What is Amazon Prime's Reacher about?
Reacher is a sensational and much anticipated new thriller that successfully and faithfully cracks Jack Reacher for those fond of character in print or films to date. Starring Alan Ritchson, Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald, Bruce McGill, Maria Sten, Kristin Kreuk, Currie Graham and more, the first season introduces the towering, loner savant detective who seems to be a magnet for trouble in any town he strolls into. The eponymous Reacher is based on the first Jack Reacher book Killing Floor, by best-selling author Lee Child.
The first season begins when Jack Reacher (Ritchson), a retired Military Police detective, is arrested on suspicion of murder in Margrave, Georgia's sleepy, working-class town. When Chief Detective Finlay (Goodwin) clears him of perpetrating the crime, Reacher offers to assist Finlay and Roscoe (Fitzgerald) to untangle a web of crooked cops, deceitful corporations, and political conspiracy with nothing but cunning and immense brawn. After the mixed critical and commercial response to the Tom Cruise starring Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, let's hope that this phenomenal new thriller series can bring more of the hugely popular book series to our streams.
You can watch the first series of Reacher as of February 4, 2022, on Prime Video.
