‘Reacher’ Needs To Fix Its Most Predictable Pattern Ahead of Season 4

It’s a new year, and that means another season of Reacher is in the books. Each season adapts one of Lee Child’s novels, introducing fresh locations, new characters, and another mystery for Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) to unravel. With Season 3 behind us, the series once again introduced a new central dynamic — this time pairing Reacher with DEA agent Sarah Duffy (Sonya Cassidy). Now that Reacher is firmly established as a global streaming smash hit for Prime Video and Season 4 is coming up, it may be worth taking a closer look at one of its most familiar storytelling habits that the show could benefit from dialing back on.
