Ugh ... the finale of Season 2 was revoting


But so was most of S2. What an awful show.
S1 was at least watchable for the most part.

I liked most of season 2, but the ending of the final episode sucked. They should have went with the book ending instead.

reply

The last 3 episodes sucked bigtime, and none of the others were much better in my opinion.

How did the book end?

reply

In the book;

AM and the trucker were captured and left tied up for Homeland Security to arrest. None of that BS about letting anyone fly away then hoping the missile system worked as intended.

Dixon was sent home with the $65 million to convert to cash. Dixon and O'Donnell DID NOT have serious gunshot and knife wounds inflicted upon them which left them still able to function instead permanently maimed or dead from infection.


In the TV series;

Reacher converted the bonds to cash in a matter of days, seemingly without ever leaving his friends or knowing anything about how money works other than using an ATM and paying for old clothes in cash or using someone else's credit card.

I like the TV version better.

reply

So, the money magically appears? :) Dixon and O'Donnell are wizards?

reply

I hate revoting shows.

reply

S2 had every bad cliche from an 80's TV show.

reply

Agreed. They really blew it on Season 2. Season 1 was good.

reply

Better

reply

It’s a fantastic show and one of Amazon’s biggest hits ever. Season 2 was even better than the terrific first season. Can’t wait for three.

reply

Agreed. Fun like a good western from days past.

reply

I liked the first five minutes of the first episode, but it was all downhill from there.

reply

I don't know if your joking or not, but I 100% agree. Season 1 tho.

reply

S2 was a big step down from S1 because it was an ensemble affair. Reacher depended too much on other people rather than solving problems himself. It felt overblown and messy.

reply

Reacher on his own is boring and dumb and almost all of what he or they do together is nonsensical magic.

reply

I still haven't finished season 2 yet. I wasn't hating it but lost interest half way thru and never got back to it.
