Our Take On Reacher’s Success
It Travels Well
Even thoughReachermay somewhat dip in popularity as it continues, which is a risk that happens to aging shows, it looks to hold a strong viewership outside the U.S. That may speak to the fact that action is a kind of universal cinematic language. The show itself, an arguable throwback to the simple action movies of the 1980s and 1990s, isn’t hard to buy into. You know what you’re getting, even if you might wish it was a little stronger or different in some areas, and there’s a definite comfort in that.
