SAS: Rogue Heroes — a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rival to Reacher

Reacher has been a Prime Video standout, driven by Alan Ritchson’s cinematic fight work. MGM+’s two-season SAS: Rogue Heroes has emerged as a clear rival, carrying a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer. Both shows bring big-screen action to television while featuring likable, charismatic casts.

SAS: Rogue Heroes reimagines the origin of the British SAS during World War II with high-energy action that feels modern despite its period setting. The series treats its source material with a mix of reverence and irreverence, using a stylish, sometimes punk-rock tone to capture the chaos and messiness of battle.

Reacher leans into precision: Jack Reacher uses logic and overwhelming physicality, and its hand-to-hand choreography often feels cinematic. By contrast, SAS follows a tight ensemble — including David Stirling, Jock Lewes and Paddy Mayne — whose clashes and risky missions create constant tension, so victories feel hard-won.
