Reacher

 

                 A show that me and my brother started watching, I believe back in November of last year and this is most certainly one of those shows that I believe is a love letter to all those 80's cheesy action movies that we've all grown up and loved over the years. A lot of you are probably familiar with the show Reacher, me I only heard about the Tom Cruise movies to the point where I didn't really care because I wasn't really wanting to waste my time with Ritalin crazed Cruise man. But then again, it was one of those times where me and my brother had this thing where we both watch one television show together from start to finish and surprisingly enough it's not too bad.

                Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is a former U.S. Army Military Police Major, who prefers to live as a drifter, traveling from town to town across the United States. Though everywhere he turns trouble seems to be coming to him or trouble doesn't know what they’re dealing with.

                Watching this show I'll admit did kind of make me laugh in a sense of the choice of actor, because Alan Ritchson in case you haven't seen the former Spike TV show Blue Mountain State, Ritchson plays the linebacker whose insanely dumb (maybe gay?) at times the obnoxious bro but his infamous shouting of GET OUT! aka screaming like a girl, is what haunts my dreams as well as every time I see him or watch him on the big screen. Sure, I can accept the guy is turning himself into a different person as well as getting a wider known role instead of Blue Mountain State but deep down just watching the guy doesn't go away in terms of this being the same guy who obnoxiously screams like a girl. Though in the end this show is impressive especially Ritchson as an actor despite him taking his shirt off constantly because all the ladies have to see this guy without a shirt, though I wish we can have more women taking their shirts off, just me personally. I don't know what the best way to describe the movie other than this is a show about a man with an unknown background but is an unstoppable wrecking machine, I mean basically all the cheesy action movies you love from films like any Arnold movie, Chuck Norris film or even a Sylvester Stallone flick where the entire film is just a predictable storyline from the first episode to the final episode, and you know that the character of Reacher is going to kick these bad guys a**s like there's know counting on that but it's really the story as well as each episode is what makes it worth seeing. I will say the entertaining part about watching the show is the predictable sex scenes they have with each season granted season 1 only has one but, when we get to like season 2 then I was literally on the edge of my seat, screaming and wanting Reacher and his love interest to start hitting the slow saxophone music, because I just knew it was going to happen and of course me, when they do it I'm just screaming "yes" as if I just won a bet, I mean basically it brings back to all of those years of me being forced to witness any Grey's Anatomy show or any Soap Opera show on ABC, so either way I do feel proud of myself in the end. I've never read any of Lee Child's book series of Jack Reacher but as a show by itself I would most certainly recommend watching the show from season one to the upcoming season three, I mean it has all those great elements on what makes a great action show but most importantly it does have tribute feel to all those 80's action movies as well as predictable sex scenes for which I hope in season three that we have a three way with season one love interest and season two love interest that's defiantly what I'm hoping would happen and if not that's fine I'm not worried.
