Though the story was a bit messy, it was a fun, interesting ride. Despite its title, this is more of an ensemble show. I actually liked all of the characters, even the silly villains. Each of them got satisfying narrative arcs, which takes real writing chops to pull off. I hope we see these characters again, and that their growth sticks!

This show has progressively gotten worse since its first season. Jack Reacher has become more and more of a charmless, sociopathic murder hobo. He’s been stripped of all of his character traits save for his deadpan quips and his impulsivity. When combined with a cast of unlikable, stupid side characters who go from one cartoonish action scene to another, I’m left feeling like I’m watching a bunch of smelly fish flailing on an equally smelly subway train.
