This show is incredible. You're upset Reacher is doing things other people can't? That's the whole premise of the Reacher franchise. To call for an end to the show? Stop. Get over yourselves and stop acting like you're reviewing stuff for the Oscars.

This show is so entertaining. This season is separate from season 1 which I love because it sets this show up to last a long time. It does have some awesome cameos (no spoilers here!) I've been a fan of Alan Ritchson since Blue Mountain State. He is absolutely showing his range as an actor excelling at his role as Reacher.

Entertainment doesn't have to be super realistic. "But, but, but, he shot down a helicopter after they were shooting at him, but he didn't get shot!" - this show has intrigue, mystery, action, romance, comedy, drama... what else do you need?!

Anyone who hasn't seen this show- watch it. Absolutely worth it. Everyone complaining about it being unrealistic? Get over yourself and leave the show to the people to enjoy it then.

For those looking for an improvement over ep5 will find it here, but it's still focusing on the story elements, with a bit of action toward the end.

Nay sayers will rate it low because of this more cerebral take to pay off the sub plot threads, we get definitive answers on a couple of things, but i won't spoil them.

This episode picks up soon after ep5, traveling around is skipped over and they just suddenly somewhere else.

Quality is still high with sound action and most of the casts acting and some good levity and one liners.

Downside: the ending tries to make a statement and develope a character but the final seconds cheapen it.

Quite an engaging episode with a lot of shooting and a tragic death towards the end! This series continues to please with its muscle bound titular character and supporting ensemble cast. There's a lot of shooting action and violence in this one but it's still an enjoyable ride, with even a sex scene thrown in where a female character wants to reduce some "pent up tension." The lead baddie, played by Robert Patrick of Terminator fame is fairly menacing but you just know Reacher is going to avenge his friend's death by throwing him out of a helicopter. All in all, a good episode though felt sorry for the traffic cop just doing her job who became collateral damage.

I like how a cop turns up when a rental car has something loose hanging on the windscreen. Bad news for the cop. Maybe she should not have attempted to write up a warning when the guy is visiting from Britain.

On the other hand Cop Russo is getting chased all over New York with a scared child in the back of his car. No cops at all anywhere.

Neagley is chasing to intercept the baddies chasing Russo. She must have been moving in slow motion.

As for Reacher, overjoyed by the news that his old army buddy Tony Swan might not be a villain in all this. Finally has Shane Langston cornered.

Only Reacher forgot to watch the skies.

It is enjoyable hokum despite all the plot holes and some laughable lines. Reacher telling Langston there was only way for him to leave and he would need to go past him. Langston went past him alright.

After the slower pace to set up plot points in the last episode, this picks up right where it left off and like a jigsaw puzzle, things are starting to fall into place.

A few friends complained after last episode's ending that (SPOILER) how can there be such a massive blast without waking anyone up. Great to see that the remote detonation was addressed within the first few sequences only.

The involvement of bent cops, AM being merciless as usual, and Reacher being himself (in some amazing action in the final 10 minutes) was really stitched up nicely together. (SPOILER) That Russo scene was absolutely brutal. There is only one more episode to go, and honestly I just can't wait !! Wow.

Just came here to express my disappointment with the action sequences. So many gunfights in this episode that were absolutely ridiculous. I've seen more credible shootouts between Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.

Reacher using a handgun while standing in plain view shooting at a man in a helicopter armed with a machine gun and doesn't get a scratch!!? Absurd.

But the topper is the ridiculously long sequence in which Detective Gaitano and a young girl are chased by a vehicle containing 4 men with assault guns firing endlessly. The bad guys are literally on the rear bumper in shot after shot yet Gaitano and the girl are apparently protected by an invisible bubble of bulletproof plexiglass. All 4 tires must have been indestructible. This ludicrous chase goes from one end of NYC to the other with nary another person in sight much less a cop car. The director apparently believes weapons fire continuously without ever running low on ammo and that bad guys always have very poor aiming skills compared to the good guys. The cliches in this episode (and the one before) are egregious and disappointing. Amateur hour for sure.

Episode 6 is such a disappointment of all the episodes from both seasons this is far and away the worse.

I hope this isnt a taste of what's to come it appears they are out of ideals with more episodes left to make and you can only fake it so long.

Maybe they will learn that fight unrealistic scenes cant hold a audience i just dont remember in season one having a let down like this, nothing in this 45 min was remotely possible id have to say 24 was more realistic than this Its a great series with good actors but they are as good as the writing and somewhere along this story it went south......

I am a Reacher Creature. Nuff said. So I even enjoyed the Tom Cruise films although was so pleased with the Prime series. Up until this episode, they got it. They understood the Reacher mystique and quirks. This episode took that a made it feel more of a run of the mill generic action with comedy film. You know the ones, the cinema thrives on them. That's why Reacher or Terminal List or Breaking Bad make a difference. They don't compromise and turn violence into a glib, superficial comic book depiction. Most all the action in this one felt that way. Except when Reacher killed those two characters. For that moment, I knew I was watching the real Reacher we know from the books.

I'm hoping it was a crap director of the week. So far it's been really good, though season one still seems superior.
