In 2022, Prime Video launched a crazy bet (a little) crazy: bet on a famous novel character, but whose codes would appear very archaic in the eyes of an audience, apparently, less demanding of this kind of production. Except that the streaming platform could count on two consecrated films which had already validated the popularity of the hero on the screen- Well helped by Tom Cruise in the title roleand the growing looting of works before France-Brazil in the World Cup final.
In short, Reacher is an ex-military of 1m91, carved like two American fridges, who intends to play the wrongs of wrongs thanks to his sense of observation, his intelligence and his 100 kilos of muscles-which helps greatly for straighten the wrongs. In appearance, a Good big regressive series Who wants to make the fists speak, as in the great time when Schwarzenegger and Stallone occupied the top of the box office. That’s good, as we are part of this generation which grew up with this kind of hero and we were curious to know if he still had his place in 2022.
Hero of another time
Three years later, Reache Reacher for a third season which proves that SVOD’s service was not wrong to invest in the character written by Lee Child and developed in series by Nick Santora. It must be said that The show was able to find its place By reclaiming the spirit of bodybuilded action cinema with what is self-mockery to create the lag.

Because Reacher is constantly seen as a relic that has neither home nor material goods, a lonely colossus moving only armed with his toothbrush. The series assumes the skewm of the character in the 21st century While dedicating a certain admiration to him. Where Tom Cruise was playing the ordinary type card that hides extraordinary skills, Alan Ritchson’s physique is a CV alone and we take pleasure in seeing extras trying direct confrontation with a result run in advance. This is what makes the charm of Reacher : and First degree spirit in the service of a second degree nag.
And this is where season 2 failed to show up at the level of the first, by adding to reacher his former team. Suddenly, the lonely hero worked in a group that looked like him, breaking the surreal dimension of the man and everything was unbalanced. Admittedly, the show kept undeniable qualities, but this intrigue arrived far too early in the history of the series for its own good, so it was necessary to save the furniture for season 3.
Reacher returns (almost) to the basics
With this season 3, the show continues to draw inspiration from Child books, but this time by choosing a red thread refocused on Reacher, like the first season. We find this mass of testosterone in the middle of more earth-to-terre characters, thus recreating the whimsical side of the series. Reacher investigation and his methods will bend the more conventional approaches of his new comrades. We are again in the assumed exaggeration And we like it.
Nevertheless, season 3 manages to mark its footprint with an intrigue that will place our eponymous hero in an infiltrated agent situation. Far from being content to adapt a story similar to the first seasons, the writers renew the context in order to differentiate each mission. This makes it possible not to know the story in advance since the environment requires the adaptability of the character and none of the seasons looks like the previous one, in good or bad. Everyone can thus have their preferences.
Especially in terms of galley, this new batch of episodes is strong since The ex-military literally never has time to resta problem succeeding with another. The series maintains its dynamics, and even if certain events can guess, we can’t wait to see them arrive …
Be careful, bad Paulie
What do we do when a colossus of 1.91 speaks? We listen to him? No, we put it in front of a 2m18 mountain for double corpulence. Fans of novels were waiting for him and it was a major promotional element of this season 3: Olivier Richters, alias Pauliea new antagonist more imposing than Alanchson, yet already a very beautiful size.
Because in the end, regardless of the intrigue or the revelations, we expected that a thing of this season: the confrontation of the two monsters. And we can say that the writers know how to raise the sauce around the subject so that when it happens, it is jubilation. Finally, we are simple people, Big fight between two ice cupboardsand our little heart beats. Damn sensitivity.
In the end, this third season of Reacher On Prime Video continues to develop the guy while keeping what made the qualities of the series, and its faults too. For those who are not a lover of this kind of Regressive show assumedshe will not reconcile you with the subject. But for the others, it remains a little recreational candy that we savor a smile on his lips. As for the undecided, it is time to get started!
