re: Reacher Season 2: Official trailer

Agreed.

The whole season feels similar to Jack ryan S2, just lame, awkward, and surprisingly low budget.

Prime made the same mistake and bit off more than it could chew after success in S1 and while I thought this book was very good, it’s clear it was a mistake to use as S2 because it is one of the more epic in the series covering multiple locations (for some reason changed from L.A. and Vegas to NYC and Atlantic City), characters, and shootout/explosion scenes.

The beauty of S1, and most of the books in the series, is that they are pretty well contained conflicts, often in small towns, with Reacher almost always working with only one or two allies that he meets in that town helping him along the way.


Prime simply doesn’t seem equipped to tackle this more complex narrative and didn’t commit the budget necessary to make it look convincing on screen.

I agree with an earlier poster as well that Reacher’s banter with his 110 buddies is less interesting than his more robotic analysis and facts only approach in most of the other books, and comes off as pretty lame given the writing.

Det Herc’s last stand for some girl we saw for like 90 seconds came off as painfully cheesy, especially after one of lamest car chase scenes I’ve seen in a long time (not to mention on the heels of the hilariously cringe worthy fire fight at the funeral :lol)


They need to be much more realistic in choosing the book for S3 and get back to what made S1 fun and satisfying.

Sorry Apple but I think ur f’d in the head. Episode 6 was fantastic. Fast paced and it explained a lot about who is the real bad guy. Sad when the NY cop died too. Loved it. By the way Apple did you used to watch 24 and what did you think of it?
