I really like Justin Hartley. And his acting was fine in this show, despite the poor quality of the script and the weak supporting actors.
Regarding the script: The general premise of the show could be good-- a man with exceptional tracking skills finds people who are hard to find or don't want to be found. But Reacher this is not. It's a pale imitation, at best.
Honestly, the show is just boring. Painfully so. The plot plods along (I almost fell asleep). Serious situations lack gravity. Even the opening scene of the pilot lacks any sense of weight.
Then there are the supporting actors. Of the few I can remember after watching three episodes, their acting is poor. The writing is partly to blame, but the show also seems too focused on checking politically correct checkboxes. It strains credulity in the process.
I've given this 3/10 only for Justin Hartley. But that's being very generous.
