[This story contains spoilers from the finale of Reacher‘s second season.]
Viewers of Reacher have now had one week to decompress, perhaps rewind, and think about how archvillain Shane Langston (Robert Patrick) finally got his in the season two finale.
After saving love interest Karla Dixon (Serinda Swan) from dropping mid-air out of a helicopter, Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) — while strapped to a gurney and with a knife stuck in his arm — goes to retrieve Langston and deliver him the same fate that had been handed to many of our series hero’s friends: being thrown out of a flying aircraft.
The scene was rewarding to viewers of Prime Video’s action-packed hit series. And it turns out that scene was also one of the highlights for Reacher showrunner Nick Santora. Santora doesn’t make light of how much he is a fan of both author Lee Child’s books (the source material for the series) and his lead actor, Ritchson.

Corrupt bureaucracy, depraved cops, greedy business tycoons, and degenerate celebs are as recurrent in Reacher’s lore as one would generally expect from crime thrillers and mostly serve to set up conflicts or act as catalysts in the flow of the narrative. Among these varied dregs of society, crooked politicians seem to have a knack of getting in Reacher’s way more often. Perhaps Reacher’s anti-authoritarian stance acts as a magnet to draw out the rot in the system, which was highlighted in the first season with Mayor Teale of Margrave, whose partnership with the shrewd business magnate Kliner drained the suburb from within. In the second season, matching the higher stakes of the narrative, Reacher faces another hurdle in the form of Senator Malcolm Levoy. Initially an accessory in Reacher’s investigation, Levoy’s involvement with the central crisis of the Littlewing conspiracy runs deep and continues until the very end.

This post contains spoilers for Season 2 of "Reacher."
The penultimate episode of "Reacher" season 2 ends on a cliffhanger, where Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) makes an impossible choice: he walks straight into the lion's den to save his dear friends. Things haven't been rosy for Reacher and his pals since the new season's inception, as the catalyst for the group banding together was the death of their mutual friend, Calvin Franz (Luke Bilyk), who served alongside them in the 110th Special Investigations Unit.
At the end of season 1, we see Reacher leaving Margrave to continue his wandering lifestyle, but the nature of this new case forces him to contend with his self-inflicted loneliness and tendency to keep people at bay. With his friends' lives on the line, Reacher must completely embrace his maverick spirit and throw a comically evil dude out of a helicopter to avenge his dead friends. And in typical Reacher fashion,...

One of the defining features of Lee Child’s Reacher novel series is its seemingly disconnected and self-contained nature, as a significant number of the titular protagonist’s adventures take him through totally different situations and experiences without bothering readers about continuity. The makers of Amazon Prime’s TV series of the same name adhered to this principle, which is how, after adapting Child’s first entry of the series, Killing Floor, in the first season, they jumped directly to the eleventh book of the series, Bad Luck and Troubles, to build upon the second one. As an introductory chapter, the first season of Reacher revolved around the exploitation of small-town resources by a greedy conglomerate and was relatively low-key in stakes, with a personal angle introduced through the death of Jack’s brother, Joe Reacher. In comparison, the second season aimed bigger, and along with a national-scale terrorism threat...

While there is no shortage of loner do-gooders in the action thriller genre, something with which we can all agree on is the fact that having the assistance of a sidekick or partner increases the appeal of such narratives. In Jack Reacher’s case, the snarky, sharp, quick-witted Pi Frances Neagley fits the bill, and if her increased role in the second season is any indication, the reception of her character among the viewers of Amazon Prime’s Reacher is wildly positive. As a former colleague of Jack Reacher in the military police and a vital member of his 110th unit of special investigators, Neagley’s presence in Reacher’s life has gradually moved beyond professional boundaries and she’s become the closest thing the wandering nomad can regard as family.
In the series, the Margrave saga of Reacher’s adventures introduced Neagley as one of his trusted acquaintances in the first season,...

Laying all the cards on the table before a showdown proves detrimental without exception, irrespective of the context of discussion, and as we approach the finale of the second season of Amazon Prime’s Reacher, we are reminded of the fact once again. So far, the season had built momentum for the inevitable confrontation between Reacher and his current adversaries, represented by the calculative, methodical A.M. and the brutal, despicable Langston, but it was delayed too much, and unsurprisingly, a rushed ending couldn’t pack that strong a punch.
In this season so far, Reacher’s past life in the army became the fulcrum of the narrative as members and friends of his former special investigation unit started getting hunted down by Shane Langston, the chief of security of the aerospace company New Age Tech. 110th unit special investigators, Franz, Sanchez, and Orozco, were brutally tortured and killed by Langston,...

Possessing a sharp, analytical, and composed mindset that perfectly complements his hulking stature, a war horse like Jack Reacher surely must have foreseen the possible ramifications of going after a hard-boiled corrupt cop like Langston in his efforts to foil a terrorist scheme. After a number of close calls since the first episode of this season, danger finally caught up to Reacher’s team in the penultimate episode, leaving him in a critical juncture that, as of now, has forced him into the most vulnerable situation yet.
In the previous episode, Reacher and his team had managed to locate New Age’s director of operations, Marlo Burns, and they learned that she had hired Swan to investigate the company’s suspicious security department, which was filled with corrupt cops. Elsewhere, Detective Russo confronted NYPD Lieutenant Marsh about his shady dealings with Langston and ratting on Reacher’s team, and he...

