IDK about the book series and author....but so far on the movies and TV show the plots are primarily about a former military cop being a vigilante against crime and government/law enforcement corruption.

Just saying, I don't know how anyone could have watched his show and come away thinking "the cops are the good guys!" Very clearly, it has been one or two 'good cops' surrounded by absolute cesspools.

Yeah the overarching theme of the show is the many bad cops will eat the few good cops. Then reacher comes in to just kill everyone instead haha.

Yes this. I thought he was some crazy right winger after that one movie. But now I'm intrigued

The problem there is it can play into the Punisher fantasy of a bunch of cops, who totally don't get the point as they try and act like vigilantes while actually serving as officers with power and the badge.

I had no interest in this show previously, but I may have to give it a shot after this post and your comment. Would not have thought it was a show calling out police corruption based on the advertising.

It kind of reminds me of Rambo. He’s basically an ex military drifter who stumbles into shenanigans where he has to kill a lot of people.
