Reacher

[BigFin]

Enjoyable season but the ending was the weakest part IMO.

Decent finish and season but a few holes (too be expected)

Spoiler

AM was a worthless a villian, he just drives around and hangs out in airport and gets shot by gang without putting up a fight. Nelly sees them loading helicopter, has a sniper and is crack shot, but suddenly forgets she has a sniper rifle? Langston for reasons unknown doesn't kill Reacher, he instead beats him for a bit and like so many tropes leaves him for him only to escape his bindings and kill everyone. Shaw thing was very predictable. I think episode would've been more powerful had one of the characters died. I think overall the source book didn't provide enough material for 8 episodes and from what I read, they diverted from books after e3, but eh. I enjoyed it, easy to watch, but could've been better. Also didn't think NYC was a great setting [/spoilers]

Most of your complaints are the book. Changed a little for tv viewing. But the deaths and non deaths exactly like the book. Like you said they needed more material for 8 episodes so they added plot with Russo and what not to stretch it out.

But the ending while absurd at times(like most of a series built on fun) followed the book. And clearly Neaghly is going nowhere if anything S1 proves shes being expanded even bigger than the books.

so, Season 1 was 2022. Two years for Season 3? 2026?

there's enough Reacher books published.

I read that they’re currently shooting Season 3.

your basic ending to a Lee Child book. Fun show...not exactly splitting atoms with the storyline lol

‘Reacher’ Will Go Undercover as Season 3’s Source Material Announced; Maria Sten Set to Return

Amazon has confirmed which Lee Child book will serve as the basis for "Reacher" Season 3.

Source material is book 7

And no surprise that Neagly is confirmed back

 

[The Q]

Fun season

You get exactly what you want here with shows like this

Which is why it’s popular

With so many books available this should be a total cash cow if Amazon doesn’t mess it up

Exactly

It’s an anti woke show

And that’s why it’s popular

some truth to this

Also Terminal List if you haven't seen checks that box

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I love the Reacher character but Terminal List is the superior show imo.

I never did get around to watching all of Terminal List. I think I stopped at episode 3 or 4 and just never picked it back up.

You got me all excited about a new show to watch, then I realized I watched it a year or 2 ago.

Chris Pratt is great in everything.

oh crap, it's THAT show on Prime?

I guess I'm in.

 

[The Q]

I also watched both Jack Reacher movies

The characters, despite VERY different actors, do come off quite similar.

Good job by both of them IMO.

should be a season 2 soon lol

That's what drives me nuts about streaming shows, they go 2-3 years between seasons. And the seasons are very short.
