Review: Neagley is a worthy spinoff to megahit Reacher

Prime Video has expanded its popular Reacher universe with the release of Neagley, a new spinoff series focusing on the fan-favorite character Frances Neagley. Played by Maria Sten, Neagley transitions from her role as Jack Reacher’s loyal ally to the lead of her own investigative narrative. The series maintains the addictive, action-oriented formula that made the original show a success, while successfully carving out a distinct identity for its protagonist. Although the show features some uneven pacing, it remains a compelling addition to the streaming platform's library. The series premiere includes a brief cameo by Alan Ritchson, who reprises his role as Jack Reacher to help establish the connection between the two shows. Overall, Neagley serves as a solid expansion of the franchise, offering viewers more of the high-stakes, character-driven drama they have come to expect from the Reacher universe.
