When Amazon Prime Video announced that it was making a show adapting Lee Child's long-running Jack Reacher books, way back in 2021, I was absolutely buzzed. At that point I'd read every book in the series (which is still true today) and been baffled by how we only had two okay Tom Cruise vehicles to show for it.
Now, I'm experiencing probably the first comedown of the whole series so far – we're years on from that initial announcement, and the third season of the show just wrapped up with a fairly spectacular finale. Still, something about it didn't grab me like the first two did, and I'm struggling to put my finger on why.
