Reacher: Amazon's Jack Reacher series

Agree. Both got off much too easily and quickly. Although
Langston at least felt a bit like stalked prey as Reacher always called him from phones of his henchmen that he killed. And he was offed in the same manner of those he killed. Mahmood never even had an inkling of being threatened. His first thought of being found out was less than a minute before it happened.
I think they misused Mahmood, simply because this was only the second season. Short version, Reacher often uses aliases with the initials J.R., for the reasons he gave about Mahmood always using A.M. In the book, Mahmood was essentially the anti-Reacher. Very similar in how he approaches his life, just from the opposite side of the coin.

As for his death, I thought it was appropriate. It shows more of who Reacher is. He is not about getting violent vengeance. He got his vengeance on the guy who actually did kill his friends. But, the other guy, he was just eliminated without emotion, and just put down.
