The Review: Reacher Season 2

Reacher Season Two 10/10

I fucking love this show. What I like most about it is that when a season ends even if they didn't bring it back (they are though!) there aren't any lingering questions. Besides, you could just read the books as well. They're very good and will make you hate the Tom Cruise movies. This season starts off with a man being tossed from a helicopter. I was like “That's a hell of a way to go.” Meanwhile Reacher is in a small town about to use an ATM and while waiting a nervous woman is in front of him. He talks to her and is told that she has her son in the car and a man with a gun is having her withdraw money. Reacher beats this man like a drum and them heads back to the ATM and sees a secret message on his receipt. Neagley (who is one of the coolest characters on television right now) knows that Reacher has no house, phone, or way to get in touch with him so she used military codes for assistance needed.

The Review: Reacher

Reacher 9/10

I loved this damned show. Years ago I saw the movies and was a fan of the first one but the second was trash. I started reading the books and had trouble getting into them because Tom Cruise looks nothing like the character. I can get past that a lot of times but the dudes size is such an important part of his aura that I would lose focus thinking of an actor to replace him with in my head. When they announced a series was coming and the author asked for ideas for the star of it I wrote a blog post (click here for that) of who I thought could pull it off. Well, they didn't pick who I wanted but they did a damn good job because I can't picture anyone else playing the role now. And thank god they didn't go with a young actor.
