- “Reacher”, the new Amazon Prime adaptation of Lee Child’s wildly popular Jack Reacher book series, launches today. Denver7’s Shannon Ogden, who has read all 26 Jack Reacher novels, interviewed Child about bringing his iconic, homeless hero to television.
Really great casting, Ritchson is amazing. Binged the lot in one sitting and can't wait for season 2!
Check out Alan Ritchsons in depth interview about Reacher and his career on" Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum" also on UA-cam. 😄

Bring on Season 2
He'd be even better if he could act. But at least they changed the moronic .22 in the first chapter to a 9mm. It's hard to take a writer seriously who knows less about handguns that the average five year old, and who is too lazy or too dumb to do five minutes of research on the subject.
Fortunately for him, the world is full of equally stupid people who make perfect fans for bad acting and bad writing.
One thing that struck me is that Reacher can find clothes that fit in Thrift Stores and donation bins.
👏👏👏👏👏
Without Cruise’s adaptation, I would not have picked up the books. While his stature may not mate the written page, he succeeded in making me a Reacher fan.
Books are much better than Cruise's movies. I'm a Reacher fan since the very first book, more than 2 decades ago. Anyway not only the stature is wrong, Cruise's Reacher doesn't have the right wit, his quiet sarcasm, his subtle sense of humor and readiness.
If you read the books you’d see Tom was absolutly
I 100% agree.... TC introduced my to Jack Reacher... they are fun movies, but the series is phenomenal
Without a doubt TC is a much better actor than the new guy, but that goes without saying. I think the point is, do you enjoy the new series ? I'm still on the fence at the moment.
As much as I like watching Tom Cruise movies, seeing him in the part of Jack Reacher looked like a huge sell out, how can someone his size walk into a bar full of Special Services personnel and intimidate them, farcical to say the least. Alan Ritchson however fits the part perfectly.
After years of reading “Reacher” stories in Lee Child’s books, finally an actor who can play this role well! Watched the series on Prime with relish, and I hope there will be more series to come as there are plenty to choose from. Please make more
Same as everyone else watched all in one day, loved it. Definitely need more, Ritchson is awesome as Reacher
If they do a movie every year to match Lee's books I'll never see them, I'm 73 now but will be dust in the wind. I enjoyed the 2 movies with Cruise but this last one was incredible. Alan is Reacher. Keep them coming and fast.
Loved the " reacher " season! Awaiting the next one!
Reacher was perfectly cast 🙃❤
This! This is what/who Jack Reacher should be! Absolutely loved every minute of it! Brilliant casting, great acting and Lee Child's books are always an amazing story! Can't wait for season 2, 3, 4, 5....
Hope they get around to filming Persuader. One of my favourites.
I used to just picture LeeChilds's face as the Face of Jack Reacher... quietly adding a few pounds of course...lol
As seeing several interviews where he bemoaned selling the rights to Hollywood and not having a say in the casting of Reacher...
So now it a glorious day with the new series, which I hungrily binged in one sitting.
Couldn't be happier and can't wait for the next season. 👍😉♥️
Finally! Everything I wanted in an adaptation of a beloved character.
I binged it twice. I love the character and Alan Ritchson is perfectly cast. I wasn’t certain that someone with his stature would have the speed and agility but he executes without hesitation. His body is a weapon of mass destruction and a weapon of mass distraction 😍 I love how hell bent he is on making things right yet is full of compassion. The chemistry between Reacher and Roscoe was brilliant in how she was able to draw him out. He was okay showing his vulnerabilities with her. I will be tuning in for the rest of them …. Keep them coming!!!
Nice interview. I was shocked when I found out years ago that Lee Child was a Brit. He writes what seems to me a quintessentially American character. It’s quite an achievement.
Lee child loves america, and been living in America quite sometime, or visit america many times, that’s probably why he created his story in America, I was shocked too when I found out he was Brit.
Thank you Mr. Child for creating this character and this world to be enjoyed and appreciated! The series was excellent and just a great watch! All the best and looking forward to seeing more season brought to the screen! Kudos on the cameo! 👏😀
Great casting, finally 😉
You “made” me binge it and that’s the best compliment I can give. Bravo!
As an author, Lee Child must be so happy that he was given the means and the talent to see this for himself. I've waited years and it was amazing. Can't wait to finish the season and all the seasons coming!
Reacher was so well done. Looking forward to season 2
The Sherlock/Eastwood parallels are spot on. 'Think I'll stick around for a while...' (sic)
Binged the whole season in a day also and started the books right away. Outstanding all the way around.
Yeah, if you're an idiot. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature would have stopped reading when Reacher's brother was shot in the back of the head with a suppressed .22, NOT a silencer, a Suppressor, and it blew his face off. You have to be dumber than a screen door on a submarine to write that, and even dumber to read past it.
@@jamesaritchie1 dude, what is eating you up inside that just requires you to come take a dump on these comments?
Ritchson was perfect casting. Can't wait for season 2.
