Been slowly going through Reacher season 2. It’s fun, but missing the charm of the first season or the Cruise movie. It’s more fun when Reacher is an outsider who shows up and wrecks shit. Making it a personal story and giving him familiar friends is less of that.

It has been pointed out that not everything needs the Hero's Journey. A hero can be formed by the journey, where the hero is affected by the story. But there is a large body of work which focuses on a completed hero instead affecting change in an environment or situation. REACHER s1 was the latter. I also preferred it.
