Season 1 was good.

Season 2 was bad.

Season 3 is trying to be worse.

But, it's so cheesy and ridiculous that it's kind of fun.

I'll allow it…

I make fun of it but I like the cheesy escapism but season 2 was just not it, especially the team formula. At least so far this is essentially the lone wolf scenario, which is the best Reacher IMO.

Also, I really hope the guy in custody at the safe house has some kind of switch up because we can all see from a mile away he will take advantage of the newbie, kill him, and squeal to Beck which puts Reacher in danger.

how did Reacher know there was a secret basement?!?

and explain how he just said he has ONE SET OF CLOTHES!?!?

we are supposed to believe he washes the same set of clothes every night and they are dry the next morning?

When the henchman fired the gun after the Russian roulette to show that it had a bullet it pierced some sort of oil can or the like, and the drainage uncovered the outline of the entrance on the floor. Reacher was already suspicious due to the plate of food being taken to someone out of the house (and him being there in part looking for the CI).

If the clothes are what beggars belief the show's probably not going to be your cup of tea.

I was really annoyed at how easily the federal agent goes along with things in the warehouse.

(Spoiler tags didn't work for me so I edited it to keep it vague)

Tell me you haven't read the books, without telling me you haven't read the books.

Reacher typically buys clothes from Goodwill/consignment shops about every three days. Sometimes he does wash them in the sink if he needs them a little longer. Now how he finds his size in these shops, that is the real question.

I'm pretty sure that was explained in season 1 too, when him and the deputy stop at Goodwill or whatever shop.

I think most people watching this havent read the books. I know of myself and about 10 friends who all watch. None of whom have read any Reacher books.

I actually think it's okay

better than Jason Isaacs playing a North Carolina businessman when the very first word he said getting off the boat in White Lotus you could hear his London accent.

still love him.

Correct-

I only read non-fiction books the last 30 years

I am liking this season better than the last one, but it feels like it's missing the heart of season 1. Just feels a bit dry. I think it's in part because he's mostly on his own (season 1 he had 2 pseudo partners and not from a distance), and the people he's killed so far haven't been righteous Reacher things, but people that might expose him. And no real love interest to this point either, though I am hoping for the French maid.

I miss Roscoe.

And they have definitely been hinting at him and the maid.

Sadly it will probably be the English chick with an awful Boston or Maine accent.

Her accent reminds me of Vera Farmiga in The Departed.

Lots of foreshadowing as to what's going to become of Paulie in ep 4

Some good development over the last two episodes. Setting up for the Clegane Bowl 2 between Reacher and the Dutch Giant

Season 1 was must watch TV. I never finished after watching most of season 2 because I didn't find the storyline or characters compelling. Season 3 storyline and characters make me want to switch the channel after 10 minutes but I am pushing through for some reason.

Four episodes in and Reacher has barely kicked any ass and the bad guys are laughable. You can't have this type of show without a legit bad guy.

They are setting up epic fight between him and the hulking guy

Dang was hoping it would be her instead of the Boston accent woman. None are on the level of Roscoe though.

Duh that is obvious. So we have to watch a boring 8 episodes where Reacher barely kicks any ass until there is some action? Ridiculous.

This season is terrible. The characters, good and bad, are all uninteresting cardboard trash. The plot is awful. Everything is contrived. This is really bad.

I actually liked season 2 even though it wasn't as good as 1. But this is way worse.

I haven't read the book that underpins this season yet, but I think there could be some cool stuff coming about who McCabe turns out to be. There hasn't really been a big twist yet like there usually is in most Reacher books, like if Duffy is actually Julian McCabe.

Yep, this season sucks. I just hate the actress with the fake ass stupid Boston accent. And hiding the phone in the pillowcase? How stupid is that? And then the attempt to fool the audience by having the guy ripping apart the pillow in another room to make us think that the phone will be found once he searches Reacher's room.

So silly.

I assume you mean the DEA badge in the pillow case, but yeah. That was dumb. The chick's fake accent is terrible, and she's not hot at all so I can't overlook it.

And Reacher just prances around doing illicit **** at night like there are no security personnel or cameras? What?

Leaving that dude tied to a chair for days on end and he's still just hanging out there having conversations like a normal guy? What? And then he kills the younger guy who is watching him because he just spit some alcohol in his face when he lit a cigarette? What? I mean he could have just gotten up and taken the kid out any time based on that scene. He did it all tied to the chair. Why did he sit there for a week? The fire didn't do anything to help him.

The old fat federal agent with diabetes waddling around getting into gun fights with trained killers and somehow surviving? What?

The dad of the kid who got kidnapped…all of his people keep mysteriously dying, so instead of saying "gee, maybe this is Reacher's fault since all of this happened right after I hired him," he…….makes him his head of security? What?

I could go on. Basically every single piece of writing in this season is awful.

Sounds like I should definitely jump in on season 3 after quitting season 2 halfway through.

Season 1 had great characters that complemented each other but weren't redundant. There was a mystery of who was good and who was bad.

My hot take, the Reacher character is very limited and while he is the protagonist, the story is made interesting by the supporting cast.

Tap the brakes. We need to examine that further.

Her face just doesn't do it for me. The chick he was banging last season was fine as hell. Was hoping she'd make a reappearance.

I take this show for pure entertainment value. I don't get too concerned with all these lower level details. Its completely unrealistic and I'm ok with that.

Season 1 was obviously the best, but I haven't had any major issues with S2 or S3.

We haven't seen Neagley in a while either, I think there are plenty of twists left in this one.

They had to change that from the book. In the book Reacher opines that the weight on the .44mag shell and quality of the pistol causes the lone shell, due to it's weight, to always land on the bottom cylinder. They never actually fire it as they did in the show.
Nobody cares. Work Harder
