A lot of action and straight to the point scenes without unnecessary chatter and fillers... that is the way to go.,.

4 episodes and we kinda have a clear vision what is going on and why dudes are after reece..

nice show.. one of the best since Reacher. Action with a male protagonist that is not emasculated in favor of a random empowered woman. Good stuff.

Systematically, Reece is removing the players in the corrupt Capstone Enterprises organization. First, it is Marcus Boykyn who is taken out by a long sniper shot. Then, Reece travels to Mexico for revenge on Navajas, who was responsible for the murder of Lauren and Lucy.

While the episode's title is "Detachment," it is exactly the opposite emotion that drives Reece to undertake a much more dangerous mission by attacking Navajas' compound instead of the sniper shot recommended by Ben. Reece wants the personal satisfaction of looking the killer in the eye and virtually drawing-and-quartering him.

Katie is questioned and followed by the police, but she has discovered that Secretary Hartley's assistant is colluding with Steve Horn, who is now desperate to save Capstone Enterprises.

Senator Pryor will be the swing vote and it will be up to Harley's assistant to convince him to vote against the bill. Otherwise, the assistant will be nothing more than a footnote in Wikipedia.

1. Reece snipes a lawyer 2. Katie is under police suspicion 3. Reece takes out guts

More flaws than not in this episode. Katie is such an uninteresting character so I can't really stand the writers spending more time on her involving her family and the police. Marco and the Mexicans also feel like a weak character that doesn't really serve a clear purpose. Overall couple stale moments that I am getting tired of. There's very little tension throughout the episode because it's clear that the threats they face are not really significant to Reece as Navaja was such an easy target. Zero casualty or cost. They don't even dwell on the fact that Ben is injured. That whole sequence was mostly meaningless other than the brutal part about tying up the gut, which I thought was pretty cool. The downfall of a one-man show is that it's hard to make any other character feel meaningful so it becomes tough on the audience to watch an interaction between Reece and anyone else. Also these memory scenes are becoming dull and repetitive.

A decent enough story and cast goes off the rails as our hero Reece becomes progressively more unstable and violent, culminating in this episode with a torture death by him that is reminiscent of those old ISIS videos.

Possible very general spoilers follow. Implausible to anyone with any actual military experience. Rich guy wanders into the Pentagon underground with his goons? Nope. Bible discussion while devising a plot to kill "possible" murderers? Nope. And that is only two issues. Dialogue is basic at best with over used military jargon thrown in whether needed or used correctly. I tried very hard to like it and get into the plot but it was too over the top with complex issues oversimplified to fit the storyline. I haven't read the book but not sure I want to if the plot and story of the movie are close to the book.

I'm starting to wonder why all the retired Teams guys are being shown as millionaires. Keep in mind that "millionaire" doesn't mean what it once did when the dollar was valuable, but still, these people, Dan and Riley, show signs of having retired rich or gotten rich a few years after.

I know that they don't look more than just comfortable and leisured, but they have toys that belong to rich characters: Dan's boat and Riley's plane. I know several retired people of the same background who are working at Home Depot (a retired Master CPO) or driving nails (a retired Master Gunny) to get by. Is this the kind of characterization the novel had?

It strains credibility, but I guess that millionaire friends make the hunt easier to write about. So, Reece detours to Mexico to the home of another rich friend in order to kill the hitman. The rich friend also has a team of SF operators on tap; a further strain on my credulity.

I'd say that this episode is a step down from the one just past.
