** It's regularly claimed that Jack and his brother Joe look and sound nearly identical, to the point of those who knew Joe being shocked by the similarities and saying they'd have known who Jack was based solely on the similarities. Then we finally see Joe as an adult in a flashback...and he's played by Christopher Russell, who doesn't look or sound a thing like Alan Ritchson. It's like a version of ''Film/Twins'' but played completely straight.

** While it is taken directly from the books, the 110th's catchphrase, "You do not mess with the Special Investigators", has been derided as awkward and clunky. It's especially hard to take seriously when Season 2 sees heavy use of the line despite beginning with [[spoiler:half of the 110th dropping like flies]].

* AssPull: Many fans feel that after having established Reacher as a formidable, near superhuman tank, especially having shown him take down a group of hardened thugs in prison all by himself (where even a shank got involved), having him struggle against Kliner's much shorter and smaller nephew Dawson to the point where Dawson nearly successfully killed him (and would've successfully killed him if it weren't for the gun Roscoe gave him) made no sense, crowbar or no crowbar, as Reacher should've been able to make quick work of Dawson in the matter of seconds like he did so many others before him, especially since Dawson was never established as having any sort of fighting or martial arts skills or strength (Dawson had even literally kicked Reacher straight in the chest with absolutely no effect earlier in the season), which made his all-of-a sudden serious challenge to Reacher one-on-one seem like it was pulled out of thin air rather than a fight with closeness that made any sense.
