I like that despite seemingly a know it all, Reacher still consistently have blind spots. Especially when it comes to empathizing with others, he didn’t know about Finlays wife in s1, and didn’t know this cops dad and his backstory either.
Something about Reacher I've noticed is that he's so used to dumbasses messing with him that he's developed a bit of an ego. So the moment he is dealing with an opponent that actually is competent he caught flat footed.
Love Reacher & Russo's scenes as Reacher realises Russo is as much a badass as he is but is constrained by the law. We need a spin off show with Domenick Lombardozzi.
This is the episode that hit me like a freight train. I mean seriously, I haven’t had this much of an emotional reaction to a show since Rescue Me. The level of human emotion in the prior scene had me in the verge of tears. And I just love Russo’s character. The way he kneeled down to speak with the boy…it’s like he was speaking to his younger self. Kudos to the actor portraying him.
I'm betting you're a yank. You yankee types over emote like a six year old having been told to go to bed early. And the secne you mention was dreadful and acted like amatuers would As for the script in that scene it made me wanna puke. Dreadful.
Yeah, this episode got to me, too. Growing up in New York, I use to know some characters just like Russo. That's why he is so relatable to me. Jack Reacher is military tough and doesn't take crap from anybody. Russo is coming from a different place. A street smart cop with has a lot of heart. This whole dynamic and dialogue was fire!!!!
Russo was a great character that I really appreciated. Could have gone the route of "modernizing" his appearance and mannerisms for social brownie points, but instead went with the traditional depiction of what you might assume to be a dirty cop these days, and turns out he's one of the most standup guys in the city.
tbh thats what i like a bout him. he aint perfect, hes not an infallible superhero. makes him more human/relatable in my eyes and definitely makes for a more interesting character as a whole IMO
It is really interesting to see Reacher have so much faith in Swan Neagley said that Reacher only goes off of facts and attempts to make the logical conclusion from what he has even if the conclusion is not a positive one But with Swan all the evidence at the time pointed to him being corrupt even I thought Swan was gonna the overall antagonist But Reacher still defends him defying all logic out of faithfulness
@@akae.5707 I haven't seen this show yet, but it's based on the book, "Bad Luck and Trouble". From the clips I've seen, there are similarities, such as the character's names and some of what happens, but I'm not expecting rigid adherence to the original.
@@MarsFKA There's not, I've read the book; it's close enough. The Reacher character is closer than Tom Cruise's version, but the quips and the story-line is pretty much in the ballpark. Reacher's character is a touch more openly emotional in the TV version, but, again, close enough.
I loved that they portrayed flaws of Reacher alongside his almost "no fail assumptions." He too is a human who sometimes gets blinded by superiority complex. Russo humbled him and Reacher's face said it all.
@@invertedexistence you know that Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Arnold, even The Mountain from Game of Thrones have admitted to taking HGH and/or steroids to get to that size!? Their bodies and muscles are not 100% natural!!
I like this scene because it shows how human Reacher still is and always will be. He mistakenly judged Russo and it took someone like Russo standing up to Reacher for Reacher to see his mistake. In the end they both wanted the same thing... justice.
This is what the show needs. Awesome characters can quickly become boring if they aren't given flaws/checked every now and then *cough*Jack Ryan*cough*The seven foot tall super strong god genius must be humbled once in a while!!!
i agree i wanted his character to develop more after giving the girl you can see a sense of trust between russo and reacher and now with the neagley grabbing his hand
Personally can’t take Alan’s performance serious. He feels too much like a dumb blonde trying to be smart. He just has one mode in his voice and never really leaves that.
I really liked the Russo character. Lazy writing but the actor over delivered. I really hope for another lazy writing, like, Somehow Russo returned, and see him in next season
Just finished watching this episode. It's poor, average, full of all that over-wrought over -emotional American bullsh*t and the script is really bad. The previous episodes in this series were't that great but this one made me shout at the screen. The previous series humour seems to have gone and the Reacher character is becoming cliched with Richson just going through the motions. The scene at the funeral acted between Reacher and the cop made me cringe. Then the action sequence after was just another shoot n chase on foot with a gazillion bullets fired and only one person got hit. Then a car chase that was poorly filmed. Whenever there's a suggestion that one of Reachers ex army pals may be a crook we get a close up of Richson looking pained. Honestly, it's that bad. It's a shame because the books avoided all that - this is just another averagely made and acted American action repetition of all too many other shows.
I loved sea. 1 so much but I'm sad to say.... I'm right there with ya about sea. 2 so far. Going thru the motions.... EXACTLY. And you're right, starting to feel like everything else we've seen a thousand times with these types of shows.
Yeah I understand your criticism and perspective. To a large degree the extent you mentioned you are right. It's a unfortunate trend many people tolerate too much over perfect progression these days. Since how bad shows and productions have gotten and people have slowly became desensitized about other levels of badness that make story structure sense when it comes to judging aesthetics they have become more tolerant of oversaturated lukewarm drama scenes like this when they grew tired of the other extremes. It's a bit of ashame really. It's a compromise people don't realize they have truthfully made. It goes to show how warp our foundation of tenents can become when we are not ever vigilant when faced against the worse dichotomies. We accidentally become indifferent to the smaller detracting elements such as these overly polarizing scenes too much.

