In 1997, author Lee Child published the novel Killing Floor, which introduced us to the character of Jack Reacher for the first time. The book won both the Anthony Award and Barry Award for best novel, and it kick-started the military thriller series based on the former major of the U.S. military police, who take on odd jobs of investigating and resolving situations. After first being adapted to film, Jack Reacher came to the streaming world in the Prime Video thriller simply titled Reacher, with each season based on one of Child’s novels.

The show has attracted quite a sizable fanbase, and has become quite comfortable for people who love military thrillers. So, this had us thinking, what were the other Reacher-type shows that fans of this thrilling series would enjoy? To do this, we dug into our vast treasure chest of television knowledge to research and come up with the military thrillers that fans of Reacher would be just as comfortable watching.

‘The Americans’ (2013–2018)

So, imagine you live in the suburbs, and your next-door neighbors are perfect, a little too perfect. But, as long as they keep inviting you to the backyard barbecues, you don’t mind. Then, one day, you find out why your neighbors are so perfect, as they’re actually spies for the Soviet Union. This scenario is an actual storyline in the FX series The Americans, created by Joe Weisberg, which follows two Soviet KGB officers who pose as Americans to spy on the country.

But all of that spying takes a toll on their family, which transforms The Americans from a high-stakes series to one that actually showcases the complexity of married life. But, make no mistake, The Americans has plenty of tension, thanks in large part to the performances of Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys as the KGB spies. It’s actually quite stunning that The Americans have slipped into underrated territory; but, like most of the shows on this list you’re about to read about, use this piece as an excuse to re-watch a truly fantastic series.

‘The Sympathizer’ (2024)

Sometimes, a great thriller isn’t always about the action, but the uncomfortable tension that a storyline can bring. Enter The Sympathizer, the HBO miniseries adapted from Viet Thanh Nguyen‘s Pulitzer-winning novel that was captivating from beginning to end. The series follows a North Vietnamese spy who is forced to flee to America at the end of the Vietnam War. However, he continues to spy for the government that took over Vietnam, which takes a toll on him as he struggles with the loyalties of his new life in America and his loyalties to his home country’s government.

Hoa Xuande, who portrayed the spy, was sensational in the role, bringing a charismatic performance to the role as The Captain. His performance, as well as Robert Downey Jr.‘s, brought a certain type of energy that couldn’t be replicated if any other actors were cast in their roles. While being captivating and occasionally funny, The Sympathizer brought a fresh focus to the Vietnam War storyline, telling the tale from the viewpoint of the Vietnamese rather than relying on the American perspective. If you love Reacher, this miniseries should be a must-watch.

‘The Last Ship’ (2014–2018)

We lost a treasured actor recently in Eric Dane, and we found it fitting that we included one of the most underrated military thrillers that wouldn’t be the same without him. That show was The Last Ship, ran for five seasons on TNT and is just now being rediscovered, and rightfully so. The Last Ship was a twist on the traditional post-apocalyptic story, with Dane starring as Commander Tom Chandler, who commands the USS Nathan James just as a debilitating virus wipes out 80% of the world’s population.

Now, it’s up to the crew and a paleomicrobiologist (Rhona Mitra) to make sure the virus doesn’t kill anyone else. The Last Ship was full of high-octane energy, bringing high-production value that certainly glossed over some of its formulaic storylines. When you watch this series, you feel like you’re watching a movie, not a TV show, and the creators certainly had a knack for detail when it comes to how a military ship operated.

4

‘SEAL Team’ (2017–2024)

While there have been many military shows that have been produced over the years, few have had the raw authenticity as CBS’s SEAL Team. The series, created by Benjamin Cavell, follows the Bravo Team, the most elite group of Navy SEALs, as they go about the globe taking on dangerous missions with little notice. While the central premise of a badass Navy SEAL team kicking butt all over the world, this military series took a different path in its overall plot.

It may seem cool to head out on dangerous missions, but the soldiers in SEAL Team have families, and the series takes a close look at the toll that constantly going out on dangerous missions have on their loved ones. This makes SEAL Team one of the most realistic military shows on television, daring to dive deep into the psychological effect of service rather than its bravado nature. So, if you’re a Reacher fan, SEAL Team will definitely be your cup-of-tea.

