Reacher

[Captain Craig]

I watched Reacher S2 earlier this week in two sittings. I enjoyed this season just as much as the first. I've never read a book but seen the Cruise films also.
I keep hearing...he's a lone wolf. Ok, well sure, to a degree. Once things are happening the situations present him with a cast to work with.
S1 that core was Roscoe, Finley and Neagley.
S2 that core is Dixon, O'Donnell and Neagley.

We get flashbacks to the other Special Investigators but we got flashbacks in S1 with Joe, those don't take away from the Loner vibe.

As a comic book fan it was interesting to see that A.M. used a comic book as part of his ruse while traveling. That quote he said twice was creepy, but true "the good guy always wins". I think he saw himself as the good guy though. In episode 3 or 4 when the group is coming back into NYC and are pulled over the cops name badge says F. Miller. That can't be a coincidence.
In episode one when the bad guys are hunting down their prey and an alias used is Sarah Connor and Robert Patrick quips back "how they hell should I know who that is?" Solid easter egg.

The Officers club brawl in the flashback was fun even if telegraphed. The biker gang fight was awesome. The final fight in the helicopter was tense.
Can't wait for S3

Grade: A

Watched season 2 a couple weeks back. Thought it was great! Look forward to season 3.

Never read a Reacher book. Thought the first Cruise outing was basically a perfect noir thriller.

I liked both seasons. I loved the "scenes we want to see" in the last episode.

Damn good show. Why can't we get more stuff like this? Hearing the ratings are off the charts.

I made the mistake of watching Reacher S2 before Echo. This a damn good series. Enjoyed S1 as well. Now this is quality TV IMO, not hot garbage like SI and Echo.

I liked season 1 more than season 2. I hope we go back to the same framing as season 1 with solo Reacher and keep Team-Reacher away from me.

I think the Cruise movies don't get enough credit, personally. Everyone pissed and moaned he was too short, but the acting and plotting was top notch

But as I noted in my post Reacher in S1 isn't solo. He has Roscoe, Finley and Neagley....that is a team.
S2 had Dixon and O'Donnell replace those and you still have Neagley. Are you hung up on the flashbacks?

Yeah, having read a good number of the books, I can say that Reacher is never solo.

He doesn't have a supporting cast, but he usually has someone helping him with the case who is competent and helpful. Though their fates can vary...

I don't mind flashbacks and I just don't like Team-Reacher ASSEMBLE! and all the inspectors fight together (I stopped watching Arrowverse a season or 2 in bc of this crap I don't want it in Reacher)

I liked the two Reacher movies as well.

Finally had the chance to watch the last three episodes of Season 2 tonight. Loved it.

When the prosecutors talk to the senator, their entire pitch should be: "Plead guilty, life in prison no parole. If not, we'll let you back on the streets. Good luck avoiding Reacher, you've seen what he does to people who piss him off."

[AnakinFlair]

You know the only complaint I have about this series? It's the fact that Reacher keeps using cell phones from the people he takes down, and those phones have no security. No passcodes or Face ID to get into it. That drives me crazy.

Other than than I've loved both seasons, and I'm looking forward to season 3.