Reacher has a problem with assuming the worst in people.
Experience will do that to a person. @@pxnk_n_disorderly
@@pxnk_n_disorderlyas another character once said, "it saves time later"
@werewolfroad why put this ha, I hope you're wrong but I'll just be waiting for it now haha
I like that he admitted it like a man. "I didn't know that about..." is a phrase that we could use a lot more.
Something about Reacher I've noticed is that he's so used to dumbasses messing with him that he's developed a bit of an ego. So the moment he is dealing with an opponent that actually is competent he caught flat footed.
I love how layered reacher is compared to your average action hero. We’ve already seen so many of his vulnerabilities this season
Persuader had a villain who is bigger than Reacher
@@007dalalok
And?
Point?
@@mr.random6276 the point is STEPHEN LEE
Sometimes Reacher needs a reality check. And he got checked. Whether he likes it or not.
He does have blind spots, he’s not perfect. Happened lotta times in the books as well
"I didn't know that about your father."
"You didn't KNOW? Wow, I thought you knew everything!"

so much for that😢
He can be the bad guy.
Yeah, I posted that before I watched the next episode, we never got to see Reacher and Russo fight.
Amen!!!! Wow, this scene was fire!!!
Dude was great in The Wire.

Reminds me of Harvey Bullock...
Bravo to the writers, directors and actors in this scene.
I think Reacher cant Come to terms that his friend turned coats and Just lashes out on poor Herc here.
Glad to see a fellow “The Wire” fan 👌🏽
I love this russo character..
"Yeah, well, what you don't know could fill the Javits!!" 😂🔥💀
This Scene is what made Russo my favorite character for season 2. Rest In Peace
Reacher will fight even when he has no place too. I feel like it’s a character flaw.
Agreed, but I think it's more interesting to have a flawed protagonist than one who's perfect in every way
Same with how he refuses to believe a man that he’d trust with his life would be dirty
tbh thats what i like a bout him. he aint perfect, hes not an infallible superhero. makes him more human/relatable in my eyes and definitely makes for a more interesting character as a whole IMO
the Japanese have a saying, "when you have a hammer in your hand, all your problems look like nails"
All that muscle and bulk comes with heaping levels of testosterone.
Yeah I really love this reacher series unbelievably awesome can't wait for the next shows
The acting in this scene is awesome.
Damn this season is gonna be epic..
He was emotional from the moment he said Aquaman
It is really interesting to see Reacher have so much faith in Swan
Neagley said that Reacher only goes off of facts and attempts to make the logical conclusion from what he has even if the conclusion is not a positive one
But with Swan all the evidence at the time pointed to him being corrupt even I thought Swan was gonna the overall antagonist
But Reacher still defends him defying all logic out of faithfulness
This bald guy always plays a cop in like everything
Russo was a great character. The actor was great in The Wire as well. Im assuming he is dead after that last episode.

@@user-of6uq6xx2p thank you
Javits center. Where NYC Comic Con is held
They should make 6 or 7 seasons of this
One season per book. That would work for me - twenty-nine books and counting (not including the "No Middle Name" short stories collection)

When Russo died I got sad. That’s how you know the actor did his thing and the show is fire
Preach🎉
I loved that they portrayed flaws of Reacher alongside his almost "no fail assumptions." He too is a human who sometimes gets blinded by superiority complex. Russo humbled him and Reacher's face said it all.
I liked their chemistry
More like:

Russo, a good man

It was not confirmed at the end of episode 6.
@@cookedit just saying it in advance if he is gone.
To be honest the acting is very good!!
Russo was one of my favorites. Good cop in a a ugly World.Worthy of the 110

How did I see the whole season before realizing that's Herc??? Should've recognized him instantly!!!
What you don’t know could fill the javits. Classic line lol New Yorkers stand up
Did they just have a private conversation in front of everybody
I like this scene because it shows how human Reacher still is and always will be. He mistakenly judged Russo and it took someone like Russo standing up to Reacher for Reacher to see his mistake. In the end they both wanted the same thing... justice.
Finally gets humbled... 🙌🏽
Yeah but what you don’t know could fill the javits!!!!
Reacher so roided up looks like he wanna burst ngl lol
It kinda sells his road worn look though.
Yea he’s got the Conor Mcgregor newbie steroid jaw
Russo totally saved Season 2
imagine having no joy
