Reacher’s AM Is Leaving Behind A Trail Of Dead Bodies

Season 2’s AM is a departure from his Bad Luck and Trouble counterpart

AM is the more mysterious opposition of the pair , since little is roll in the hay about his past or where he came from . He ’s known as AM because all of the pseudonyms he use , like Azhari Mahoud or Alan Mason , start with those initial . He ’s often described as a ghost since he move through the world practically unobserved , and in some ways , AM is a saturnine mirror to Reacher himself .

AM Is Not The “Ghost” Reacher Keeps Claiming He Is

He keeps making himself MORE visible

There ’s almost a dark clowning to be made out of AM ’s lean of errors onReacher , and how his bodycount mounts because of them .

AM X Things We Know About Reacher Season 2’s Mysterious Villain

Why Reacher Had To Change AM From The Book

He was a little too mysterious in the source material

Making AM more of a physical scourge is one additionReacherseason 2hadto make . InBad Luck and Trouble , he ’s this loom threat late in the background who only really appears in the last chapters . If the show was true to the source textile - where AM travels under faux identities and generally not doing much - viewer would probably forget there ’s another villain besides Langston .

Reacher had to make AM more lethal - even at the price of undoing his liquid manipulator reputation . To the show ’s credit , it ’s not peeling back the mantle on his backstory either . Some film maker might have been tempted to give AM an blood line or even link him to the 110th in some convoluted way , butReacherhas - so far - avoided that route . Now they ’ve made him more of a forcible adversary , the question rest whether he and the titular hero will jar in the finale too .
