While Neagley (Maria Sten) does some research on the people Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is working for, the third episode of Reacher‘s Third Season focuses mainly on Reacher covering up his own mess and maneuvering himself into a stronger position within Zachary Beck’s (Anthony Michael Hall) organization. This involves sneaking out for a moonlit swim and, with the help of Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy), hiding the body of Angel (Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz) and the two drivers who walk in on them. Then, using the disappearances of the three men to his advantage, Reacher manages to take out Duke (Donald Sales) paving the way for Reacher to become Beck’s new #1 guy.

Daredevil: Born Again – Heaven’s Half Hour

In a perfect world, the events of the first 10 minutes of Daredevil: Born Again would have taken place as part of another MCU movie or show. After the (already leaked) events that open the show, “Heaven’s Half Hour” jumps a year forward to reintroduce our core characters and new supporting ones. Bringing us back to status quo, only to jump forward to a new reality, and then likely to return back to familiar ground in a couple of episodes does feel unnecessarily messy. If these events had actually occurred a year (or more) ago, and we were left to stew on them in real time, the lose and our new introduction would have had far more dramatic effect. However, despite the glut of content Marvel continues to pour out, and attempts to keep all events connected across the MCU, none of these other shows, or even films, have had the dramatic weight to contain these sequences.

After performing an unorthodox loyalty test, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) snoops a bit after hours looking for the missing informant (Storm Steenson) before beginning his job as part of Zachary Beck’s (Anthony Michael Hall) crew. Paired with Angel (Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz), his first job involves looking into the kidnapping which requires some quick thinking on the part of Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy).

Reacher – Persuader

  • Title: Reacher – Persuader
  • IMDb: link

Adapting a different novel for each season, every season of Reacher has been a bit different. That continues in the kick-off of the show’s Third Season where Reacher‘s (Alan Ritchson) good Samaritan schtick gets him in hot water. Saving a young man (Johnny Berchtold) from a kidnapping attempt, things go downhill quickly with our hero having few options and delivering the kid to his wealthy father (Anthony Michael Hall). The rest of the episode involves flashbacks to the days leading up to Reacher’s save, where we learn not everything we’ve seen is exactly as it seems, and Reacher agreeing to work for the wealthy rug importer (but that’s not the only thing he’s importing).
