Reacher (2022–)

SEASON 1: 8/10! Dean even said it had zero wokery, which is weird since they highlighted Finlay's race multiple times, but I guess it's only woke when the bigots don't like it. I'm gonna assume Dean's 10/10 review was sarcasm due to the aneurysm-inducing vocabulary used. "No woke, good Reacher!" -- SEASON 2 & 3: Varying degrees of dog shit with some fun moments sprinkled in. These seasons are so... "YOU DOH MESS WITH DE SPECIAL ALLIGATORS, B-B-B-B-B-BOI!" forgettable that I've never rewatched them despite rewatching Season 1. I might be being overly…

Mostly fun. The show took a huge turn in Season four. Firstly, a clear recommendation to watch 1-3. During season 4 though the writing took a dive though. If you're sensitive to the fun/believability ratio, maybe chose differently. The exposition in S4E7 is barely bearable. Ritchsons presence, charisma and sheer will seem to carry... and I myself am surprised to say that, a LOT. Get your mind off and it's refreshingly good, almost retro-feel TV.

Reacher (2022) is such a great example of a series that gets the balance between action, mystery, and character development right. Alan Ritchson’s performance really makes Reacher feel like the larger-than-life character fans expect, while the investigation keeps the story moving. Definitely a must-watch for action and thriller fans.
