Absolutement ‼️ Cruise is a good actor but he really does not 'fit the bill' Whoever decided on Cruise was a prat, but hey, they made money ... 🤨

Imagine finding a different talking point

@@joline2730 He originally bought the movie rights. What misbegotten ego. Reacher is NOT a munchkin.

And also,he never!ever! Has to not think fast!)

Exactly I've read the Jack reacher series Jack reacher is 6:45 255 lb in the movie Tom Cruise's but what 544 of buck-fifty

No it does not. You've never been in the military.

@@smollyboi Well, in the military I was in it was, maybe not the one you were in.

@@timehaley so former military personnel will do secret favours for each other "off the books". Sounds suspicious.

@@DavidHeffron78 Just a fact of life. Most of the time for the good of someone, though sadly, not always. Police do it, unions do it, teachers do it, politicians do it, friends do it, etc. etc. I know there's a lot of grey area in there. Still, it's a fact of life.

Amen brother. Exactly how the world works. I do it as well.

Ritchson brings a certain stoicism to the role that I couldn't really picture with Cruise. I've only ever read "Tripwire" from the books so that's all I'm basing my opinions on. Really hoping for a second season to drop.

Same here I am a long-time fan of Tom Cruise love his work as an actor and have seen both Reacher films before this series even started. I haven't read the books but I want to but given how well Alan Ritchson played Reacher his acting was done so well that it's literally impossible for me to go back and rewatch the Cruise versions of the character.

​@@KasbashPlaysthe 2nd season will be out either by the end of 23 or early 24. Like Feburary.

@@davidmancini8286 December.

@@KasbashPlays December

Yeh they played with camera angles and got him casted with short people, plus made some of the sets adjusted to make him look bigger. I think Alan Ritchson is about 6' 2" so not quite Reacher height but all the little tricks give him a similar physical presence. I think for example the scene where he is in the prison on the bed, they made the bed smaller so his legs stick out the end to make him look way bigger. It's very key to the stories, Reacher's size is always mentioned, people notice him immediately when he appears in a room etc. I hope in the next season they make him a little more rough, he is usually a bit disheveled entering towns having been on the road for a while and people often call him a vagabond or similar because of his rough and ready appearance.

​@@tajj7Yep, and they are also trying really really hard to replicate the books version of him... ​​ I think what's taking so long to make them, is because they are in a 3rd person narrative style... Or a 1st person account from Reacher himself... But in a video form, u cant replicate each and every one of Reacher's thought processes and conclusions... Maybe some of them, where he explains them to somebody, but mostly since he works alone, its absolutely difficult to replicate that exact systemic approach, and methodology that he follows... (Maybe they can show some monologue when he murmers in his head, but not all of it, otherwise it would be a disaster) I guess that's what made Sherlock Holmes so popular... Since he always had Dr. Watson with him, the ordinary reader could always appreciate the unique and sharp approach Sherlock took, and follow his line of reasoning, when he would explain everything to him... I think they are trying really hard to come up with support characters who help them do that... But also not to make Reacher boast about everything, and become a social person, since his alienation is what gives him his gritty persona... (That's why this scene isn't in the original book, but they created it, just so the readers could appreciate some of the missed monologue, and appreciate his peculiar personality)

​@@benjackson6260unfortunately I think the writers strike has more to do with why it is taking so long. Lost infamously was never the same quality as before the writers strike during its show run. Hopefully Reacher is an exception, they just have to remain faithful to the source material, that is what got them this far.

@@crispybatman480 time matter aside, u do get the narrative part right??? Retelling a story written in a first person account is a challenge... Its like making a movie on a autobiography... Where the author only wrote about himself, and his thoughts and his own perceptions/actions towards different situations... How can u replicate that when the protagonist no longer has that direct connection with the audience... Am I making sense??? 🙂

@@benjackson6260 Oh I certainly get that, these writers are putting on a case study for TV show book adaptations. I am just worried that much of that talent or nuance will be hindered by the strike. I will add, luckily video as a medium is very effective at making us feel empathy, and they can utilize the show don't tell method of visual storytelling to give us insight to inner dialogues etc. Not quite first person, but reading first person and watching an effective piece of visual storytelling with a quality actor give similar effects.

No, I think he did a Jedi mind trick since he called him "Sergeant" and there's literally nothing on him to identify him as a sergeant and then suddenly he believes him. Kind of goofy when you think about it.

@@RElover22 He's a police sergeant, and a military lieutenant. He has his police rank on his uniform. Reacher addressed him by his police rank first, then when he confirms he's military addresses him by his military rank.

@@quiquagmc955 where's the rank????

@@RElover22 the badge. in the NYPD a gold shield with an eagle denotes Sergeant.

@@quiquagmc955 A lot of departments or security companies use a gold badge to represent ranks but they also have chevrons on the shoulder or chevrons on their collars. I guess NYPD does things differently.

