Amazon Prime has a new SMASH on its hands!
From the day AMAZON PRIME VIDEO went live with the new series REACHER, I'd been hearing chatter about the series.
One colleague couldn't get enough of the 'tasty' 'snack' lead character, Jack Reacher, who is brought to life by Alan Ritchson. Another talked about the genuine chemistry the cast of the series seemed to have. Another still talked about the 'snack' of the easy on the eyes Ritchson - and the storytelling of Lee Childs, who turned Jack Reacher into a billion-dollar literary franchise prior to any movies or series were made.
I was intrigued. And so I watched.
And watched.
And watched.
This show is great. It follows the exploits of a former Military Police officer (Reacher) who ends up arrested for a crime he didn't commit, and then finds himself pulled in the dark, confusing, murky world of underground crime and whatnot. It's an adult show, for sure, and I'd even say it leans in the direction of great action films with a dose of drama and some comedy mixed in.
Reacher is the perfect escape from the overwhelming state of things lately. For me, it was therapy.
So, here's my chat with Ritchson and Childs you heard a bit about... and I'd encourage you to check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
Thanks to Amazon Prime and Allied Global!