5

‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ (2018–2023)

Before Jack Reacher came to television, we had Jack Ryan, the creation of another famed author, Tom Clancy. Premiering on Prime Video in 2018, Jack Ryan stars John Krasinski as the titular character, a CIA analyst who finds himself in the field trying to bring down some of the world’s worst bad guys.

I’ll admit, when I first heard that Krasinski would play the lead role in Jack Ryan, I had my doubts, as we always saw him as the funny straight guy in the famous sitcom The Office. But he proved me and everyone wrong with his stellar performance as Ryan; and while some may have felt like he brought some of his Office persona to the role, it was just what this show needed to become a hit. While Reacher has definitely outlasted Jack Ryan, this is a series that feels like a spiritual cousin of the former, and that should bring a certain amount of comfort for Reacher fans when they stream this series.

‘Generation Kill’ (2008)

While Band of Brothers is, arguably, HBO’s most well-known series on the military, Generation Kills is, perhaps, one of the network’s most underrated miniseries. Adapted from Evan Wright‘s 2004 book of the same name, Generation Kills looks at the horrors of the Iraq War through the lens of a reporter that’s embedded with the US Marine Corps’ 1st Reconnaissance Battalion. Created by David Simon, Ed Burns, and Wright, you can feel the grittiness, the horror, and the toll that the war took on the soldiers.

While many critics and viewers praised Band of Brothers for its realistic appeal, Generation Kills was basically bathed in realism. In fact, TV critics often regard this show as being hyper-authentic, showing Marine culture in an unfiltered, not-for-everyone way. The cursing, the jargon, the monotony of combat, the atmosphere, everything looks and feels real. It’s almost like Generation Kills could also have been a documentary, but while it feels that way, you will come away feeling like you watched what a military show should be; thrilling, dramatic, and, most of all, authentic.

7

‘The Unit’ (2006–2009)

Raise your hand if you have heard of the CBS military thriller The Unit? We don’t expect a lot of readers to raise their hands. Heck, even old TV heads like me forgot about this show until I started doing research for this article, which is shocking given that, in the mid-2000s, this show was the network’s most-watched series, with high ratings and being nominated for a Primetme Emmy Award.

Created by David Mamet, The Unit is adapted from Eric L. Haney‘s (who also served as a producer) book Inside Delta Force: The Story of America’s Elite Counterterrorist Unit, the show follows the top-secret Delta Force and how their personal lives are often impacted by dangerous missions. When you see a title like The Unit, you’d think that this show was all high-action; but while it does have its share of thrilling moments, it also functions as a domestic soap opera, especially when it comes when these soldiers are with their families. If you’ve forgotten about this show, now is the time to rediscover one of the best military shows ever.

8

‘Band of Brothers’ (2001)

I certainly hope that no one who reads this piece thought that we wouldn’t recommend Band of Brothers to fans of Reacher. In fact, we’ll go as far as to say that this stellar miniseries is a must-watch. Created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, this military war series is often regarded as one of the best shows of all-time, an honor that we certainly won’t disagree with.

As with most of the shows on this list, Band of Brothers was adapted from a novel, this time by Stephen E. Ambrose, who wrote the novel of the same name in 1992. Band of Brothers follows “Easy” Company Parachute Infantry and the role they played in the Western Front of the D-Day invasion in World War II. What many fans of Reacher will absolutely love about Band of Brothers is its unrelenting realism. The way the show is filmed, in a desaturated visual that makes you feel like you’re right there in the middle of all the action, like it should be.

‘Lioness’ (2023–Present)

We love everything Taylor Sheridan creates, as he brings that Wild West grit that is simply intoxicating, a sentiment that’s shared with many viewers of his shows. Lioness, however, is a bit polarizing for the Sheridan fanbase. They love the high-action that the series brings, but many thought the show is a bit formulaic with its overall storyline. And, here’s the thing, we really can’t argue with that.

Having said that, formulaic storytelling can often be forgiving if the product on the screen is entertaining, and Lioness is definitely that and then some. Starring Zoe Saldaña as the leader of an elite CIA team that enlists female operatives, Lioness packs a huge punch when it comes to intense, military action. Saldaña is terrific and a bit terrifying as Joe McNamara, the senior case officer who leads the Lioness program. Her presence is imposing and tense, and she gives a very strong performance that easily makes you forgive some of the show’s weaknesses. Lioness is the perfect comfort food show, especially for Reacher fans.

