Season 2 was unwatchable. Loved season 1. Couldn’t get past more than an episode and a half of season 2. Script was bad. Characters were unlikeable and plot was not interesting. This was all before the idiot profoundly insulted his audience. What a pity. Really. We could use a larger than life action hero who is not a Marvel character.
While I agree Season 2 wasn't nearly as good as Season 1, I don't think it was quite as bad as you say. Sorta like bad pizza, it's still pizza! I also don't mind Capt. Booby....even if it isn't as good as Roscoe! BTW, your video was very creative.
Thank you for sharing that! My expectations for season 2 were sky high since that’s where the first season left me. Like I mentioned in the video, I waited for the whole season to be aired and I guess them not meeting those expectations really is what hurt me too apart from all the things I mentioned in the video. But hopefully they fix these issues and I won’t keep my expectations high for the third season.
@@reviewthischris So youre saying that because your expectations were high, thats what ruined it for you? Bruh thats just like all the gamers that get butt hurt when a triple A game doesnt meet expectations when they built it up in their head for 2 years. Just watch it for what it is. Reacher is a character, the second season took a different approach to the character not because they wanted to change reacher, but because they wanted to showcase who he is to his loved ones. One of his key characteristics is his strong sense of justice, which he used to progress the entire plot of the 2nd season. The only difference is he was more rash in his decisions instead of calm and collected. However, and this is really important to understand....Reacher season 2 was not about reacher. The whole point of the 2nd season was about his team and his background. Which now lays a plot for future movies, shows, games, etc that will need supporting characters. If they stuck with the old silent reacher bit for 5 seasons, we would be complaining that all he does is stay silent and kill people...which is boring after awhile. Yes it was not as good as season 1, but it is far from bad enough to not finish the season.
@dratah4615 I wasn't going to reiterate all the reasons why I didn't like this season once again in the comments when I've made a whole video on it, lol! My expectations not being met was just the cherry on top apart from all the reasons I've mentioned. I'm not sure if you watched my video but I've pretty much answered all your points in there. PS: Everyone has their preferences, and I'm glad you liked this season!
Yeah! Season 2 focused on the integrity of characters I didn't know or even care about, if the integrity in question was about a character we cared about it'd make sense. Like Neagley or Reacher himself. What a rubbish season!
I loved the first season. Loved it. I didn't finish the second season. His crew got too much screen time, and I don't give a shit about them or his relationship to them. Will they, wont they with Jack Reacher isn't something I give a shit about. Masculine acting girl bosses is a trope, and I am just done with them. I wanted to see Reacher head into another town and get caught up in some stuff again. Then at the end of the Season.....wander to the next adventure. It is what made Mando season 1 good, it is what made Conan iconic, it is what made Reacher season 1 great. Unless I hear some serious changes, I won't be watching Season 3....IF they even get to make one considering how many balls they dropped on Sesason 2.
@@reviewthischris not OP, but I liked a bit of the background history being on display. Seeing Reacher in the past with his core team illuminates some of his peculiarities, while having some of them interact with him in the present makes it so clear that he is massively removed from most people's perception of humanity.
Thank you for sharing that! I honestly thought I was the only one who felt that way since the reviews I watched, praised the season and was left wondering whether I was somehow going crazy for not enjoying it. The first season was an absolute banger and I hope they go back to that formula.
In Reacher 1, there was a mystery that was revealed a little at a time, and not completely until the last episode. In Reacher 2, all the important stuff was known by the third or fourth episode. In Reacher 1, his brother had bee brutally murdered, yet Reacher was self controlled at all times and only killed when necessary.. In Reacher 2, Reacher hunted for people to kill, and killed just for the pleasure of it. Plus, the ending was just pure bullshit gore.
I am much less likely to watch anything else by this guy bases simply on the fact he keeps bashing Christians. even if you arent a christian or you dont care, i am stick and tired of actors making comments that alienate half of the country. i am not saying people in the entertainment industry cannot have thier own opinions. but imagine having the arogance where you think it is ok to basically tell millions of people you dont want them to watch your stuff or pay to see them. I can like an actor or a signer's product and know we differ on religious or political views. that is fine. but when you make it public and then double down, sorry time to make a choice.
Season 2 departed much farther from the source material than season 1. That's a major reason why it sucked.
I guess that’s why. T never learnt from GoT.

Could not finish it, and wanted to like it too.
Me too, the heartbreak was excruciating!

Hopefully they get back to lone Reacher just stepping into trouble in a sketchy town, solving mysteries!
To me, season 1 showcased an interesting character, season showcased a weird caricacture.
Couldn’t agree with you more!
Hate to agree but yeah. We needed more "Reacher said nothing" in season 2.
Peacemakers dad. What. That's the T-1000
Why these writers always think they can write better plot than the author who wrote the book is beyond me. SMH
Season 2 was OK but loved season 1. I hope they will do more like season 1.
That’s all we can hope and pray for! I really want this show to succeed.
Loved season one but didn't watch season two beyond the first episode.
Same! I thought it would get better but it didn't. As a genuine fan, it was heartbreaking :(
It was great! "You don't mess with the special investigators".
Genuine question, could you elaborate on what you liked about this season? Because I felt the complete opposite.

It had a 98 from critics and 77 from audience. S1 was better but s2 really wasn't bad
I really liked season one but like you i could not even finish watching the first episode of season 2.

Totally right! It felt like they did not think things through this time around. I hope they make the necessary changes for the next season.
I liked it
Nobody cares if you liked it it's a good show no matter what but then again what do I know but personal opinion like you
Thank you…?

Don't care
you came to this video just to say don't care? As Bugs Bunny would say, "what a maroon"
