the villains weren't as good as some other shows, but they sure did evil things. Some pretty strong supporting characters for the cast, and some a bit lackluster.

I am sure there will be a season 2 and I hope it will be stronger than many of other Prime season 2 series.

I read the book some years ago and despite remembering the entire story I still couldn't stop watching this series. If you haven't read the books this series still stands on its own offering lots of action with an almost super-powered hero who has chosen to help those who have been wronged by fighting the bad guys. Plus, Reacher is hot. Will be waiting for season 2.
