First three episodes out on Amazon Prime. Pretty good so far.

Great character and actor doing great job. Will probably wait for a few more episodes to drop so we can watch nightly.

Has the writing improved? I attempted to watch some of the first season and the main character was ambushing "bad guys", shooting some from behind, and moments later being all friendly with local law enforcement who never questioned anything he did, no investigation, nothing. Was just too unrealistic for me.

I did read the book that Season 3 is based on but did that a long time ago.

Never seen it, but now it’s on my list.

Season 2 was horrible. Artificial dialogue, and unnatural interactions. I found myself wondering why people kept praising it.

It is not a realistic take on anything.

I watched the first season but couldn't follow the plot. I gave up on it altogether.

I enjoyed season one, although the acting was mediocre. Season two was a little worse, acting wise. I love the books and I'll jump into season three soon but I'm hoping the dialogue and delivery are better...

It can't be any worse than the Reacher novels have been, since Joe Finder & then Andrew Grant started to do all the writing.

I watched one episode of the 1st season and it was like watching a cartoon.

[retiredguy123]

I watched the first episode of Season 3. I still cannot understand the plot. This is a lousy show and not worth worth watchiing. My opinion.

[Stu from NYC]

If you read the books and understand the nature of Reacher it makes more sense. It is a fun show to watch.

[Cuervo]

I watch one season, never read the books, I did see Tom Cruise movie version. Ok I'll somehow will take the premise that he has no place to live and spend most of his time hitchhiking, but I have to ask the question does this guy ever smile. This would be the last person I would want to talk to at a party. Besides looking like he hates everyone in the world, with the no place to live I would assume he does not bath every day.

If you think the episodes are unrealistic, you should read the books. Clicking the safety off his Glock. Snub nosed .38 special wouldn't penetrate his leather jacket and thick muscles. Beretta wouldn't function because the rounds had been in the magazine too long. Those of us with military or law enforcement get a kick out of the inaccuracies. I keep reading them, though.

[bsloan1960]

I've read every book and short story. Reacher should be shown operating alone. The addition of these ex-military sidekicks has ruined it. You can be sure that if this series lasts 10 season- these side kicks will be in every season, which means the writers will have to depart from the books they claim the serie is based on. The acting and plot progession is cartoonish.
