"Reacher" Amazon Prime, notes by Bill Russo,

OK - How good is the new "Reacher" series on Amazon Prime?

Well first off, thankfully it DOES NOT HAVE Tom Cruise in it, so it automatically has to be better than the two dismal Hollywood films based on Lee Child's Jack Reacher character.

It stars Alan Ritchson as the 6 foot 5 Reacher. Ritchson is only 6-two, but he plays the bigger Reacher to a "P" (for Perfection), and he can act.

The eight-episode series dropped on Feb 4, 2022, and has been renewed for a second season.

Season One is based on Lee Child's Debut novel, the Killing Floor. It features a Harvard educated cop from Boston as the chief detective in a small town in the Deep South where Reacher goes to learn about the fabled Blues singer from the 1930s, Blind Blake.

On a 1 to 5 star system - I give it a 4
