Reacher’s “ambitious” third season lands perfect Rotten Tomatoes score

BBG News

Reacher season 3 has landed a 100% Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its release on Thursday (February 20).

In Lee Child’s seventh novel titled “Persuader,” the storyline revolves around Alan Ritchson’s character, a tough undercover operative. He delves into an illicit rug import business but uncovers a vast conspiracy instead. Notably, he encounters a colossal man, standing at 7 feet 2 inches tall and possessing even greater physical strength than him.

Currently, 16 critical reviews have been posted, each one expressing a favorable opinion. Generally speaking, the general sentiment is that the program maintains its winning approach by delivering unexpected plot twists, high-energy action sequences, and a lighthearted tone that avoids excessive seriousness.

Here’s what some of the reviews have said:

Empire – 3/5

The essential parts continue to be as appealing as before… In undoubtedly one of his defining roles, Ritchson still delivers exactly what you’d expect for a perfect portrayal of Child’s character. He manages to infuse the right dose of dry wit, coupled with the necessary physical strength.

IGN – 8/10

In the third season of Reacher, Susan Duffy emerges as an exceptionally strong supporting character, the action is intensely cathartic, and it continues to be a delightful, engaging experience for those who prefer their protagonists tough-as-nails and well-read, and their antagonists thoroughly defeated and utterly deceased.

ScreenRant

In Season 3, the narrative primarily revolves around Reacher once again, as he reunites his team from the 110th Special Investigators in Season 2. Following the broadened scope of Season 2, Season 3 seems to return to its fundamental roots. This season offers an engaging mix of the intimate atmosphere and feel of Season 1’s small-town setting, while still delivering the powerful and thrilling action sequences that characterized Season 2.

The Telegraph – 4/5

As I dive into the world of gaming, playing as Reacher, I’m reminded of an action-packed show that matches its hero’s steel-like biceps. It’s raw, brutal, and manly to the core, yet it manages to keep a touch of humor to avoid being too over-the-top. That’s what sets Reacher apart from other shows, like The Terminal List or The Night Agent, which seem to be in a constant state of seriousness. Reacher isn’t afraid to poke fun at itself and serves up an exhilarating rollercoaster ride with a playful nudge and a wink.

Empire – 4/5

In the third season of Reacher, the familiar formula is given a fresh twist that proves to be incredibly entertaining. Instead of just ticking off items like breaking bones and causing explosions, this time the character also reveals an unexpected aspect of himself – one we’ve never seen before as he continues his usual jogging spree.

In the upcoming weeks, starting from February 20th, Amazon Prime Video will debut the third season of “Reacher”. Fresh episodes will be released every week. Excitingly, a fourth season has been announced, and there’s even talk about a spin-off series in development!
