Seven Prime Video Action-Thrillers Better Than Reacher

Reacher arrived as a hit, with Alan Ritchson embodying Jack Reacher and Prime Video keeping the pulpy soul of Lee Child’s work while giving the show room to breathe. What began like a freight train in Season 1, and stayed compelling through Season 2 and Season 3, made Reacher one of the streamer’s most reliable, most rewatchable action properties.

If Reacher sent you digging through Prime Video’s catalog, you’ll find several series that push the genre in other directions. Invincible turns a familiar animated-superhero setup into something devastating, using a shocking early twist to explore inherited violence and legacy, with J.K.

Simmons as a memorably conflicted Omni-Man and brutal fight sequences throughout. The Boys pairs outrageous, violent satire with a tight thriller framework of corporate conspiracies, covert missions, and moral ambiguity, anchored by Antony Starr alongside Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, and Jensen Ackles.
