REACHER Reaches Its Potential

© by Gerald So | 6:00 AM

I binged the full eight-episode season of REACHER on Prime Video yesterday, an excellent adaptation of the first Reacher book, KILLING FLOOR. Reacher could become Alan Ritchson's signature role, but the show's supporting cast is just as memorable and brings the show up a notch with storylines of their own. Reacher being a wanderer, future seasons will also be judged on the strength of the chosen story and supporting actors.

In terms of pure action, REACHER is reminiscent of unrepentantly bloody 1980s movies, fitting as Reacher would've been played by Arnold Schwarzenegger then. I do have some plausibility bones to pick, but I'll do that sometime later on Twitter.
