Continuity mistake: The gas station scene where Kliner Jr. is leaning against Roscoe's truck. It starts as the passenger side, then cuts to him moving away, and she enters the drivers' side.

Reacher (2022)
Starring: Alan Ritchson, Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald
Continuity mistake: A woman approaches Oscar Finlay when he's having a beer at the bar. She asks him "What do you do?" and his hand is at the bottom of the glass, only to be at the top of the glass in the reverse shot. It happens again as the two different angles alternate. (00:36:05)
What Happens in Atlantic City - S2-E2
Other mistake: Early in the episode, the team is driving south from NYC to Atlantic City on what appears to be the Garden State Parkway when they pass mile marker 19.4, which is well south of the exit for Atlantic City (exit 38).
Trivia: The man Reacher passes in the diner at the end of the episode who says "excuse me" is the author of the Jack Reacher novels, Lee Child.

Trivia: O'Donnell references "James Barr" as someone who might have a grudge against the 110th. Reacher says he "ran into him in Indiana last year - he owes me now." That's a reference to the book "One Shot", which was also the basis of the Jack Reacher film starring Tom Cruise, where James Barr was falsely accused of sniping civilians. That story's presumably canonical in this series but is now in the past.
Question: Why did the police arrest Reacher? He was simply passing through.
Question: In season one. It just doesn't make sense or the villains/police are thick as hell. Firstly, it starts with the death of Reacher's brother Joe. When they killed Joe, why didn't they just move his body so it couldn't be found? They all knew at that time there were two good cops in that station, why make work for yourself? Secondly, we know Paul Hubble has his number in Joe's pocket. Surely the villains would have checked his pockets first or, as in the first part, moved the body so it can't be found.





Answer: As Reacher had arrived in town just after the murder occurred and being a stranger, he became a suspect (or at least a person of interest) and taken into custody for questioning by the police. He was released fairly quickly. It was coincidental timing of an outsider arriving at the same time as the crime occurred.