I love Mr. Child's characterization of the bass. It truly does hold the band together. I'd also love to see more seasons of Reacher, please! First season was so well done.
A whole season is perfect because, in reality, these ‘action’ novels are actually 95% inaction then an explosive ending. That’s the beauty of it.
Not including Brad Thor’s novels though….
That's beauty for children too stupid to like anthing more adult than a comic book. Pretty much a failure at life, aren't you?
Awesome just awesome congratulations to everyone involved
You know it's good when you have the creator on board with production.
Executive producer
That is a very stupid statement.
Dear Mr. Child,
I’ve read all the Reacher books and an thrilled with the first Reacher season on Amazon. Glad you chose your first book. I particularly appreciated the way Reacher’s family and upbringing was so well done ! I understood it better than in the books! Can’t wait for the next season.
What percentage of Reacher season 1 was accurate to the The Killing Floor book?
All in one go. Great actors and Ritchson is wonderful.
Please, please, please, Mr. Child, make another 25 seasons for all of Reacher's fans. I'm sure every fan will die happy having watched Alan Ritchson play Reacher for every book and, therefore, season.
Lee Childe is hands down my favorite author in this genre. I love the show and hope it goes on at least 25 seasons. I just hope I live that long.
The casting is great, I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for the endless hours of entertainment both reading and watching.
Thank God finally someone with very intelligent and entertaining content. Besides that he play the bass and got good music taste. Looking forward for the next season.
Great to see and hear the write whose books I have enjoyed since the first page. I watched the season - awestruck at the grip it held
Give me a Reacher book and the house can burn down and I would not notice.
Great interview. Thank you.
I loved this series! Waiting for more!
Y’all!! It’s really good! I literally watched the first season in one freakin day!! I loved the movies and now this !!!! It’s a really good show 🥰
My wife and I watched the complete series in one afternoon- evening. Can’t wait for the next series. I also read all the Reacher books over the years. Great reads as well
as a long time fan i am delighted with this series.
Confession. I've read your books. I was never in a rush to see the movies but I did see them. Yesterday I binged the Amazon series. Thank you. Thank you. Please use this opportunity to have a season 2 and 3 and . . . . . .
I enjoyed it. Binged it over two days. Well done.
I think this format is the better way to tell a story: one season, one book. Period. New season, new story. So sick and tired of waiting years for a story to come to an end-if they do not cancel the series before that.
Ritchson was born to play Reacher. Straight out if central casting.
Watch this show rn. It was absolutely AMAZING
Love all the books and binge watched the series its brilliant 👏
Watching the first movie, I thought to myself how much better this could be if it were adapted to a series. Like a dream come true.
It was great. Please do more.
Good interview, thanks for that.
enjoyed the series a lot.
the only issue I had was reacher walk.
he's not only ex military, he also literally walks all over America.
Ritchsons gait is all off for a person who has been marching for most of his life.
he needs to lengthen his stride and drive off the ball of his foot more.
Lee was born to write Reacher novels and Alan was born to play him .
Alan is pretty. Jack shouldn't be. Otherwise great.
Just watched first series, fantastic just like the book, and Reacher is what he should be, Big, nasty, and one tough bastard. There has got to be more series, 🙏
percentage wise, how accurate was the show to the book Killing Floor?
"...your buddys are gonna have to haul your fat ass out of here in a bucket." Then, 3 sharp, hard elbows to the jaw. That instantly made my deadlift jump by 40lbs.
AWESOME!
WATCHED ALL IN ONE DAY.
GOT ON MY "WAITING BRITCHES" , HOPING FOR YRS OF REACHER!!!!!!
Pat in Ga
I’ve watched REACHER twice now and looking forward to the next series. 👍🏻😍🥰
omigosh. I enjoyed this series so much. casting was spot on, imo.
Awesome interview.
Read all the books and entranced by the Amazon series. Perfect casting too.
My husband and I binged Watched the whole season of Reacher! Can’t wait for the next!
Yes, let's please have a season per book...as a Reacher books fan this is as close as you're going to get to putting words on the page to those same words on the screen.
percentage wise, how accurate was the show to the book Killing Floor?
I’ve read every book and they did a great job casting for the part.
Can't wait for season 2, Ritchson is perfect in the role.
The series is superb.Hope we don't have a long wait for S2.
Great show and books....I have them all.
I have watched the whole season but want to go back and watch again. I live in Fort Collins and agree that this place is the greatest.
Best series I've seen in years! Great interview with interesting and original questions, which is much appreciated👍Really hope you get to meet your demise in a work of fiction some day! you definitely do have a pretty good character name! 😄👍 Thanks for the interview guys.
Thank you for casting someone that fits how I pictured Reacher to be. Binge watched entire series in 2 nights. Now I’m thinking I’ve nothing to watch. So hoping you have lots more waiting to be released
Haven't seen the series yet but I've read every book and I love it
Holy Crap, it's Shannon Ogden....we miss you back in Jacksonville. Good interview!
