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.
ok cool they were one of my moms favorite authors. I'd read her books after. I just recall the change where he starts spouting what he's thinking and it being lame.

Good thing those Indonesian chicks are good with those karambit knives because apparently 700 rounds from a machine gun is not enough for them to disable a Ford Taurus or hit any of the occupants of it. This show has always been silly, but it seems to be going to a new level this season. The 17 times Reacher has escaped from a half dozen trained soldiers/officers with guns is equally silly but at least he's supposed to be kind of superhuman. Also the guy playing the brother can't act worth a shit.

I was betting that they wouldn't copy the drive because even though that's the obvious thing to do, it would mean they lost their MacGuffin for the season if they just made copies of the files and emailed them to someone. Of course that's also the obvious thing for the sister to have done but apparently we're pretending that this specific flash drive is the only place these files can or ever will exist.

I said I was done with this after Season 3 barring an upswing, and it sounds like that opinion shouldn't change.

I would point out that (pre-release) PR photos for both Season 2 and 3 had scenes from their final episodes, so I am not sure anyone involved really considers this something that can even have spoilers - Reacher and his crew for the season will be fine, and (at most) a tangential local support cop might get killed.

I'll see it out as there isn't much else on, but I'm done after this season. As others have said, this has always been silly, but at least the actors were ok in s1 and s2, this one they're all atrocious, and the silly factor is off the charts.

Hey, I've been entertained. Big titty Asian chick is a terrible actress, but eh who cares. It's been a fun ride with all the action.