Absolutely true.. my cousin is a former Marine and he can tell you within a few seconds if someone was former military. He never says "ex" though.. like "ex Army" or "ex Marine"... because the only time you are an "ex Marine" is when you are dishonorably discharged... or dead.

@@srhatfield pretty sure they are still Marines even when dead. In my corps, we say "they went forward". No one thinks of them as ex-es. It's a step we'll all take, sooner or later. They took it sooner.

Marines don't die. They go to hell and regroup.@@srhatfield

@@kulgreah My cousin says "Can confirm!" 😁

That sir, yes sir didn't sound Army.

26 episode runs were kind of why TV was crap back in the day. Having to stretch a narrative over 26 runs resulted in A LOT of unnecessary filler. Having the freedom to do 8 - 13 (or a couple more if you need it) produces far more qualitative television, on average.

No shows took good advantage of it?

22-26 episodes worked great for original and classic era star trek, each episode had a start, a middle and an end.. They were basically 22-26 episode mini movies with the odd 2 parters thrown in here and there. But if you look at current era star trek, where they try and do a giant 12 hour film, it's a travesty.. The only story lines that would warrant such massive run times (according to Hollywood) is galaxy and universe ending plots.. If they tried to do something like that for reacher, it would end up being something silly that would require going to 30 countries and stop every terrorist setting off nukes and stealing submarines.. Though, what would be nice, is them not taking years and years to come out with another season.

i'd argue 24 did @@ozoak

@@ColinRichardson Nah... monster-of-the-week style stuff (XFiles, Star Trek, Stargate) with only an episode or two per season for the real 'arc' is a different style again. If you want monster of the week Reacher, you're in it for something very different than I was !

Came here to comment abt this😅

Not well written at all. "Sir, yes Sir" is Marines, not Army. And an Army lieutenant would never say, "Sir, yes Sir" to a major. He would say "Yes, Sir!" and that would be the end of it.

That's all he embodies unfortunately

@@laurafabianmarrero I don't think you know what that word means...

This fall sometime.

Coming this December. Don’t know the exact date, but sometime soon tho

@@jacobleitao4151 glad they got it all filmed the strike.

@@baskervillebee6097 *probably. we don't know if there'll be reshoots. Filming wrapped in february, but if production wasn't wrapped until after may, it might have been affected by the writer's strike. That being said, it's pretty unlikely that it will have been.

What strike?

You dont have to be a lawyer to represent someone.

@@sugarnads To provide legal counsel or advice? You absolutely do. There is a reason even actual BAR licensed attorneys still make a point to say that they are not providing legal advice when talking about things on youtube or in a private capacity. You can be part of the staff representing someone without being a lawyer, but you won't be able to present arguments in court or attempt to give legal advice to someone.

@@sugarnads right, but the title of the video is "Jack Reacher as a lawyer"

@@ShaggyRogers1 right, but you can still offer non legal counsel without a legal degree. Such as a social worker or an agent, neither of which requires passing the bar. That being said, if you pass yourself off this way and get caught, it's not you whose going to get into trouble. It's the sergeant, unless you're a social worker.

@@LoudAngryJerk So... You are being pedantic without acknowledging that the other people in the comment chain specifically say "lawyer". I'm the only person pointing out that the relevant lawyers to be in the room would be legal counsel. Social workers and "agents" cannot "represent" anyone in court.

Season 2 should be out by Feburary 2024.

@@davidmancini8286 with th strikes it will probably be pushed back

@@giannisdrou1199 I'm pretty sure it's already been filmed and most of the post production is finished so the only thing holding it back is Prime and that has nothing to do with the strike and Prime will release it when they think it will get the most viewership. Just going by what I read I wish I had the link to prove it but I don't so we will see.

Google says it drops December 2023

You know you can watch it for free..

December 2023

Effin better be. I'm booking Christmas off to watch this if I have to.

After the strike

There is a writer strike. And while I really like this show. We shouldn’t be too eager for the activists to be writing again.

What about his age is a problem? Jack Reacher is 37 in the first book, and Alan Ritchson was 38 when he filmed this season.

@@TomDestry I can't remember if that is true, however what book is the first series based on? It ain't the first one. Stop creating arguments. At the stage of that book, we had been with Reacher for a while and have seen injuries along the way.

@@kanedaku You've got the whole Internet to fill in the gaps in your knowledge, yet you still want to crap on me rather than address your own ignorance.

@@TomDestry ha! What a great attempt at deflection. I'm not the one questioning his age, you were, and technically still are. Why am I going to -do- research anything when I'm correct in *MY* opinion? I stated something, you disagreed, and you want ME to (impossibly) prove that you're correct? GTFO boy.

@@kanedaku OK, you tedious nob goblet, let me spell it out for you... Book one: Killing Floor: THE FIRST NOVEL IN LEE CHILD'S #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING JACK REACHER SERIES-NOW AN ORIGINAL SERIES ON PRIME VIDEO! “From its jolting opening scene to its fiery final confrontation, Killing Floor is irresistible.”-People Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

It's NYC, there are a lot of places that are repurposed like that.
