Reacher Season 2 launched on Prime Video with a trio of episodes, and by the time credits roll on the third, it becomes clear why. Season 1 debuted all eight episodes on the same day, so viewers were able to binge-watch it from start to finish. Season 2, Episode 1, “ATM,” wouldn’t be enough for viewers to latch onto the story that will unfold weekly from this moment on. Each episode feels like a larger story in three acts, and the final moments of “Picture Says a Thousand Words” introduce the true mystery of the threat facing Jack Reacher and his former unit of special investigators. They’ve found a clue about a missing team member and his connection to the villains this season.The key premise that makes Jack Reacher stories work, on television and in the nearly 30 books about him written by Lee Child, is his past with the US Army’s Criminal Investigation Division. Reacher is a mountain of a man who knows how to fight and kill. His greatest weapon, however, is his mind. From an obsession with details to how quickly he can piece together disparate clues, Reacher is not used to having questions go unanswered. It’s almost surprising Season 2 adapts the eleventh book in Child’s series, Bad Luck and Trouble, because of how this status quo changes. From the first moment Reacher reconnected with his closest friend from the 110th MP Special Investigators Unit, Frances Neagley, he is just as confused as everyone else. The death of his colleagues and the threat facing the survivors have unsettled the normally unflappable drifter.Leading up to “Picture Says a Thousand Words,” fans have seen the villains in action, specifically Shane Langston and the mysterious comic book aficionado who goes by various aliases with the initials “A.M.” While their ultimate goal is still unknown, viewers get to see the former in action. Season 2 strikes a difficult balance. The audience knows more than Reacher and his crew, but not much. The first three episodes showcase the surviving special investigators are every bit as “good” as Reacher. If anything, in their company, Reacher has lost a step. The emotional nature of these murders, along with being reunited with his unit, has kept Reacher off balance in a way he wasn’t in Season 1’s investigation.
