I just wrapped s2 yesterday, as my mid-day brain-free watch. Seemed like 75% of the season happened at night in all-black everything; not ideal for a 1pm viewing but the captions and imagination pulled me through.
S2 is actually my second favorite of the books, and they did it pretty perfectly, but it still didn’t work as well for me. Too many characters, and they took it out of LA and put it in very cold NYC and that changed the dynamic a lot more than I’d have thought.
It mostly just felt like too much of a lore-dump so early on in the series, too many characters and too much hero worship of reacher. Still a good watch but not exactly fun. I bet it would have had a lighter Elmore Leonard kinda tone in LA that would have helped
Yeah, season 1 is book 1, and season 2 is book 11, lol. So there was time for Reacher to grow into himself in the books. Season 3 is book 7. So they're jumping around, but the nice thing is the books can pretty much be read in any order.
