Some series seem to lose their way in the third installment, but not Reacher. Season three continues to be fresh with great acting, dialogue (appropriate for the genre), scenery, and a light sprinkle of comic relief. Never a dull moment, Reacher takes you on a wild ride with twists and turns with lots of surprises along the way. Although I have not read the book, I am told that Reacher is true to form. No wonder it has been renewed for another season. I can't wait. If the past is prelude to the future, we can all expect another installment that will deliver the same energy that we have come to expect and love about the series.

The recent season was just a recycle of the prior ones but done poorly. Frankly, we were a little bit bored by the whole thing. Somewhere along the way the series lost its mojo. In the first season, there was tension, there was excitement and an emotional tie-in. Sadly, the recent series lacked all three. There little tension, no energy, and the relationship between the two lead characters no longer held our interest. You know when you stop caring about the storyline and characters you are in the danger zone of losing it all. If there is a new season, it will need to go back to what made it watchable in the first place.
