Season 1 is awesome. I didn't read the book ahead of watching this so this only caught my eye after reading reviews from my buddies, and I was not disappointed.
The cast is brilliant. I only just started to listen to the audio book and the raw nature of the book is perfectly reflected in the series (for what I can tell so far). The leading trio works together great. Ritchson as terminator like figure, Goodwin as try hard good doer cop and Fitzgerald who just wants to save her hometown. Adding some decent acting on the villain side, it is a nice packed story to tell in 8 episodes.
Sure, nothing is perfect, some of the encounters look silly but well, overall it is awesome. I am glad they did not overuse flashbacks to provide some explanations of motivation for Reacher, just a nice touch.
I appreciate there basically isn't any completely dull sequence that would turn you away. Which is nice in the modern era of story telling.