10

‘The Pacific’ (2010)

While we can’t heap enough praise on Band of Brothers, The Pacific is equally amazing. The second of a three-part miniseries that follows the U.S. Military during World War II, Bruce McKenna created The Pacific to focus on the Marine Corps’ role in the war’s Pacific Theater, which was much more devastating and traumatic for Americans as the European Theater was.

The show follows the experience of Marines from three different divisions. Each of the Marines has a different experience than the other, but all the stories are interconnected and all of them showcase the horrors the Pacific Theater unleashed. Much like Band of Brothers, The Pacific is drenched in hyperrealism, but this series is definitely darker and more harrowing than its predecessor; and the visuals are simply top-notch. Gone are the desaturated visuals, and in are haunting tropical hues in which you can feel the punishing heat of the Pacific right through the screen. If you’re a fan of Reacher and you loved Band of Brothers, this series is a much-watch.

Lisa Rinna Has Closed The Chapter On Being A Housewife

The Mother-Of-Two Expected More From The Network About Her Decision To Leave

Lisa Rinna Referenced The Drama At 2022 BravoCon As Her Tipping Point

The 62-Year-Old Got Candid About How Filming ‘The Traitors’ Challenged Her

What Lisa Rinna Revealed About Her Husband’s Sexuality

Are you a Faithful or a Traitor — or just obsessed with Peacock’s latest reality TV megahit? Here at Us Weekly, we’re 100 percent faithful to the only game show that pits Housewives against “gamers” and actual Olympians, with hosting duties carried out by the ever-glamorous Alan Cumming (who’s won four Emmys for his trouble).

Season 4 of The Traitors upped the ante with new twists and turns, leading to perhaps the most savage finale in Ardross Castle history. To recap: After banishing figure skater Johnny Weir, the final four — Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski, K-pop star Eric Nam and Love Island USA’s Rob Rausch — convened for their last vote. Rob, a Traitor from the beginning, had recruited Eric to his side late in the game after the banishments of original Traitors Donna Kelce, Lisa Rinna and Candiace Dillard Bassett, while Maura and Tara were the last two Faithfuls standing.

After the group unceremoniously banished Tara, Rob mercilessly played his last two costars against each other, convincing them both that he planned to go all the way with them and split the cash prize. Unbeknownst to Maura, this wasn’t possible, as he was a Traitor all along, while Eric was collateral damage in Rob’s scorched-earth plan to convince Maura she could trust him. The season ended with Rob coming out on top, winning $220,800 after throwing all of his allies under the bus.

Shortly after the cast taped this year’s reunion, Us Weekly sat down with Rob, Maura, Eric, Tara and late lamented gamer Natalie Anderson to unpack season’s 4 cold-blooded betrayals — and got the bottom of whether the smoked salmon was really that good.

A Snake in the Grass

Rob is the first Traitor and first solo player to win the show since Survivor legend Cirie Fields, also a Traitor, in season 1. Viewers — and some costars — initially underestimated the Alabaman snake wrangler as a smooth-brained himbo, but it soon became clear that his gameplay was some of the best Ardross Castle has ever seen.

Rob Rausch: I wanted to be a Traitor when they explained the rules to me. I clearly realized that the Traitors have every single piece of information that you need to win the game. It just comes down to your skill set. Like, there’s no excuse to lose the game if you’re a Traitor.
Maura Higgins: [When you see me find out Rob is a Traitor], you can clearly see I am in total disbelief. I’m in shock. I don’t think I’ve ever felt like that ever in my life. I genuinely always have something to say, and I just froze. I couldn’t even speak. I kept thinking, “I’m waiting for him to say, ‘Joking!’” I genuinely thought, “OK, this has gone on too long. Just tell me you’re joking now.” And he just didn’t say it. And then it finally sunk in, and I was just genuinely in shock. I just believed he was a Faithful the whole time.
Eric Nam: I was so sad and angry [when Rob admitted it]. More than anything, I was just really disappointed, because Rob and I had built a rapport in our relationship — not just when I became a Traitor, but from the beginning. Once I became a Traitor, that only became stronger, and it was kind of like we were able to communicate without even using words. And I was like, “You know what? We’re good. I think we’re gonna be fine.” And then when he turned, I felt so dumb and stupid and honestly disappointed, but at the same time, I’m like, “You know what? Great gameplay, great game.” He was a snake. I always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. When you’re in this game and you’re immersed for so long, sometimes you forget that people are still here to play the game. And I think perhaps I trusted him a little too much.
Rob: [Before the final vote], Maura came to me and made me promise to her that I was going to vote Eric out because she thought he was a Traitor. And that’s when I was like, “OK, I have to do this.” Because yes, given the opportunity, I’m going to take the money for myself. I love Eric. He’s a great guy. But at the end of the day, he’s a stranger. I knew him for three weeks. Like, what are we talking about? … It just wasn’t a risk I was willing to take — I had the game locked up. Why would I not just finish out strong?
Maura: In my head, I kept thinking like, “Oh, my God, imagine if it was Rob. But then what if he is a Faithful and then I turn on him, and then I have the biggest regret and I’ve trusted him the whole way through the show? Am I really gonna turn on him now and not believe him?” I just genuinely believed he was a Faithful. I think he played a fantastic game, and he is an incredible liar.

