Ok, been a Reacher fan for YEARS. Ritchson does a great job in the role but is he the “perfect” match for the character? No. That IS ok though, really, it is. The story and the acting are solid. And then episode 7 comes along and ruins it (for me and thus only gets 4 stars) because they do the SAME THING other dumb a** shows do: they set a precedent and then go against it in the most IGNORANT way. Here’s this big guy who is beating his way through bad guys and then (SPOILER ALERT) episode 7 comes along and some scrawny little loudmouth punk who is HALF HIS SIZE gets “the drop on him” and a big fight ensues where he “barely” is able to finally defeat the kid. Again, this is a personal dislike for me because of the precedent set in the series so far. This guy is stomping BIG GUYS in a matter of seconds and this, seemingly, 5’8”, 160pd, scrawny punk kid puts a huge beating on him and knocks him out?!? So stupid. It would have been a much better scene if they would have made it where Reacher gets to put a good hurt on him before he kills him because he has been a punk the past few episodes, with a loud mouth, who deserved it. Anyway, other than that I’ve enjoyed it but that’s why I only gave it 4 stars.
