Dominique

As Reacher takes the reins as the Number Two he is finally coerced into revealing the back story of Dominique. We know she didn't survive her confrontation with the evil that Reacher is now facing off against. This may be a bit repetitive for some viewers, but if action is going to be taken, we need to have the foundation--as do his superiors (if there is anything superior to Jack).

Reacher is becoming more involved in the day to day things, but some of his actions are drawing suspicion, especially from the worst of the worst.

Of course, we have the narrative hook again as danger is at the doorstep as things finish. This is more transitional.

Best episode of the season, the flashbacks might be cheesy to some, but they are always amazing and takes you in instantly.

The vibes I got from watching season 1 were back in this episode, and I loved it! I originally thought that Quinn might be and old character recurring, but him being a new character made it a bit more exiting and adding on the layer of his psychological background makes you truly believe this guy is capable of anything. I think this might be the only flashback episode of the season, but it was needed to set up the villain - I was not invested in "Quinn" as a character before this episode - now I want to see Reacher kill him so badly.

The 7 rating is only for season 1.

Season 1 was great in my opinion, stellar acting, good premise and Ritchson as Reacher was a breath of fresh air.

Season 2 was terrible and honestly quite pathetic. Bad writing, bad acting and plot points that felt completely out of place. The villain barely had any screen time and felt completely pointless in the season.

Season 3 is the final straw for me. Terrible writing, horrible acting and cheap sets. I wish I only watched season 1 and kept it at that, because everything else has been a waste of time. I'll finish season 3 but after that, I'm done watching Reacher.

Someone really messed up this episode, either the screenwriter or the director.

The dialogue is awkward, clunky and unnatural. The actress playing Dominique was very shy and awkward, even wooden-like in some scenes. The jokes are forced, the actors saying them look like they are attending a funeral. The overall quality is somewhere inbetween Star Wars Episode 2 and The Room...

They either cut costs and used AI or some intern, the difference in quality is night and day.

PS: The positive reviews seem written by the staff who worked on this show, many are completely biased, unrealistic and overly optimistic.

After a strong start to Reacher Season 3, Episode 4 feels like a major step down in pacing and engagement. What started as a thrilling, action-packed season suddenly grinds to a halt with an episode that feels more like filler than progress.

The biggest issue? The flashbacks. They come off as overly dramatic and cheesy, adding little value to the story while dragging down the momentum. Instead of offering deeper character insights, they feel forced and unnecessary.

Then there's Reacher's female partner-cringe-worthy and painfully dull. Her interactions feel unnatural, lacking chemistry and any real presence. Rather than adding to the intrigue, she becomes a distraction that makes certain scenes feel like a chore to sit through.

Overall, this is easily the weakest episode of the season so far. The first few episodes set an intense, gripping tone, but this one loses steam fast. Hopefully, this is just a temporary slump and not a sign of things to come. Fingers crossed that Episode 5 gets things back on track.
