Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator, has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served.
When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime.
While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher’s keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
I read my first Reacher book maybe 25 years ago, and I have read evey one of the 29 novels so far.
This is awesome. I'm about 20 pages into my first one(the first one!)
Over the 29 novels does the quality dip off? Are they all much of a muchness?
They are similar but not the same I think the change of author for the latest ones are not as good as the first 24. I do still read each new one though.

That's very good news - just hope she will also appear in Season 4 of Reacher - can't imagine the show without her anymore :).
Yes, she really adds to the show.

Ending of Season 3 was OK, we got to see what we knew was coming. The show delivers on exactly what you want from it, nothing less but (sadly) also nothing more.

I thought Richson's acting started out a little worse than season 2, but it got better and I thoroughly enjoyed the season. I gotta say the sex thing was weird. As if somone said, "Oh,no! We forgot to write in a sex scene." She just didn't seem like the type to just jump on a guy like that.
I've learned that you can't judge a book by its cover, so this felt coherent to me. :)

However, like some others, the time just flew and that doesn't happen often for me with TV or movies. I hope there's a season 4.
I'm starting to want to read the books (the originals, not all the spin-offs), but I have a hard time reconciling characters if I watch the TV/movie versions first!

Just watched the final episode of this series and had a little chuckle to myself trying to imagine Tom Cruise in the fight scene with Paulie.

I read my first Reacher book maybe 25 years ago, and I have read evey one of the 29 novels so far. The movies with Tom Cruise were OK, but he was in no way Reacher. The TV show has been cast perfectly. The point in the first book that hooked me was how he dealt with the two thugs that pursued him. Ambush, no warning, kill them, break legs to fit them in the boot (trunk). No mucking around. We have greatly enjoyed series 1 and 2, looking forward to 3. We wait until all available then watch one a day. It is important to remember that Reacher is not real. After 29 novels, suspension of disbelief is completely established.

There are a lot of plot-holes which I can overlook, however...isn't there one gigantic plot hole that basically breaks the story. At least it didn't resolved in EP01-03 - or did I miss it?
How are there no visible measures taken in town after a cop was killed? Just day to day business??
How did Dole with his hook-ups not find out that no cop was actually killed? Makes no sense.
How is Reacher walking around carefree in the town?
This is basically an insult to Season 1 where local law enforcement was an integral part of the story - in Season 3 it they get completely ignored...
For me, that wasn't a big hole because:
- There are places without any local police. So after forensics did their job, yes, it would mostly be back to day to day business.
- I didn't get that Dole had good connections to cops - but maybe I missed that.
- Since they pulled off their stunt without any/ many witnesses (I don't recall), why wouldn't Reacher walk around carefree?
The amount of public and private cameras would be a problem though. :)
