It’s the standard formula for Childs, and it sells. That’s what happens here. I’m enjoying it. Reacher’s a good guy.
I never read the books. I liked the video version of season 2. Season 3 seems OK, but is sort of repetitious. I will continue to watch it, but I will probably give it a B rating. As to his acting, I don't think that it is that bad. He plays the strong, silent type well and has a dose of humor in his lines. He is ,sort of, like Clint Eastwood with pumped up muscles. I noticed that he doesn't run well. There seems to be a double doing the running scenes. Has anyone else noticed this? Of course when he has his shirt and pants off he looks like he could run fast with ALL those muscles. Maybe he had some football injury in college ....or something. I am just guessing and maybe someone else knows the answer to the question. Does he need a double to do his running?