Reality TV stars and celebrities join Peacock’s The Traitors to see which Faithfuls can expose all the Traitors — but who ended up banished and murdered in season 4 as a result? Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders (which previously led to a popular UK version), The Traitors brings together a group of celebs, especially […]

It Was All a Game

Rob betrayed all of his allies on his path to victory, while Tara and Natalie let their sniping with each other get in the way of an organized strike. So how is everyone feeling now?

Tara Lipinski: I love Natalie! And now we have kept in touch and formed a really nice relationship.
Natalie Anderson: I feel like [Tara and I] could have done something and we could have won. But it doesn’t make it super personal.
Rob: Me and Eric are cool. Eric understands it’s a game. He said it took him a few days, but he got over it, and we’re cool. [With Maura], she took it like a champ, and she said she would have done the same thing, but it was hard because she really trusted me.
Eric: We’re good. It took a day or two for me to be like, “Wow, that was a crazy experience. And I can’t believe that I once again trusted somebody and I got completely stabbed in the back.” But Rob sent me a message after filming, and I think it just said, like, “My fault, G,” and I was like, “That’s just him.” At the end of the day, it’s a game, and I can’t be mad at him for playing a really good game. We’re friends, we’ve remained friends, we will stay friends. And I’m really happy for him.
Maura: Me and Tara are absolutely fine. We talk all the time. [With Rob], I’m not taking it to heart. It’s not real life to me — he was chosen as a Traitor. He’s not allowed to tell anyone, and he played an incredible game, so I can’t be mad at that. I can only be mad at myself for trusting the wrong person. He told me he’s going to get me a gift, which is going to be a Birkin handbag. So when he gets that, then he’s fully forgiven.
Rob: That is in the works. I’m in cahoots with Lisa. She said she could probably get my foot in the door so I can buy one. It’s proving way more difficult than I thought it would be.

Know Your Enemy — Or Don’t

Traitors contestants prepare for the game in various ways — watching old episodes, or in Dorinda Medley’s case, reading The Art of War — but season 4’s finalists took a somewhat more laid-back approach to the process.

Rob: I attempted to watch an episode with my best friend, and I just couldn’t get into it. I’ve been on Love Island, so I realized what you see is only a fraction of the whole story anyway, so I knew it wouldn’t really help me in the long run. This is a game that is completely based on the people you’re with and the connections you make and understanding those people, so there’s really no point in making a strategy until you’re in the game.
Tara: I watched season 3, but no other preparation! I never thought it would be as hard as it was. I made friends with everyone, and it was very hard for me to switch to harsh gameplay and not just follow my heart.
Natalie: I obviously studied the game.
Eric: When you get to the castle, you realize that unless you’re a Traitor, you really can’t have much strategy. The Faithful are so blind we have no idea what’s going on, and production does such a good job of keeping us completely confused the entire time that it’s really, really hard to have a strategy.
Rob: [Early in the game], we were going after people who were intellectually threatening, pretty much the people that I thought were the smartest and that could put two and two together — people that didn’t trust me. Like Mark [Ballas], Natalie — we left a lot of people in the game that I thought were very smart and strategic, but I think that they were blinded by our relationship to a degree that it wasn’t a risk to keep them in the game. Kristen [Kish] as well. There were quite a few people that were very smart that trusted me.
Maura: I had no strategy. I’m not gonna lie about it — I had zero strategy. I was learning every single day I was in there, and I was just like, “You know what? I’m gonna go in, serve some looks, hopefully stay in maybe for a week, make some friends and that’s it.”
Eric: [Maura] literally did nothing. Maura Higgins is that bitch, because she can literally do whatever she wants, and she’s fine — she was always protected. She literally would just be carried everywhere. We would just look at each other like, “We’re so f***ing good at this game.” And I was like, “Maura, you might be the best player, because you haven’t done a single thing, you haven’t lifted a finger, and somehow you’re in the final.”

