Fans looking for another thrilling action series after the final of ‘reacher’ should look no further than ‘luther’ staring Idris Elba.
“It was a very conscious homage on my part. In Killing Floor (the first book), I did an explicitly sherlock holmes thing where reacher says to finley the cop, ‘I see that you are divorced and you gave up smoking in April.” That was reacher deducing like Holmes. ”
Jack Reacher & Sherlock Holmes are more alike than you may think
Of Course, While Jack Reacher is also an Expert Investigator, this is often masked by the show-stopping muscles. But much like sherlock Holmes, if you look a little closer, you will notice that the character does use similar deductive skills to the great detective. Not only that, but putting things into Reverse, Holmes’ Action Prowess is often masked by his reputation as a Master Investigator. As Lee Child Explains …
“If you read the original conan doyle, Sherlock Holmes is a pretty violent fighter as well. He’s a street fighter. He is not just a brain. Same with reacher.”
Starring Alan Ritchson as the Former US Army Military Police Officer Turned Nomad Avenger, The First Season of Reacher Finds the character dragged back into action when he is arrested for murder. Based on the series of novels by Author Lee Child, Season 2 Finds the Heroic Wanderer on Another Mission after members of his old military unit start turning up dead. The third season, which wrapped up last month, is based on the seventh book in the series, “Persuader,” and Finds the character hurting into the dark heart of a stuck criminal enterprise when trying to rescue an undercover DEA informant while time is running out. There, he finds a world of secrecy and violence and confronts some unfinished business from his own past.
Taking the Sherlock Holmes Inspiration Even Further, The Final Moments of Reacher Season 3 See the hero throw down with his muscular nemesis Paulie in a watery battle reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes’ battle with his nemesis moriarty at Reichenbach in “The Final Problem.” While Paulie is no moriarty, the similar are hard to ignore, and while child neither confirms nor denies the resemblance, he does state, “I do really love sherlock Holmes.”
The Reacher Universe is all set to expand Beyond Season 3, with the main series having now been renewed for season 4, while a spin-off focusing on sten’s Frances Neakley, a private investigator in Jack Reacher’s Circle, is also now in the Works.