This post contains spoilers for "Reacher" season 2, episode 7.
Jack Reacher has never been one to abide by the rules. In Lee Child's "Persuader," the seventh novel in the "Jack Reacher" series, Reacher goes out of his way to work for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to crack down on a trafficker, deliberately breaking a handful of official rules just to do the right thing. This kernel of dogged perseverance has always been an integral part of Reacher's personality in every iteration of his character, and "Reacher" season 2 continues this tradition by allowing him to break the rules yet again.
In "Reacher" season 2's seventh and penultimate episode, Reacher and his team — his colleagues at the 110th Special Investigations Unit years ago — are backed against the wall thanks to the machinations of Shane Langston (Robert Patrick) and the elusive A.M.

With the season finale approaching, Amazon Prime’s Reacher starts getting intense, finally bringing back the one-man action show fans have been craving since the beginning of the season. However, amidst all the thrills and action, it’s the characters in Reacher who shine the brightest, and the second season is no exception in that regard. Accordingly, the second season’s newly introduced character, NYPD Detective Russo’s arc, steals the show and makes the episode one of the most memorable yet in the ongoing season.
In the previous episode, it was revealed that New Age Tech’s shipment of Littlewing missiles was strategically stolen and swapped by A.M., just as he had planned with Langston to avoid suspicion. However, Neagley and Dixon’s timely interference almost foils the plan, but the shipment gets stolen nonetheless by A.M.’s henchmen. Intricately connected with this terrorist conspiracy is the...

This post contains spoilers for the first six episodes of "Reacher" season 2, as well as for the novel it's based on, "Bad Luck and Trouble."
This week's "Reacher" episode includes perhaps the most emotionally charged moment in the entire series so far: Detective Russo (Domenick Lombardozzi) sacrifices his life in a shootout with Langton's men, saving the life of a young girl in the process. It's a bit of a redemptive moment for him; Russo spent the first half of the season as a potential mole for Langston, and he didn't do himself any favors with his repeated delusional threats to kick Jack Reacher's ass. But after showing his more sensitive side with Calvin Franz's kid in last week's episode, "Burial," and then helping Reacher out in the graveyard shootout sequence, it became clear that Russo really was as honorable as he claimed to be. In hindsight, we should've known he was about to die.

This post contains spoilers for episode 6 of "Reacher" season 2.
A sinister conspiracy is unraveling in the latest season of "Reacher," where the titular ex-Special Investigations officer (played by Alan Ritchson) and his old colleagues are in a race against time when it comes to stopping a deadly terrorist plan. Things are further complicated when Reacher and Neagley (Maria Sten) witness a building explode after a contract killer confesses that Tony Swan (Shannon Kook) hired him to kill members of Reacher's team. As Swan was close to everyone in Reacher's 110th Special Investigations Unit from years ago, this revelation impacts Reacher and co. emotionally, especially considering Swan's apparent involvement in the dangerous missile program, Project Littlewing.
Episode 6, titled "New York's Finest," rapidly moves towards dissecting the Swan problem after Reacher and his team interrogate Marlo Burns (Christina Cox), the Director of Operations at New Age, who is currently on the run.

Yet another episode of the second season of Amazon Prime’s Reacher gets spent in investigation and building up the upcoming conflict between Reacher’s unit and the combined might of A.M. Langston. With three episodes remaining in the season, the showrunners are bound to rush the action during the final confrontation, and we are hoping that doesn’t hamper the flow of the narrative as a result. In the previous episode, while investigating the systematic killing of their 110th unit comrades, Reacher’s team learned that New Age Technology received a contract for a high-profile defense project named Littlewing, which they obtained with the political backing of a certain corrupt Senator Levoy. The team squeezed Levoy’s legislative director, Daniel Boyd, who spilled out the truth about Project Littlewing, which is software that can allow anti-aviation weaponry to bypass any form of radio redirection security. New Age’s chief of security,...

This post contains spoilers for episode one of "Reacher" season 2.
After a long wait, Alan Ritchson's Reacher is finally back for more punching-bad-guys-really-hard in the face action. This time, there's one particular bad guy who is surely heading for one of the most epic "Reacher" beatings yet.
Prior to the second season's debut, it was announced that Robert Patrick had replaced Rory Cochrane in the role of Shane Langston, a former NYPD detective who now heads up security for a private defense contractor. While Langston doesn't appear in "Bad Luck and Trouble," the book on which "Reacher" season 2 is based, he seems to be a version of the character Allen Lamaison, an ex-LAPD officer who, in the novel, became the director of the defense contractor New Age. Either way, it's obvious from the inaugural episode of season 2 that Langston has something to do with the insidious plot to...

Plot: Reacher is pulled from his vagabond life by a coded message informing him that a member of the 110th – his elite group of Army Special Investigators – has been murdered. He and some of his former military cohorts reunite to investigate and soon realize the case is bigger than they ever could have imagined.
Review: After two feature films starring Tom Cruise, the Prime Video version of Reacher brought Alan Richtson into the title role to personify the physical stature of Lee Child’s vision for the character. The first season of Reacher was not quite a mystery and not quite an action series but was closer to the novels than Cruise’s take on the tale. Fans took to the new Reacher, and a second season was ordered early, with a third on the way before the sophomore run even debuted. Luckily, the second season of Reacher is even better than the first,...
