I caught the finale on my lunch hour. It could have been worse. But man, there is one moment where the need to suspend disbelief was too much to bear and that is saying something when it comes to this show.

I’m still amazed at how they can nail S1 out of the gate and then produce S2-4. What a waste.

he threw that asian girl out of a third story window and we see her hit the ground and her head on the pavement, and yet there she was with her carpet knife in the last scene.

Exactly. It was like she was a Terminator. That scene alone might make me check out on the rest of the series. They could have at least had her hit some stuff to break her fall or make it less of a distance. She was like Michael Myers in that scene. Didn't even seem injured.

100%. Additionally, Amisha would’ve easily overpowered and turned the gun on rent-a-cop Jacob Merrick while she was being led to the car during her arrest.

I did like the fact they made Reacher human in the fight with multiple goons. They inflicted some serious hits, but no way he survives all the slashes from Lila and Amisha right after.

It was a letdown after last episode, but the season was still wildly entertaining for what it’s worth. I’ll definitely keep watching next season.

They girlbossed the shite out of that finale. Take that patriarchy.

Season 4 was terrible.

2/10.

It was better than S2, maybe? It started out decently but I swear they have unpaid interns writing this slop.

It would be less frustrating if this was just the best Amazon can do. But we know they can take a popular book to the screen without completely shitting the bed, because they did it in S1 of Reacher and they did it with the Terminal List. For Reacher it's as if they had an A-team that wrote S1 to suck everybody in then they turned it over to film students from a local high school.

I thought the finale was fine but would have been better I'd he'd crawled out into the street and that was the end. Adding the one ear guy and the immune from asphalt lady at the end made it worse.

Zero interest in Neagley

I liked the series Neagley. I thought it was going to be a clone of reacher, but it seems that they’re gonna have a continuous storyline without changing all the characters except the main one.

A few. But the one basically going all Michael Myers at the end.

The whole idea and plot of the season was pretty good. The writing was bad and some of the scenes were so ridiculous and I haven't watched the finale yet. Sounds like it was more of the same.

The scene that was over the top was the stand off with the Asian girls and the Hit team comes in with guns blazing. So those guys come in and are trained mercenaries and unarmed crew ends up taking them out. That really just did it for me. It's why haven't been itching to watch the finale.

Also where the Congressman's guard followed the van in the woods dressed in a suit. That guy pulls off 2 headshots on 2 guys that already had their guns drawn and behind their back. The reality needs to come back into these scenes. I might be punching out on this series.