100 Percent Salmon

Viewers usually don’t see much of what the contestants are eating, but this season, the smoked salmon served at breakfast became such a hot topic that it became a plot point on the show. So we had to ask: Was it really that good?

Eric: I don’t think there’s anything great about the smoked salmon. The issue is that we start shooting very early, and all the foods are cold, right? That breakfast is cold, the croissants are stale, the eggs are cold, everything is cold. And the only thing that’s acceptable to eat cold really, to me, is smoked salmon, and it’s the only form of protein outside of just a bowl of watery, hard-boiled eggs. There’s no seasoning or flavoring in Scottish food. So to have a kick of omega-3 and some salt via smoked salmon I think is what really got people so excited.
Natalie: The salmon was just something that was the best probably at the breakfast table. It was good, but not compared to good salmon, like if you go to New York City and you go to a good deli and you get a nice lox and cream cheese bagel.
Maura: I don’t think it was that good. Because the breakfast was so bad, that was the only kind of good thing we had, and because we didn’t have a lot of it, it was the one thing that we all wanted. The boiled eggs were cold, the toast was hard and cold. I can’t believe it became such a thing as well. Especially me, in every single episode, all I’m doing is eating. There’s companies DMing me offering to send me smoked salmon.

Castle Hindsight Is 20/20

It’s easy to play armchair Faithful from the comfort of your couch, but it’s a lot harder when you’re actually in the castle. Does anyone have regrets?

Tara: It would have been nice if Johnny and I had another Faithful to join our little alliance earlier, but we understand it was hard for anyone to trust anyone in the castle, so that was probably an unlikely hope to begin with! But no regrets — I tried my absolute best throughout the game.
Maura: I genuinely don’t take it that seriously, and I’m not a serious person. I’ve seen a few comments like, “Maura is the dumbest person in there,” but it’s so easy for them to say they know who the Traitors are. Like, it’s not that easy when you’re in there! It’s actually really, really difficult. But yeah, I wasn’t upset [about the ending] at all. I was actually very proud of myself for getting as far as I did. My advice for anyone that’s going to do The Traitors is don’t watch the show. Just go in and don’t have a strategy and just wing it, because it worked for me. I know that I trusted the wrong person, but at least I got to the final and I wasn’t murdered. Brilliant.
Natalie: My biggest regret is not playing a harder game. I could have put some of the worries about being targeted away, even though it was scary because they were killing us left and right as gamers, so it made it harder for me to be myself. But I should have just embraced that and just been like, “Listen, if you’re going to get murdered or banished, it’s better to just try.” … I should have just depended on myself, basically.
Rob: Murdering Mark was a tough one, because I really got close to Mark, and having to see his face right after was a tough one. And I think he knew [I was a Traitor]. I think he had figured it out, and so that’s how I know it was the right choice to make.
Eric: I would have been a little more wary of like, “OK, maybe Rob will stab you in the back.” It would have been a very complex thing to try to pull one over on him, because he had so much trust in the castle … but maybe I would have played it differently.

Making Lala Proud

Even if they didn’t come out on top, the cast can still hang their capes on their proudest moments in the castle.

