I watched it, and it's good, but this bugged me.
Reacher says he goes to Margrave because his brother had once told him that Blind Blake died there, and he remembered it upon hearing him in a bar in Tampa a few days before. One would assume that his brother ran across the info on Blind Blake when his research on the counterfeiting led him there, months, or in the context Reacher puts it, years before.
Recall in episode 1, he admitted to Roscoe that he hadn't talked to his brother in a long time.
His brother is killed in Margrave literally hours before Reacher got there.
That's a coincidence that is beyond absurdity. If he had said, 'my brother called me a few weeks ago, mentioned Margrave, and I thought I'd come check it out', it would've made sense. The way they presented it, 'my brother told me about this town years ago, so I decided to come check it out, as fate would have it the very day he was killed here', it made none.
