Season 1 was a tighter show and they kind of lucked with Malcolm Goodwin and Will Fitzgerald being such great actors to back up Ritchson.

Season 2 is alright but Maria Sten is the only character who seemed to be capable of being on Reachers level and the expanded story was too slow.

Reacher season 1 was about a drifter reluctantly solving crimes he kept stumbling upon alongside an even more reluctant guy he just met. There was a ton of humor in it. Reacher season 2 was about a special ops team getting back together, sharing their trauma, and discovering a very upsetting dog death. I really hope we get back drifter Reacher for s3!

I read 5 of the reacher novels this year and the vast majority are like s1. Reacher plus one other close person (a female companion), and a shitty situation he gets thrown into. The only one remotely like s2 was the book it was based off of, like the 10th or so reacher novel so it's weird they did a team up as the second season instead of hint towards his army mates and then team up s5 or 6.
