Jack Reacher sounds like a porn name.

I’m through episode 6. I like it, but I wish it was done more like the Jack Ryan series. It seems a little…I don’t know what the right word is, but it’s kinda cheesy. The writing, filming and (some of) the acting is a little cheesy, for lack of a better word. The Jack Ryan series holds the same quality as the books and movies do. The Jack Reacher movies, which were fine, except for Cruise being 5’5”, had better writing and acting, in my opinion. The filming was top notch. There’s just something missing from the series that I think would make it better, but I still like it and will continue watching it. I agree 💯, can’t wait for another Jack Ryan.

I can sum up the Reacher books for you to save you a ton of time
Big guy hitches a ride or comes into town on a bus.
Drinks a lot of coffee
Meets a girl - she's always gorgeous
For no reason, some people pick a fight with him - he kicks their rear
He buys some cloths because he doesn't like to wash
he uncovers an illegal operation and takes it down
He moves on to another town
JR
Yeah, that's pretty much what I got out of it. Meh......

Kept pretty true to the book, I listened to the Killing Floor on the way to Tampa last summer. It was my first experience with a Jack Reacher book, I thought the guy reading the audiobook was a water head..I guess that is just how Reacher is supposed to talk.

Well they used the Lords name in vain a few times, that always makes me cringe. Other than that it’s just a good action flick

Decent time waister. Makes me laugh at the critics expecting an academy award winning show.

Reacher was very good on amazon, better than the movies. However, it was hard to see that actor as someone other than Thad Castle (from Blue Mountain State)

More like a show such as Psych at times, instead of like Jack Ryan. Writing, acting and cinematography at times weren’t what I was expecting or hoping, but I still enjoyed the show a lot.
