Reacher Recap: Western Exposure

The series introduces a subplot involving a Los Angeles side quest, which provides fresh elements but highlights weaknesses in secondary character portrayals. Notably, the character of Susan Duffy is less competent on screen than in the book, leaving a gap that detracts from the show’s overall depth. Despite these issues, certain changes, like the removal of a victimized character, can be seen as improvements.
