Reacher Season 1 Review and Summary

Blind Blake

Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson, is in Margrave, Georgia looking for more information about a Blues singer Blind Blake. He is interested in knowing all there is to know about Blake since it is rumored that Blake died in Margrave and was a frequent visitor of the town. Reacher, however, is quickly arrested as on the path he was walking to town, a dead body is found.

Roscoe and Finlay

On being arrested, Reacher comes across Officer Roscoe Conklin, played by Willa Fitzgerald, and her boss Oscar Finlay, played by Malcolm Goodwin. Finlay is the Chief Detective of Margrave Police. There are also officers Stevenson and Baker in Margrave Police and their boss Chief of Police Morrison. Reacher is arrested and detained while the officers check out his alibi.

Paul Hubble

When Finlay and Roscoe take Reacher to Paul Hubble's to investigate, Paul Hubble, played by Marc Bendavid, who is a banker confesses to the murder. He straight up says that he's the one who did it and seemingly out of fear, insists that he did it, even when he's unknowingly prompted with false details about the murder. Hubble and Reacher are sent to the area prison for remand, where things get a bit interesting.

A Hit Gone Wrong

In prison, Reacher and Hubble are taken in by an officer, Spivey. Spivey puts them in the general population instead of the routine remand awaiting arraignment to court. There, Hubble and Reacher quickly realize that they are targets. In a bullying trial gone wrong, Hubble's glasses are wrecked and Reacher beats the bullies to a pulp and takes their glasses.
