I have watched the first too, fair warning the violence is pretty brutal as per the novels, reminds me of Banshee. High hopes for this and feel Alan Ritchson deserves this to be a big hit, he is a great fit for the role.

Excited to watch, although I am an avid fan of the books so I might be a bigger critic, or it might surprise me!

I enjoyed Banshee.

I watched the first episode of Reacher the other night and enjoyed it. I haven't read the books but my hubby has read them all. He flat out refused to watch the movie with Tom Cruise saying it was the most ridiculous, arrogant piece of casting ever.

I’ve watched the first episode and don’t know the guy who plays Reacher but I find he has just got one brooding look and it doesn’t seem a natural fit. Saying all that I think the cast and story so far are great and will definitely be watching the rest. Maybe the guy playing Reacher will grow on me!

Just finished E2 and I'm enjoying it.

There is an advantage to having not read the books in that I take it at face value. I also noticed that Lee Child is executive producer so that should please book fans.

So damn good, and exactly how he is written in the books (unlike Tom Cruise)
Highly recommend, and even if you know nothing about it, you can just jump right in

I only ever read one book, a stupid number like 16, and it was super boring. The whole book played out in a diner. But I guess if you had read the serious and bew the character you might have enjoyed it.

So for mw the series is great because I have a really bad reference point

I loved this. Alan isn't the best actor but he has the part down perfectly. They're making them in order and this was the 2nd book I read but the first one published. Its a bit cheesy but so entertaining and he is gorgeous. Hope they film more.

Surprised how much I enjoyed this! Binged the lot over the weekend. Really well-written, acted and paced. I've never read the books but I did enjoy the first Tom Cruise movie.

Yay.

On episode 5 and loving it!
Got distracted and ended up leaving a week between 4 and 5 as watching Pam and Tommy

I gave up afrer e2. The guy playing Reacher has the acting ability of a plank of wood and it puts me off.
My OH is still really invested

In fairness that's the character. He does relax a bit as the episodes go on, its very authentic to the books.

Same here. Crock of tit. Turned it off as he walked around making assumptions based on nothing

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Finished it last night. Really, really enjoyed it.

What is a shame with Reacher is that we know he moves around so there won't be the continuation of characters like you would get in a normal series. The only regular will be Reacher.

 

[Mark81]

Loving this. Yes Reacher isn't the strongest actor, but he gets away with it and gets better as the series goes on. Everything else is so strong it can be forgiven. Especially compared to the travesty that was Tom Cruise movie adaptions.

I didn't think it was that violent though, or maybe I'm just desensitised to it

Spoiler

did anyone else think the fire in the warehouse at the end of final episode looked fake/cgi?

He (the actor) did an AMA on reddit a little while ago, and came across as a really nice guy, and took the piss out of himself - I hadn't twigged he was the micro-penis guy from New Girl. I've read the books, and he looks much more like Reacher than Tom Cruise, so I hope it's good.
