Reacher TV Series Follow-Up Receives Mixed Rotten Tomatoes Rating
Alan Ritchson has been a hit as Jack Reacher on Prime Video, with the show already renewed for a fourth season and earning an impressive 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The Lee Child book-based series continues to draw in fans with its thrilling episodes.
In an effort to keep the momentum going, Prime Video rolled out “Butterfly” after the Reacher success. However, the spy thriller didn’t quite hit the mark with critics, landing a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after its premiere on Aug. 13. Maybe it just needs more time for viewers to catch on and spread the word.
Reviews have been mixed, with Variety noting that while the show has potential, it leans more toward flashy entertainment than deep character development. The Los Angeles Times praised certain aspects of the series, highlighting noteworthy performances that keep things interesting.
“Butterfly,” a six-episode series based on a graphic novel, stars Daniel Dae Kim as a former U.S. intelligence operative who reemerges to reconnect with his daughter, played by Reina Hardesty. Family ties blend with espionage as the storyline unfolds, revealing unexpected loyalties and complicated relationships.
If you’re intrigued by the world of spies and family drama, “Butterfly” is available for streaming on Prime Video. Give it a watch and decide for yourself if it’s worth the hype.