Waiting on the next one!
Went to school in Fort Collins. I concur that it's an amazing place to live.
Hope they make all the books for sure
Love this show and Alan is perfect!
I have not read the books, yet, but I REALLY enjoyed the Amazon Reacher series. It really stands out amongst much of the marginal content currently being produced. It is a great story, that is well told and well acted. It really comes through that people cared about producing a great show. The cast were awesome and I found their performances really engaging. I am really looking forward to the next season.
I hadn't read a book from cover to cover since i was 11 thanks to a Yorkshire education system . I took some time out in the middle of no where and a book was on the shelf. I was totally captivated. Watched the two Tom Cruise films and nope OKish but it wasn't him. I have started to watch the Amazon series and i can honestly say that the series is how it should have been done. It shows the details of the character. I can happily say what i have watched so far has exceeded expectations. The series tick every box and Reacher's face says what the character is thinking. Good look with the next 25 series lol
Just binged the first season,absolutely brilliant,just like the books,looking forward to the next season,is Lee going to do a Stan Lee and have a cameo in all of the seasons cos we will all be watching for him now
Lee got it right on the reasoning mind of Reacher, he truly is like Sherlock Holmes. His mind works so fast, and he sees EVERYTHING. We agree that it was good to start the series with the first book, it's so good there is no reason to not do them all.
Another round of millions for Lee Child.
Best show on Amazon!!!
I wonder how much the book sales have spiked after this series? When I first heard about this going to be made I was so happy, then I forgot about it. Then one day I noticed it had been released and I was overjoyed!
I really liked the series and I like Alan Ritchson as Reacher. It was a marathon leaving me wanting more. Reacher doesn't disappoint and I love the relationship between him and Roscoe. It's the usual kick-butt and take no names action that I Iove. Can't wait for Season 2!
Great interview. Not much left of the Brummie accent in Lee. Loved S1 of Reacher, here's to many more.
What an amazing series Lee...Your Reacher character has been perfectly captured by Alan Ritchson. Thank you so much for your books, they have given me hours and hours of 'edge of the seat' reading. And now...they're being reproduced on the screen. Wow! Love it!
Fantastic job.
Loved the cameo
Good interview - kudos to the journalist. Ritchson is a wonderful choice.
They chose a great actor. Looks exactly how the books describe him.
the actor on the Amazon series is perfect!
Thank you
It is the truest movie from book. I love it.
Alan He's a good actor and I enjoyed watching Reacher.+ He's a very handsome guy
Fabulous. ❤️
Bang on brothers. Loved it - can't wait for more. Perfect in almost every way. Ritchson is PERFECT. Binged entire season on the first night. Of course - Killing Floor is Howlin Wolf.
Looking forward to season two
1st dialogue of Reacher and I got the Sherlock inspiration
BRAVO.....BRAVO.....BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have read and reread all the books, seen the Tom Cruise movies multiple times and have now watched the series twice already. Looking forward to the next and the next after that. And yes I recognized Mr. Child in the restaurant immediately.
If you like what Colorado has become, you are the reason I felt compelled to move from that state. It is heartbreaking what Colorado has turned into over the the last 10-15 years
What has it turned into?
@@sedg03 overrun with people
Love the last diner scene as Lee childs pass Reacher walking out... outstanding!
OK - 25 more coming - Yes Please!
Well, you couldn't have done Reacher or the Killing Floor any better. Saw it on Prime and thought 'give it a miss'! Took one look at Alan and thought 'ok! Let's give it a go'! 8 hours later, 3am on a Monday morning and thought 'You smashed it'! Absolutely brilliant! I hope that we do get another 24 series. Killing Floor is one of my favourites.
Bravo.
Good new series and great casting. The books are great and this series captures that. What is it about English men and the Blues--guess they have good taste! I had picked up the Sherlock Holmes. Every now and then all of us should go back and read the entire canon of Holmes every in just to remember the incredible impact fiction can have on culture. Lee Child created an original character in Reacher. Reacher is enormous, smart, and damaged, BTW, he is so right about Ft. Colins. I visited there for work and just fell in love with the town. It felt like home, and had so many attractive features.
I am six feet tall, and not too ugly. My older brother, however, is six foot four, massively developed, and incredibly handsome. When I would bring my girl friends from college to see him - he was an archeologist who also trained military in the jungle - the girls I hoped would fall in love with me would look at my older brother, than at me, and say, with disdain, "What happened to you...." "Six feet tall" suddenly felt really really small.
While watching this show, which I really enjoyed, I often felt like I was looking at my brother. If I have one complaint, it's that this actor is maybe 'too pretty'. Like Megan Fox, when she steps out from a fight with the Transformers without one bit of her make-up smeared, as much as I liked this actor, and I really did, he was a little too perfect. Just like my older brother. Can you tell I have issues?
There’s 25 more... 25 more seasons.....
YES! ABSOLUTELY!
If you can do it this well in the future, that would be fire.
Great, that's one season for every IQ point you hav.
