What it's about: Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is back in Philadelphia, where he witnesses a woman (Karen Kwong-Chip), kill herself on a subway car. He's hounded by police, federal agents and the CIA, who all think she slipped him something before she died. Our action hero gets drawn into a conspiracy that goes all the way to the very top. Season 4 adapts Lee Child’s "Gone Tomorrow," sending Reacher on a dangerous search for answers, and along the way, he’s forced to confront his guilt over the woman's fate that set everything in motion.Why you should watch it: This crime thriller delivers in all the ways you'd expect — and much of the credit goes to the perfectly cast Alan Ritchson, who kills it yet again.Stream "Reacher" on Prime Video now'Sterling Point'
