Everybody saying "Hey, Swan's dirty" and Reacher won't admit it. So you KNOW he isn't. It's just a matter of giving us the 'twist' that proves that Reacher was right all along.
I don't mind a damn competent protagonist but the problem with Reacher's infallibility is that it becomes a Chekov's Gun of sorts. His unwavering belief in Swan gives the story away because you know he's going to be proven right in the end.

I agree. It happens way too often. Too many of the people who make these things think 'if a little bit does a little good then a lot of it has to do a lot of good' and it sucks.
I'll watch the rest of this season but I doubt I'll invest much time in any more of it.
