Unfinished Business

No spoilers here. You have action, lots of it. Anything you were anticipating to be wrapped up tidied up and got answered in this episode. In Reacher fashion, you have the big fight with a nemesis set up earlier in the season. Some of the ways Reacher gets out of it are more unreal, but hey, it's an action show and the show's going to go on. I feel like this is pretty good closure for this storyline. We get to see Neagley in action. You root for Reacher to come out on top. For the entertainment value and pretty decent storyline, this episode gets a 9 out of 10. Much better than Season 2 in my opinion.

It cannot be disputed that their best Season remains the first one. It had exemplary story, cast and suspense. Both the seasons after that have lacked suspense and lack of intrigue in the story. Season 3 kind of makes up for the poor casting in Season 2 and the impossible fight sequence in the final episode. Season 3 has a brilliant cast with Sonya Cassidy as a brilliant addition who has great chemistry with Reacher. The fight sequences in this episode were great though it was not clear how Reacher got the giant in the water(poor lighting). But overall a very satisfactory end to the Season which had good fights,cast but a threadbare plot.

Even though there are a few huge head-scratcher plot holes, I loved this episode. Everything from this season was wrapped up satisfactorily and with great fanfare. And, even though, the finale fight between Reacher & Pauli was telegraphed for several episodes it was a spectacular fight sequence that went on for the perfect amount of time. I mean, it was extended, to say the least. But right when I reached for the remote to fast-forward the fight was done. I really enjoyed season three-far more than season two. The only thing I disliked was the Duffy character, with that awful Boston accent, she-boss aggression and cross-eyed stare, I mostly fast-forwarded her scenes.

I would prefer to be able to review a Season instead of one episode, or the entire series.. but here we are.

This didn't have to be anything but a satisfying conclusion of all loose ends, and that's exactly what it is! A good and fun final confrontation we've been waiting for, and another Reacher Book story done.

At 8 episodes of 50 minutes (weekly), it feels a tad long in retrospect. It doesn't do the ground work that Season 1 did (which is still my favorite) nor does it "improve" on the main character.. aside from "thing from the past". It is still consistently good and uses its resources effectively! Which is not something I can say from most series these days.

At this point, I'm just watching for more of Lee Child and Alan Ritchson.

Amazon, THIS is pure entertainment, thank you for not injecting anything other than fast paceing, action, suspense and humour into this amazing show.

Why cant you do this with all your other shows ?

Alan R is Reacher, his 'know before knowing' attitude helps him think on his feet, but also be compassionate when needed.

The female leads are also perfect, with just the right amount of everything and not over the top invincibility we see in other productions, strength is earned, fights are earned, not just given to.

Love the story too, good guys/gals et al, simple dynamics and rewarding story telling

10 out of 10 earned, more and more please.
