Season 2, Episode 1
5/10
When you have a HIT show.....you change it????
11 January 2024
Greetings from the other side.

I've watched the 6 episodes of season 2 that are out so far, and sadly, it's not very good. Season one is incredible. In fact, I've watched it a few times since last year.

For some silly reason, they decided that their hit show should be completely revamped. I'm thankful they kept the character "Reacher" in the show. However, that's about the only thing they have in common.

It's now a "Team" show. Some of Reacher's old friends from his military unit (the 110th) turn up dead, so he gathers the remaining members of his unit to solve their murders. We see Neagley from from season 1, who is the young black woman from his unit. She's smarter than Reacher, obviously.

This show is boring now, and I'm finding it difficult to continue watching. It was so much better when Reacher basically worked alone.

It was a mistake releasing the episodes weekly because I have a hard enough time being motivated enough to continue watching the episodes, but having to wait a week, I just might give up now. I don't care how it ends, or if anyone dies (other than Reacher).

Hopefully, if there is another season, they will be smart enough to return to their original format, and punch up the writing. I guess we will have to wait and see.
