Hmmm so the final scene with the English-accent terrorist just has him standing there trying to explain his worldview and garner some form of understanding from Reacher and The Team.
This is the guy who without hesitation would slice people's throats with superhuman speed and even killed that female state trooper (so him asking to be arrested didn't make sense) but now he just stands there and tries to explain himself rather than kill his way out.
I had hoped he would whip out his knife and there would be some climatic knife fight at the end, maybe he would even escape somehow and become an ongoing nemesis, but nope. The team gunned him down standing there side by side like it was the ending of The Wild Bunch.
There was a pattern of talkative villains, notably the one with the brass knuckles who stopped attacking Reacher to lengthily inform him that he could choose how to die.. and wow the main villain did this all for the money? He wanted to get his money and spend the rest of his life somewhere on a beach with hot, tanned women? You don't say. Glad he explained that.
Finally after being shot, having bullets removed with knives, beaten and stabbed they just go to a diner to sip coffee?
That said this was overall an entertaining show, I will definitely watch season 3. Let's hope it is a little more realistic. Writers and producers, you can make this show more understated, it doesn't have to be so over the top that it becomes unrealistic. The main characters were more like Terminators than real people.