Rob: I’m only thinking about the game and how it’s going to work out for me to win. I was there to win a game. I was not there for screen time or anything like that. I wanted to play and win.
Tara: It’s not the best gameplay strategy, but I’m proud that I played the game with my heart and stayed true to myself. I am not a reality star, and it was important to me that I stayed authentic to myself and played with integrity. I made a lot of friends in the castle, and I loved building those relationships.
Eric: My goal was just to have fun. This is the most random side quest I could have ever taken on. And more than anything, I just really wanted to leave an interesting impression on America. I’m American, I was born and raised here, but I had to go to Korea to build a career, because there’s just not a lot of people that look like me doing these things. And so I was like, “OK, I want to do this in a way that’s impactful, and then hopefully we can introduce the music and the multiple films and all the other things that I have going on in an interesting way.” And so from that perspective, I think it’s been fun and successful. And then the other part was like, I really just wanted to make good TV.
Natalie: I’m proud of being an asset. One of the best moments for me was when we were dividing up into teams for the statue challenge. Yam Yam [Arocho] goes, “Alright, so let’s make the strongest people captains,” and they picked me, Colton [Underwood], Rob and Stephen [Colletti]. It’s a different feeling for me — having people just be like, “Natalie’s one of the strongest, stronger than some of the guys. And we’re not going to argue with that.” That, for me, is amazing.
Maura: I’m just proud that I made it as far as I did. To be the last woman standing, I never would have thought that in a million years. I never watched the show. I got to wear all my outfits, and I’m probably getting a Birkin handbag. So, win-win.

The Traitors is now streaming on Peacock.

Grey’s Anatomy‘s newest episode paid tribute to Eric Dane after his death at 53.

The hit ABC series returned on Thursday, February 26, and featured a montage at the end of the episode that highlighted Dane’s best moments as Mark Sloan (a.k.a. McSteamy) through the years. Snow Patrol’s “Chasing Cars” played in the background with a message that read, “In loving memory.”

News broke on February 19 that Dane died after a battle with ALS, which is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and has no cure. The day of Dane’s death also marked 20 years since he made his debut on Grey’s.

After the medical drama premiered in 2005, Dane joined in season 2 in an episode titled “Yesterday,” which followed Dr. Sloan’s arrival at Seattle Grace that forced Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and Addison (Kate Walsh) to confront their past. Despite only being in one episode that season, Dane’s screen time was increased, and he remained on the show until 2012.

Dane later reflected on how his struggles off screen contributed to his character being killed off.

“I think I was let go,” Dane said on an episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast in 2024 about how he was dealing with addiction issues at the time. Dane clarified that the show’s producers “didn’t” let him go specifically because of that.

“Although it definitely didn’t help. I was starting to become — as most of these actors who have spent significant time on a show, you start to become very expensive for the network,” he explained about his experience before entering a treatment center in 2011. “And the network knows that the show is going to do what it’s going to do irrespective of who they keep on it. As long as they have their Grey, they’re fine.”

Dane added: “I wasn’t the same guy they had hired. So I understood when I was let go. And [executive producer] Shonda [Rhimes] was really great. She protected us fiercely. She protected us publicly. She protected us privately. … But I was probably fired. It wasn’t ceremoniously like, ‘You’re fired,’ it was just like, ‘You’re not coming back.’”

The Grey’s Anatomy cast and crew are mourning the loss of their costar Eric Dane following his death at age 53.

Dane announced in April 2025 that he was diagnosed with ALS. Following his death, Rhimes, 56, released a statement reflecting on Dane’s legacy.

“Eric Dane was a beloved member of the Shondaland and Grey’s Anatomy families,” Rhimes said in a statement on February 19. “He was truly a gifted actor whose portrayal of Dr. Mark Sloan left an indelible mark on the series and on audiences around the world.”

She continued: “We are grateful for the artistry, spirit, friendship and humanity he shared with us for so many years. Our hearts are with his family, loved ones, and all who were touched by his work.”

Grey’s Anatomy airs on ABC Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.

Despite having plenty of competition, Dua Lipa may just be the queen of statement-making style. The pop star isn’t opposed to showing up on red carpets wearing completely see-through dresses, and even her more casual outfits have a touch of dramatic flair. She’ll amp up denim shorts with bulky, calf-length boots, or rock a $53,000 gold watch with a basic black pullover.

Lipa has been favoring Bvlgari’s Serpenti Tubogas Watch as of late, which makes sense given that she’s an ambassador for the fashion brand. Made to mimic the shape of a snake, the gold wrap-around style is embellished with diamonds. . . and completely out of our price range. However, in today’s world, nothing is totally unattainable. Amazon has its own budget-friendly version of the timepiece, and it won’t cost you a dime over $30.

