The first season of Reacher was essentially perfect. The writing and acting absolutely nailed Reacher. It was a superb TV adaptation of the book Killing Floor. The second season has been so much worse, mostly the writing.
Season Two of Reacher is what happens when the writers decide to make it more stereotypically "Hollywood". This isn't Reacher. It's a dumb action flick with all the tropes, like unnecessary violence, thousands upon thousands of bullets flying everywhere and no one getting hit, people doing absurd stunts that make no sense, plus plenty of other physics-defying nonsense.
If you like Reacher, and especially if you like the books, I think you're going to be disappointed in this season and especially this absurd ending.
I haven't checked to see if the same writers were used for this season or not. If not, they absolutely need to fire this group and rehire the original group. If this was done by the original group, well, time to fire them, too, and find someone willing to stick closer to the source material.
