The season finale of Reacher saw the towering hero, Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), do such amazing things as take out a small army of armed goons with his hands handcuffed behind his back, and catch a helicopter in mid-air … managing to pull himself inside and defeat his enemy. This is why Reacher co-star Robert Patrick favorably compared Ritchson to Arnold Schwarzenegger during a recent, exclusive conversation with CinemaBlend. But the final episode of the current season, available now with your Amazon Prime Video subscription, confirmed something that has nagged me a bit about Reacher, and it’s something I hope they move away from in Reacher Season 3.
There are 28 Jack Reacher novels currently on the shelves. Author Lee Child has given the team behind the Reacher series more than enough material from which to choose. And for Reacher Season 2, they opted to adapt Bad Luck and Trouble, a story that delves into Reacher’s military history and also gets the “band” back together. Summoned by Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), Reacher and his team – Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan) and David O’Donnell (Shaun Sipos) – investigate a conspiracy that has swept up members of his former unit, the elite 110th.