Get the Snake Bangle Watch for $25 (originally $27) on Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

Sure, the snake bangle watch on Amazon is made of metal rather than real gold, and those ‘diamonds’ are actually glass crystals, but the chunky, slip-on accessory looks super similar to the real deal. Fashionistas will love telling time with the bold, analog design — or just using it as a statement piece to punch up whatever they’re wearing. Like Lipa’s version, this affordable alternative will add interest to basics or complement bolder styles such as a furry coat. It’s the ultimate rich-mom extra, and will no doubt have people believing you splurged on something pretty pricey.

The singer, actor and entrepreneur attended a business meeting earlier this week, and she accessorized her look with the ultimate CEO-style accessory: a Hermès Kelly 25 Sellier Blue Sapphire Alligator Bag. According to a trusted Hermès Broker, Jane Finds, Lopez’s designer bag costs […]

Even Amazon shoppers say the watch “looks a lot more expensive than it is,” with many highlighting how stylish they feel just sliding it on.

“I’m absolutely in love with this snake watch!” one person wrote. ” I wear it every single day — it’s the perfect accessory that goes with everything. The design is bold and unique, and I get compliments every time I wear it. It’s stylish, comfortable, and definitely a statement piece. I love it so much, I’m planning to buy another one. If you’re thinking about it, just get it. You won’t regret it!”

Others shared that the piece — which also comes in silver and other variations — is an ideal weight and would work on arms of all sizes.

“I was looking for an edgy piece to add to my collection and found this, and I’m so glad I did!” a happy reviewer said. “It’s really nice, a little heavy but comfortable. Easy to put on and seems like it will last for a long time. It’s a little flexible, so I think if you have bigger arms, you could still use it, though it would wrap [fewer] times around you. Overall, I think it’s a great piece and amazing value for the cost.”

While you might be tempted to save the snake watch for special occasions, the inexpensive price tag means you don’t really have to. You can pair it with your winter knits, rock it with silky spring dresses, take it to a wedding or use it to solidify your spot as the best-dressed person at your office. It can be your new everyday essential!

As Lipa once sang, “glitter in the sky, glitter in my eyes, shining just the way I like.” She probably wasn’t talking about her watch, but now you can embrace the singer’s vibe — and copy her cool-girl style — with this $25 must-have!

There’s a certain kind of comedy that clicks with audiences on instinct, and it helps when it’s irreverent, wildly energetic, and just downright stupid. In the 2010s, few film duos captured that spirit quite like the mismatched partners of the Jump Street franchise, who breathed new life into a long-dormant, previously more straightforward crime series. Now, if you’ve been meaning to revisit those films on streaming, your window is closing fast.

Both entries in the Jump Street reboot series are scheduled to leave Prime Video at the end of February, meaning less than a month remains for fans to stream one of the funniest action comedy duos in recent memory. The films — a pair of $532 million global grossers — turned a cult ’80s police drama into a self-aware comedy machine. They’re anchored by Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, whose chemistry as unlikely undercover cops brought the gags just as hard as the action.

In 21 Jump Street, Tatum and Hill play officers Schmidt and Jenko — two clashing partners sent back to high school to bust a drug ring. The follow-up, 22 Jump Street, sees them infiltrating a college campus as the jokes get bigger, the meta humor gets sharper, and the franchise’s willingness to poke fun at itself becomes part of the fun.

How Funny Are The ‘Jump Street’ Movies?

Collider’s review stated that 22 Jump Street clears the near-impossible hurdle of being a comedy sequel by doing exactly what Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, the duo behind the Spider-Verse films and the upcoming Project Hail Mary, do best: acknowledging expectations, then gleefully messing with them. The review praised the film’s self-awareness, noting how it edges toward parody without ever collapsing into it. Lord & Miller bring their animated sensibilities — honed on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and The LEGO Movie — into live-action, stretching reality just enough to allow cartoonish, perfectly timed nonsense.

“The movie is always eager to branch out to other comic approaches, so the picture rarely feels stagnant. The characters are well-established at this point, and Hill and Tatum’s chemistry is even better. They bounce off each other perfectly, and while we expect Hill to be funny, he’s almost eclipsed by Tatum, whose growth as an actor continues to impress. I adore every one of their movies. They’re surprising, clever, weird, and while I could say their movies are far better than they have any right to be, the filmmakers have earned that right by succeeding again and again. 22 Jump Street shows that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Instead, admire your handiwork and brag.”

The Jump Street movies will leave Prime Video at the end of the month.
