(ESP-ENG) Reacher - Serie Review - Season 2!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
If there is a place where the series are of a pretty good quality it would undoubtedly have to be Prime Video, we have seen it with The Terminal List and the first season of Reacher, I put them as an example because in terms of themes they are very similar. I remember when this story came out two years ago, in 2022, I did not know what to expect beyond the genre and everything that comes with it; once seen I was honestly very surprised because the level of the series was top plus the story is not that it has remained open but if it gave rise to a second season was possible. The suspicions were true and at the end of last year we saw the birth of the second part.
In this opportunity we continue to have Reacher (Alan Ritchson), this former special forces soldier who wanders the entire country without any belongings beyond a toothbrush. This time he is contacted by a former friend, one who belonged to an elite unit that many were once part of with the intention of investigating the murder of a former comrade under strange circumstances. As expected the feeling of brotherhood and attachment to his people is very great so without wasting time he begins to contact all his former unit to find out if they are in danger and thus seek to solve what is happening.
As they all get together, in parallel they are conducting the investigation to clarify what happened and find the culprits of the murders. As is to be expected in this type of plot, the more they investigate, the more the thread unravels and with it we realize that behind it all there is a monumental conspiracy involving national security, terrorism, politics, personal interests and money, lots of money. From here is when the plot gets good, actually from the first chapter we already know that it will be of quality, but as time goes by and things are discovered the adrenaline does not drop, on the contrary everything gets more vertiginous.
It is a story where action is the main protagonist, there will always be chases, exchanges of gunfire, explosions, melee fights; all the necessary ingredients to make this plot a very volatile and difficult to stop watching. The physical level of Ritcher is crazy, he is a guy who literally is a wall but what is surprising is that despite that the ability he has to do the scenes is brutal, a lot of agility and that makes these scenes are well achieved. Everything is within the credible range, there is nothing extraordinary that one considers fiction, given the training of all these people one thinks that everything is possible. Anyway, it's the typical story of military men seeking revenge.
Speaking of the plot itself, I have to say that I liked it a little more than the first installment because I feel that there is a stronger sense of brotherhood and family, that is, I saw it a little more human. It is known that military units are forever a family and that is very noticeable here, the unconditional support. Besides this, everything that has to do with the conspiracy was also good, nothing great, but at least personally I was entertained. Seeing how I was unlocking things, discovering the truths is something that hooks you. It's like a thriller full of police/military suspense that goes hand in hand with intrigue and, as I said, action. It is very unlikely that you will get bored watching the series, each episode ends with the need to watch the next one instantly.
As for the characters, the cast was very cool too. Besides Alan we have Dixon (Serinda Swan), Maria Sten (Neagley), Shaun Sipos (O'Donnell) and Robert Patrick (Langston) as the bad guy. The key in this type of series is that for me the chemistry that has to exist as a team is paramount, it has to be something that transcends the screen and I think this series in this season achieves it. I really liked the character of Maria Sten, she is like Reacher's right hand, a woman super capable of everything, reckless and always going forward. Serinda was also cool, she is like Reacher's ground wire, the weakness to say it another way, then this makes that despite being a killing machine she is shown as human. Actually the whole cast was normal, I have nothing bad to say.
In conclusion, a very good series that we already know that it will have a third season. The truth is that I liked the first one a lot but this second one pleased me a little more, I think I give it an 8.5/10. It has everything, good action, a plot that does not bore, you are always waiting, in short, it did not decline with respect to the first installment. It's on Prime Video, there are 8 chapters of 40-45 minutes approximately. Here is the trailer below.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!
I havent finish this season started watching it but as I was working into another project had to stop, I dont mind reading posts about it because I cant hide from the internet so I know already how it ends jejeje great series though, looking to finish this season
It is very good. Really, the two seasons have been very up to par despite being a very repetitive plot. I hope the third season will be even better.
