Reacher is not a good guy, amirite?

So does Reacher. He kills folk who have it coming.

of course he isn't. Just like John Wick isn't a good guy. I always got the impression from the books and the show that Reacher is likely on the spectrum. If nothing else he could certifiably be considered a sociopath, with some OCD sprinkled in. Maybe even some paranoid schizophrenia.

He's definitely a sociopath, pretty sure in one of the books they even bring that up. Doubtful on the Schizophrenia. OCD possibly on a stretch. Mostly he's just a morally grey person with the means and skills to carry out his self proposed mission.

Yeah, it seemed strange to me when I watched the show that the "good guy" was remarkably comfortable killing people. I mean, I understand it when they're shooting at him, but there were definitely times in all three seasons he could have just had people arrested. Also, I know they sort of play the police off as a joke, but if that many people really turned up dead, the police would be all over it.

I'm assuming it's a typo and you meant to say that you understand him killing people when they're shooting at him, not that you understand him killing people for shouting at him. Because I'd have follow-up questions if you mean the latter.

Yea they burned some henchman guy to death on a boat intentionally stabbed him in the feet and left him there in the fire who I don't remember him doing even anything "that" illegal I mean not even close to as illegal as Reacher been doing also Reacher has apparently no clue of who other is undercover agent so he might have just killed another undercover guy who was just better at acting like criminal than Reacher was.

I really enjoyed the first season ... second was a bit of a stretch ... third is just a gore slasher.

Reacher is a serial killer masquerading as a hero.

He's going up against people who would not hesitate to gun him down. It's the smart thing to do. Don't expect evil to be as good as you.

I haven't read all the books but I've read a lot of them and I don't remember him doing stuff like that in the books.

It's....it's a fictional story. He's not a real person.

Reacher is too bulky. I don't see him as a believable character.

He's big in the books. Tom Cruise was not a believable character.

I don't think anyone is a good guy, morality is relative and circumstantial

Not only that he is an asshole in real life.

He's got bipolar disorder and is notoriously a sweetheart, so what are you talking about? Are you talking about Tom Cruise? Everyone else here is talking about the current Reacher.

He is as open as his steroid use as a Hollywood actor can be. So that is a green flag in my book.
