When: Now, new episodes weekly
Genre: Drama
Why you should watch: If the dude from Letterkenny starred in a new series as a bad ass ex-military cop with the body of The Hulk, this would be that show. If we seek stability – sameness? – in these troubled times, this somewhat formulaic offering might fit the bill. It’s a classic trope; a silent, mysterious, huge, muscular, chiseled stranger with an unknown past shows up out of nowhere in a small southern American town, not looking for trouble but, trouble finds him. A gal with a heart of gold is drawn to this misunderstood mountain man and she sees goodness there. Sure, he beats the livin shit out of strangers but, only when they really really deserve it. The only thing earth shaking about this show might be the ground when Reacher walks upon it but, there’s mystery and a few sardonic laughs in this somewhat satisfying diversion.
