Yup, campy as hell. Season 2 has a better plot line, albeit a slow developing one. Seems like they are cramming 25 minutes into 40.
Agree, the pacing has been rough. So much more to fill the time in season 1.
What I find funny is Fuzzy Dunlop's frequent threats to kick Reacher's butt. And Reacher somehow finds clothes that fit him in every shop.
I truly enjoy the show and totally agree this week was particularly ridiculous. The bad guys in the car had semi-automatic machine guns. Followed the cop and the girl for at least 10 mins. Not one bullet in a person or even a tire. Hell, it was probably 100 rounds before his front windshield took a bullet.
Someone already mentioned the helicopter machine gun. Reacher is a big target and somewhat slow. Not even a scratch.

This week was a good episode
Yep. Screw taking a nap vs the alternative in that scene.

I really appreciated when the dude had a gun fight with the baddies and the girl was in the car between him and them. That car door ain't stopping a bullet.
Michael Rosenbaum's podcast is one of my favorites. Been listening to it for years.LMCane said:
it's interesting to hear Alan Ritchson discuss his bipolar disorder with Michael Rosenbaum.
dude has a great life but dealing with mental illness also means his life can be pretty awful.
Posted this in Season 1 thread before I realized it's moved on to a separate season 2 thread:
Just finished season 1, which I enjoyed, and about to start season 2. But I have a general question that may have been answered early on and I forgot, or in the books, but why does everyone call him Reacher and not Jack? Even his mom and brother call him Reacher rather than his first name.

Haven't watched the last episode yet, but this season just isn't as good as the first season. The action sequences are just...meh. Action (and everything else) was just that much better all around in the first season.
Yeah I agree...you would think it would be better with more money in the budget but yeah, I'm not liking this season as much as season 1. Don't get me wrong, it's still better than 75% of the crap out there and a good mindless escape for an hour.javajaws said:

Don't care how campy it can be. Love this series. Just wish teams like this were real and wiping out the bad guys one by one.

I found both seasons to be equally cheesy. But a lot of fun.
They made reaxher less mysterious and more of a joke in this season imo. Also the other people on the team being badasses is a little much to handle, especially because they are all scrubs in the flashbacks. The girls fighting the biker gang was awful as well.
I will watch it all, just doesn't do it for me nearly as much as season one.
Yeah the joke from Robert Patrick with the "Who the F knows" about the Sarah Connor alias was good for a laugh but a bit corny
Not sure budget is the problem. It supposedly had a $14 million per episode budget for season 2. That's in line with season 1 Mando which had a **** ton of special effects.
Oh, I figured they had a bigger budget for this season.Fenrir said:

One thing I have noticed is they had much better needle drops in season 1 like Spirit in the Sky when he offed that one dude in New York. The kills just seemed more realistic and not as corny as this season.
Hope they can turn it around and finish with a bang.
S1 had a little intrigue or mystery to it. This season is extremely linear.
True...the hook of his dead brother (which ended up as mostly a coincidence) was a major lure of season 1 and just getting to know the character.jeffk said:

Yes this season is providing more back story but that narrative is pretty dull.
Finally started season 2. Definitely over the top and more of a comic book in real life rather than legit action. Lots of cheese ball factor. But as far as entertainment it works and will see it to the end, call it a guilty pleasure and break from reality.
I like the build up of the last episode. Should be interesting. I am entertained
The cheese factor is real but IDGAF. I enjoy Reacher for what it is and look forward to each and every ass whooping. Super Bon Bon, Super Bon Bon.
Me either, and I couldn't put my finger on it. I think it's because Reacher has such a big team now, and everyone of them is portrayed as over the top badass as he is.Prosperdick said:Yeah I agree...you would think it would be better with more money in the budget but yeah, I'm not liking this season as much as season 1.

Season 1 Reacher kicks butt, and his support were clearly support who stepped up when needed, but weren't themselves invincible. This season we have 4 Reachers in essence, which detracts from what makes the character unique.
Sad to see this week's episode end but I'm looking forward to the next one.
This season feels more like the Reacher books. A bit cheesy, over-the-top sequences, and a borderline psychotic attitude.
Maybe my old man eyesight but I'm a bit over all of the the fight scenes being filmed in dark shadow mode...guess it might save stunt man budget..
I love the show, and the over the top action and cheesiness. But some of the lines and dialogue are such headscratchers. There was one this week I had to text friends:
"Anyone trying to cross is going to get lit up like a Wrigley Field night game."

Easier to light and fewer onlookers from the public I would reckon.

It's also cheaper. We're in an era of dark filming techniques, whether in shows or movies. I have friends that complain about it all the time. I have no issue with it, but it's definitely en vogue right now.
The minimalistic lighting gives scenes a more realistic feel, but also can be harder to follow.
This series is great. I think the cheesy lines are done perfectly. When he Reacher says "I want to throw you out of a helicopter" I lost it. Absolutely hilarious and perfect for the show.
I'm not sure how y'all expect this NOT to be cheesy. I, for one, love the cheese. It doesn't need to be Jack Ryan to be good.
Last episode is up. Predictable, cheesey, and thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely don't think it lived up to season 1 but was still a good ride.

Nah this season just wasn't very good.
His line about a Trailwinds annual pass cracked me up. Awesome character.
