If I'd write that Season 2 of Reacher is not as good as Season 1, it would be a gross understatement.
There's not much to like about second season. Starting with new characters and overall plot.
Main bad guy gets introduced through multiple scenes during the season where there was a certainty "ah, that guy again, he will now kill somebody". It would be more interesting to have a more hidden build up. Nobody cares when somebody is killing random npcs on the way to final scene.
With the new characters added to main crew, it is no longer Reacher, it is now Special Investigators Unit. It has multiple detrimental effects and the main is prolonged violence, because now you have to give room to 4 people rather than 1 or 2. It is seriously wasted footage to watch 1 minute slap fight for 3 characters and Reacher breaking everything.
There are good scenes mixed in here and there, but overall it lacks both tempo and depth.
Now that I watched it, I can read the Bad Luck and Trouble book.
I might adjust the score if the source material is bad, but as of now, Season 2 is 4/10.
