This season is based on Gone Tomorrow (#13) and most fans consider it one of the best Reacher books. Andrew Child didn't start taking over the series until #25.
But yeah, it's definitely shaping up to be the worst season of the show by far. The supporting cast is weak and I don't know what the fuck the show's writers were thinking when they decided to drop the book's ending twist into episode 4. Either they just don't care about spoiling it this early or they've completely rewritten the entire third act.
