The Man Goes Through

Dirty cops, dirty military even dirty politicians. No wonder Reacher likes to be rootless.

First Reacher makes sure that Marlo Burns and her daughter are safe.

Then to get revenge on Russo's death. Reacher goes to see his boss. The one who sold Russo out to Langston.

The latter wants to make sure there are no loose ends. Reacher discovers that the man Neagley ran over is still alive.

The penultimate episode still sees the need for extended flashbacks. Why the 100th was disbanded as Reacher disobeyed orders and went to get the drug runners.

It was never properly explained why the military wanted to protect people who wanted to smuggle heroin to the the USA.

The ending did feel flat to me. It leads to an explosive showdown for the finale. It is just Langston getting the upper hand led me to roll my eyes.

Season 2 has been very disappointing with Reacher looking haggard and tired. The plot also has had no suspense or thrill elements.

This episode at least has some solid action and one-liners by Reacher which was sorely missing in the earlier episodes.

Season 1 still remains better in all aspects be it plot ,cast or location but for action fans they are redeemed a bit in this episode. It does have flaws like why would you ship the New Age lady and her daughter in full public view in daytime when you know Langston guys are actively looking for them.

Also the unit makes its so easy for Langston guys to locate them with no caution to do things discretely.

The biggest disappointment this Season has been the completely linear plot with flashbacks which are no way pertinent to the main story thrown in.

Every episode leaves me wanting more I could watch full 22 episode seasons of these characters. One of the best shows if not the best show in the last 20 years.
