Really enjoyed the finale. Great fight scene. The season was great in my opinion because of the book they chose.

Already looking forward to the next season. Wondering which book they chose. Filming is supposed to begin July 1st.
I am thinking of doing the audio book versions, if possible, in the meantime.

Incredible ending (throwing out anything realistic... remember, this is on par with Marvel super heroes.... ;) ) Epic fight finish. Paulie was one badarsed bad guy! They really should have stretched this episode out by 30 minutes or so, but within its genre, it was excellent. Looking forward to season 4!

Yeah - I enjoyed the season.

The build to the big showdown paid off and I was satisfied with the payout - was basically a bigger version of when he made him punch himself in the face

I would have liked Quinn/McCabe to have a bit more danger throughout the last scene - has a moment, bit I would have liked more based on how he was built up

I absolutely agree with him!

I went back and watched some of those old Magnum, PI episodes, and by today's standards, the production values and the storylines were both pretty cheesy. It was good cheese, don't get me wrong. I like Reacher as it is being shot, but yes, the seasons should not take so long to come out. Get rolling damn it. Shoot two books at a time. Figure this out Amazon!

Pretty good stuff. I know a lot of folks give Ritchson a hard time about his acting, but acting out a flat affect and a still body stance, especially for a man of his size, is incredibly hard. I know from experience.

Season 2 wasn't very good and season 3 had more stupid than I could handle. So much so I was ready to ditch this show. This season? It has been pretty rock solid. Best season since Season 1 and it's not close.

The season three never ending final battle between him and the huge security guy was fun!

It was fun but the stupid by Reacher was unbearable. Like him not supposed to be having a phone, but making phone calls standing in front of an open window so all the guards roaming the property could see him. That's one of many examples of the beyond stupid from last season.

Yeah, if that kind of stuff is going to trigger you that much, you might as well not watch. The book was good and the character of Paulie paid off with his size and toughness.
