Jack Reacher Series (Amazon)

Anyone noticed the rental car that Nickley and Dawson had in this episode has a Hyundai badge on the front and Ford badges on the back and steering wheel lol. Someone fu-cked up there big time lol.

This is absolute rubbish. Loved the first season but there is zero chemistry here between any of the characters. I've never seen a more wooden bunch of actors.

There seems to be two camps.

I'm with Rob316 though. Season two just not doing it for me. Season one had small town bullies getting owned, humanity, a dog & lots of shtick humour.

" Cos i only hit hard"....

Sorry, im not gonna even bother with season 2.

Season 1 was ok - but im out.

That explains him banging the arse off Karla in season two. No banging in season one.

He did

a lot of poor aim and wasted ammo in that ep.

I hate how they have to dumb everything down and spell it all out, like in the motel room when the kid takes the Clark bar, the look he gave should have been enough, but he has to say to everyone in the room about it being the only Clark bar. It's a small annoyance and there are probably much bigger a ones for other people, but there is just no need for it.

It’s fantastic tv

It's pretty standard execution for a US show. They don't trust the audience to understand the SHOW, so they feel they have to give the TELL as well.

It's all a bit silly, but it's enjoyable silly, so I'm happy to go along with it. I think Ritchson's doing a grand job, it may not be the most demanding job, but Reacher is definitely a consistent character. There's something good about knowing what you're going to get, and then getting it.

It was a satisfying ending, albeit a bit neat but then the books always go that way. It's just a fun series, not to be taken too seriously. I'll happily watch more in future and it seems to be very popular.

Cruise's Reacher was more cerebral than this one and this season wasn't as good as series 1.

Was OK.

But it should have been the final season, of a few. Where we got to know the other characters individually through other seasons and this was the one that brought them all together and gave them a sort of happy send off. Don't feel it worked as a second season, with more to come.

Enjoyable enough, but not on a par with the first season at all.

It must have been intentional but I found the character of Reacher to be played very differently in this one. Season one he had his odd ways but he still had some humour and wit, and was able to interact with human beings. This series it was nothing but robotic blank stares every time somebody spoke to him.

The problem being of course that he is in a team with all his closest friends, and we are told that they all idolise him and would do anything for him. But at no point do we get to see why. He barely answers them if they ask a question, just stares blankly if they make a comment, he gives them nothing. Its a complete failure of "show don't tell".

I know his friends were killed and he is supposed to be angry, but the season 1 Reacher had personality, this one is just a gimmick.

I enjoyed both seasons. Both were slightly different. Season One was more fun season two when it got going certainly had more action but was more stupid too. Hopefully season 3 will get back to being more fun again.

Yeah, could have done with another season or two, before a wholesale introduction of the full Special Investigations Unit team.

A lot of different ways if could have happened too. The flashbacks to the SIU could have culminated in the news that two of them had died as a part of a S3 teaser or something. It was too many faces who were already familiar with each other far too quickly.

Otherwise, plenty of silly entertainment, one-liners and general badassery. It's not great. It's pretty formulaic, but it executes that formula well so I'll stick around.
