“Reacher” season 3isn’t that different from season 1 or season 2.
Now, that’s probably not worth a spoiler warning.
Nor is it necessarily a bad thing.
Plenty of great shows don’t deviate from the formula that works for them.
Instead, they tend to iterate slightly, slowly layering changes that build season after season.
“Slow Horses” is a perfect example of this.
And “Slow Horses” is probably an apt comparison for “Reacher.”
Their leading men may have very little in common at first glance.
After all, you don’t come to watch “Reacher” expecting “Game of Thrones.”
However, you would be annoyed if you literally got the same story each time.
You want some character development, some new hook to bring you in, etc.
In “Reacher” season 3, we don’t really get the former.
We’ve long left Margrave and season 1 behind and now we’re in Maine.
But a lot of the notes are the same.
Something from Reacher’s past catches up with him, giving him a new mission for the season.
Still, they follow some similar tropes as previous characters.
But this season’s villain is a new jot down of evil we haven’t seen before.
But season 3 comes close.Very close.
